<strong>DONG</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> involves local operators<br />

in oil exploration<br />

Exploration for oil and gas is linked to environmental risks<br />

that must be managed on the basis of the best possible<br />

knowledge base. One of the ways in which <strong>DONG</strong> <strong>Energy</strong><br />

ensures this is by working with relevant local operators<br />

who can contribute knowledge and challenge the solutions<br />

chosen.<br />

In Norway, in recent years, <strong>DONG</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> has worked with<br />

local fishermen and public authorities on the Group’s<br />

mapping of potential environmental impacts of drilling in<br />

the Barents Sea. One of the results of the dialogue has<br />

been joint environmental emergency plans that are designed<br />

to protect the coastline in the event of accidents.<br />

“Risk is part of business in our industry. But by involving<br />

stakeholders and being open and responsive in relation<br />

to oil drilling, we believe that we have created trust in<br />

<strong>DONG</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> and have reassured the local community,”<br />

says QHSE Manager Morten A. Torgersen, <strong>DONG</strong><br />

E&P Norge.<br />
