Today, we remember the Piper Alpha tragedy, a devastating incident that occurred on July 6, 1988, in the North Sea. The incident resulted in the loss of 167 lives and had a profound impact on the oil and gas industry. As we reflect, let us also recognize the valuable lessons learned and our unwavering commitment to safety. The Piper Alpha disaster served as a wake-up call for the industry, highlighting the critical need for robust safety systems and effective emergency response protocols. It taught us that safety is not just a responsibility but a mindset that should be embraced by each one of us. Today, as professionals, let us renew our commitment to safety. By prioritizing safety in all our actions, we can prevent incidents, protect lives, and safeguard our environment. Together, we honor the memory of those affected by the Piper Alpha tragedy by working towards a safer future. #SafetyFirst# sangomar 🇲🇲

Several #chemical #companies are shutting down plants in #Louisiana, with others taking other precautionary measures as the eye of #Francine – now a Category 2 hurricane – approaches the coast for imminent landfall. Roehm is taking its methyl methacrylate (#MMA) plant in Fortier, Louisiana offline. BASF earlier on 10 September started procedures to idle operations in Geismar, North Geismar and Vidalia, Louisiana. Shell has shut in oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico at its Perdido, Auger and Enchilada/Salsa assets, but its chemical production sites in Geismar and Norco, Louisiana, and Deer Park, Texas, were operating normally as of Shell’s latest update on 10 September.

Reflecting on the Piper Alpha Incident: A Legacy of Safety Today marks the anniversary of the tragic Piper Alpha disaster, which occurred on July 6, 1988. This catastrophic event resulted in the loss of 167 lives and remains the deadliest offshore oil disaster in history. As leaders in the industry, it's crucial to honor the memory of those affected by this tragedy by continuously striving for the highest standards of safety and responsibility. The Piper Alpha incident underscored the importance of rigorous safety protocols, effective emergency response plans, a culture of vigilance and accountability. In the wake of the disaster, significant changes were implemented across the sector. This transformation highlights the industry's capacity for growth and adaptation in the face of adversity, but shouldn’t lead us into a sense of security this sort of event couldn’t happen again. Constant vigilance is always required in high hazard sectors. Let us commit to learning from the past, advocating for continuous improvement, and ensuring that the lessons of Piper Alpha and the subsequent Cullen Report guide our decisions and actions. #PiperAlpha #SafetyFirst #IndustryLeaders #OilAndGas #LegacyOfSafety
