International Association of Oil & Gas

Producers
The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) is the petroleum industry's global forum in which
members identify and share best practices to achieve improvements in health, safety, the environment, security, social
responsibility, engineering and operations.

The association was formed in London in 1974[1] to develop effective communications between the upstream industry and
the network of international regulators. Originally called the E&P Forum (for oil and gas exploration and production[2]),
in 1999 the name International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) was adopted. Most of the world’s leading
publicly traded, private and state-owned oil & gas companies, oil & gas associations and major upstream service
companies are members. IOGP members produce 40% of the world’s oil and gas.[3]

Co-operation with other bodies

IOGP also represent the interests of the upstream industry before international regulators and legislators in UN bodies
such as the International Maritime Organization and the Commission for Sustainable Development. IOGP also works with
the World Bank and with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is also accredited to a range of
regional bodies that include OSPAR, the Helsinki Commission and the Barcelona Convention, and provides a conduit for
advocacy and debate between the upstream industry and the European Union (EU). This involves regular contact with the
European Commission and the European Parliament.

IOGP data reports

Every year, IOGP collects and publishes data on upstream operations worldwide, both onshore and offshore, from
participating member companies and their contractor employees. The reports are free and publicly available.[4] The data
covers:

Occupational safety
Environmental performance
Process safety events
Health management

Land transport safety

Aviation safety
Occupational safety:

Since 1985, when IOGP started reporting annual trends in upstream safety
data, there have been considerable improvements in industry performance.

Today, it is the industry’s largest database of safety performance, covering

participating member company employees and their contractors onshore and
offshore, worldwide. Fatal incidents are analysed by incident category, activity
and associated causal factors, and incident descriptions are provided for fatal Fatalities and FAR graph (1985 -
incidents and high potential events. 2015)

Environmental performance:
IOGP has collected and published environmental data from its participating member companies on an annual basis since
2001. The objectives of this programme are to allow member companies to compare their performance with other
companies in the sector; and increase transparency of industry operations. The reports aggregate information at both
global and regional levels, expressed within six environmental indicator categories:

Gaseous emissions
Energy consumption
Flaring
Aqueous discharges
Non-aqueous drilling fluids retained on cuttings discharged to sea
Spills of oil and chemicals
Process safety events:
Process safety is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle
hazardous substances. It relies on good design principles, engineering and operating and maintenance practices. The
process safety events (PSE) data are based on the numbers of Tier 1 and Tier 2 process safety events reported by
participating IOGP member companies, separately for:

Onshore and offshore

Drilling and production
Activities
Consequences
Material released
The data are normalized against work hours associated with drilling and production activities to provide PSE rates.

Health management:
IOGP (with IPIECA) has developed two tools to assess health leading performance indicators within individual companies.
These enable performance comparison between different parts of a company and between participating companies. The
annual health leading performance indicators report illustrates the results submitted by participating companies for both
tools and includes actual anonymous results for the year by company, trends over time and the potential benefits to health
management in the industry. Land transport safety In April 2005, IOGP published Report No. 365, Land transportation
safety recommended practice, a guideline designed to be applicable to all land transportation activities in the upstream oil
and gas industry, including operators, contractors and subcontractors. IOGP collects data on motor vehicle crashes and
information submitted by participating member companies are published from 2008 onwards. Data are broken down by
region and crash category. Data are further grouped to indicate the number of crashes that resulted in a rollover. This
includes:

Number of Motor Vehicle Crash (MVC) fatalities

Number of Motor Vehicle Crashes for each reporting group and category
Motor vehicle crash rate (Motor Vehicle Crashes per million kilometres) for each reporting group and category.

Global Production Report

In 2018, IOGP published its Global Production Report.[5] It is based on the latest BP Statistical Review of World
Energy[6] and establishes an IOGP Production Indicator© (PI) – the level at which a region is able to meet its own oil or
gas demand – for seven regions across the world. A PI higher than 100% means the region produces more than it needs to
meet its own requirements and so can export.

The main conclusion of the report is that demand growth and the annual
depletion rate of 6% of existing fields are driving the need for investment to
gain additional volumes. Such investment will depend on regional and local IOGP production indicators for oil
policies that encourage responsible resource development. and gas in seven regions.

European Petroleum Survey Group

In 2005, IOGP absorbed the European Petroleum Survey Group or EPSG (1986–2005) into its structure. EPSG was
a scientific organization with ties to the European petroleum industry consisting of specialists working in applied geodesy,
surveying, and cartography related to oil exploration. EPSG compiled and disseminated the EPSG Geodetic Parameter Set,
a widely used database of Earth ellipsoids, geodetic datums, geographic and projected coordinate systems, units of
measurement, etc.

IOGP Outstanding Young Professional Award (OYPA)

The award, in association with the biennial SPE HSSE-SR International Conference, recognizes the achievements of an
individual with fewer than 10 years of professional E&P experience, who demonstrates professional accomplishments and
evidence of outstanding talent, dedication and leadership in at least one aspect of health, safety, security, the environment
and/or social responsibility.[7]

2018 winner: Marcin Nazaruk, BP.[8] Finalists: Mohammed A. Al-Ghazal, Saudi Aramco; Jessica Guzzetta-King, Genesis;
