Is your contract at risk?
HF / HP is now part of the HSE contract pre-qualification questionnaire for the Oil and Gas industry
SEQual – the O&G industry Supplier Evaluation and Qualification platform (https://sequal.co.uk/) has now published seven questions focused on demonstrating the practical application of HF / HP. This means, that any company wishing to bid for work in the UK O&G industry has to demonstrate how they integrate HF/HP into their organisation.
HF / HP questions are included in global Request for Proposal (RFP) by major O&G companies
Major O&G companies use the SEQual HF / HP questions globally in their respective “Request for Proposal” and prequalification questionnaires. The list includes companies such as BP, Shell, Repsol Sinopec, Apache, Premier, CNOOC, Spirit, TAQA, Serica or Chrysaor.
Compare your understanding and practices with the industry standards
The purpose of this document is to allow HSE professionals who provide answers to the pre-qualification questionnaires, and anyone else interested, to quickly establish if their companies apply HF / HP as per the industry guidance.
