10 NEN s activities (1) Standards development: Development of national standards (NEN, NTA, NPR) Only when there is a need (e.g. link to national legislation) Can be used as starting document for European or international standardization (e.g. in case of new developments) Mirror committees for CEN, CENELEC, ISO and IEC technical committees for which a Dutch interest exists Input in European and international standardization activities through experts, commenting, voting and other means Decision about national adoption of international standards Secretariat for several CEN, CENELEC, ISO and IEC technical committees (e.g. ISO/TC 67 and CEN/TC 12) 10

11 NEN s activities (2) Standards publishing: Sales of standards Separate standards (hard copy of digital) Licensing through NEN Connect => subscriber can determine own collection of standards Supporting documents for implementing standards Web tools (e.g. sustainable employability, performance evaluations, implementation of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001) 11

12 NEN s activities (3) Standards services: Training Class room training In-company / corporate training E-learning / online training Events Own events to engage stakeholders for new initiatives (i.e. attracting new members for standards development) Own events to inform society about new publications (i.e. attracting customers for purchasing standards products) Participation in congresses and exhibitions Consultancy (supporting organizations with implementing standards) 12

13 NEN s activities (4) Standards related activities: Standardization requests (mandates) (Pre-)standardization research (e.g. Horizon 2020 projects) Scheme management and registers (e.g. ISO 55001, HKZ) * Self declarations (e.g. ISO / CSR) Management of hazardous substances publication series Project management (e.g. LNG safety program) * See also NEN and conformity assessment 13

14 NEN and conformity assessment (1) Option 1: each CAB individually Accreditation body - RvA Conformity assessment body (CAB Conformity assessment body (CAB Conformity assessment body (CAB Conformity assessment body (CAB Standard Scheme Scheme Scheme Scheme Market 14

15 NEN and conformity assessment (2) Option 2: central certification scheme to be used by CABs Accreditation body - RvA Scheme owner Scheme Conformity assessment body (CAB Conformity assessment body (CAB Conformity assessment body (CAB Standard Market 15

16 NEN and conformity assessment (3) Benefits of option 2: All associated CABs use the same method of assessment All associated CABs use the same criteria for issuing a certificate (but also for suspension or withdrawal) Interpretation disputes will be resolved in a harmonized way Central committee of experts responsible for managing certification scheme (instead of each CAB having its own committee) 16

17 NEN and conformity assessment (4) NEN offers activities related to option 2: Developing certification schemes Managing certification schemes (either own schemes or schemes from other parties) Maintaining registers (e.g. qualified persons, products, organizations) Schemes can either be under accreditation or not NEN is recognized as scheme manager by Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA) [Note: RvA will stop its activities concerning scheme managers and will focus on CABs] NEN does NOT certify 17

18 NEN s business model NEN is a private not-for-profit organization NEN revenues consist of: Participation fee in mirror committees, working groups and other types of standardization platforms [fee differ per body and may differentiate depending of size of organization] Sales of standards and related products Fees for training and events Funds from EC or NL agencies and/or from industry for research (e.g. Horizon 2020) and other (pre-)standardization activities (e.g. mandates, project management) Government funding for legal duties Remittance of certificate holders and associated CABs 18

33 ISO/TC 118/SC 1 Structure Three joint working groups with ISO/TC 67/SC 6: WG 1 Turbo compressors/expanders for petroleum, chemical and gas industry services WG 2 Reciprocating compressors for petroleum, chemical and gas industry services WG 3 Rotary type positive displacement compressors for petroleum, chemical and gas industry services 33

34 CEN/TC 12 Title and scope Title: Materials, equipment and offshore structures for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries Scope: Standardization of the materials, equipment and offshore structures used in the drilling, production, transport by pipelines and processing of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons within the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, excluding gas infrastructure from the input of gas into the on shore transmission network up to the inlet connection of gas appliances (covered by CEN/TC 234), installations and equipment for LNG (covered by CEN/TC 282) and those aspects of offshore structures covered by IMO requirements (ISO/TC 8). 34

35 CEN/TC 12 Mode of operation Standards are usually developed under Vienna Agreement in ISO/TC 67 working groups, with active participation of experts from at least 3 European countries. One of European experts is 'European Project Leader' (EPL) and checks that both environmental and regulatory issues are taken into account. After publication by ISO, standards are adopted in Europe as EN ISO (see also Global list of standards ). This development process is coherent with CEN/TC 12 s motto Global standards used locally worldwide 35

36 CEN/TC 12 Deliverables and work programme CEN/TC 12 standards portfolio consists of 157 published deliverables (excluding amendments, corrigenda and new standards under development): 142 EN ISO 9 CEN ISO/TS, CEN ISO/TR or CEN/TR 6 EN (mainly modified ISO) Work programme of CEN/TC 12 consists currently ( ) of 52 work items, either revisions or new projects => Some ISO/TC 67 work items need to be added to work programme of CEN/TC 12 36

37 CEN/TC 12 Standardization request (1) Directive 2013/30/EU on safety of offshore oil and gas operations and amending Directive 2004/35/EC: To ensure safety in design and continuous safe operations, the industry is required to follow the best practices defined in authoritative standards and guidance. [ ] Having due regard to the established priorities the preparation of new or improved standards and guidance should be commissioned without delay. At Union level, it is important that technical standards are complemented by a corresponding legal framework of product safety legislation and that such standards apply to all offshore installations in offshore waters of Member States, and not just non-mobile production installations. The Commission should therefore undertake further analysis of the product safety standards applicable to offshore oil and gas operations. 37

38 CEN/TC 12 Standardization request (2) Standardization request (mandate) developments: First draft mandate on standardisation in the field of equipment used in the offshore oil and gas industry issued in Dec 2013 => not acceptable for CEN/TC 12 Second (draft) mandate on harmonised standards for machinery used in the drilling and well intervention operations in the offshore oil and gas industry => rejected by CEN/BT in Nov 2014, based on CEN/TC 12 comments Third draft mandate shows no substantial change compared to second mandate that was rejected => CEN/TC 12 will advise to reject mandate and calls for dialogue with Commission 38

39 IEC/TC 18 Title and scope Title: Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units Scope: Standardization for electrical installations and equipment of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units, incorporating good practice and aligning as far as possible existing regulations and IEC publications 39

40 IEC/TC 18 Goals Standards will: chiefly concern factors promoting safety of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units; factors promoting safety of life. form a code of practical interpretation and amplification of requirements of International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea, a guide for future regulations may be prepared by Administrations, and a statement of practice for use by builders and appropriate organizations. foster interchangeability of parts and ease the selection and procurement of equipment, including cables for transport of energy, signals and data, by indicating, as appropriate, IEC standards of ratings, types, dimensions, materials, quality, test methods, etc., whether or not these are influenced by regulations, and will thus facilitate interchanges between purchaser and supplier. 40

60 CHALLENGES IN INVOLVING DUTCH STAKEHOLDERS 60

61 SWOT-analysis [2013] Strengths Good and strong network and good connections with other European and international committees Accessibility of expertise Representation of regulator/supervisor Influence on initial phase of new standards (both industry and government) Monitoring of and informing about trends Much information available / total overview Opportunities Making information more / easier accessible Involving PGS network (link nationalinternational) Calling attention to operational standards Developing of sector-specific standards for operations (management system standards) Cooperating with European regulator Weaknesses Bad' communication to suppliers / not able to get suppliers interested Limited representation of SME and civil society (in broader context) Influence on legislation Threats Availability of resources (time and money) Unfamiliarity with standards and standardization (also at level of top management) 61

62 Follow-up actions SWOT-analysis (1) Actions to engage more stakeholders in general: Booth at Offshore Energy (conference & exhibition) Network events on specific themes (e.g. offshore, LNG) Articles in magazines (e.g. NEN magazine, Offshore Vision) Dedicated actions to target groups: Seeking cooperation with sector organization (i.e. NOGEPA) Involving suppliers through sector organization (i.e. IRO) Interview with active supplier/sme about added value of participation in standardization Providing (guest) lectures about (oil and gas) standardization at relevant educations (e.g. technical universities) 62

63 Follow-up actions SWOT-analysis (2) Experiences: Events attract a significant number of participant => they would like to be kept informed, but are less interested to become a member / participate actively in standardization Possible leads at exhibitions more for NEN in general than for oil and gas Not always easy to convince parties about cooperation / participation Ideas to restructure organization of mirror committee with the intent to create added value for members 63

64 DUTCH GAS & OIL SECTOR 64

65 History of natural gas in The Netherlands 1948: first gas field drilled in Coevorden 1959: discovery of Groningen field => about 900 km 2 and first estimate of billion m 3 producible gas (one of the biggest gas fields of the world) 1961: first offshore drilling in North Sea 1973: decision of scaling back Groningen production and focussing on small fields => dozens of new fields have been developed Now: increased reduction of Groningen production due to earthquakes and continued small fields policy SOURCE: NOGEPA 65

66 Gas and oil production in The Netherlands Natural gas production: 70,0 billion m 3 42,3 billion m 3 Groningen field (onshore) 27,7 billion m 3 small fields (mainly offshore) Oil production: 1,81 million m 3 Key Green Red gas field or pipeline oil field or pipeline SOURCE: Annual review 2014: Natural resources and geothermal energy in the Netherlands 66

67 Key players in Dutch natural gas exploration & production (1) Oil and gas companies: NAM (joint venture Shell (50 %) and ExxonMobil (50 %)) [responsible for about 75 % of Dutch natural gas production] EBN (100 % state owned) [shareholder in gas and oil exploration, production, transportation and trade] Gasunie (100 % state owned) [main gas infrastructure] Other operators like Centrica, Dana, Engie, Hansa, ONE, Petrogas, TAQA, Total, Tulip Oil, Tullow, Wintershall 67

68 Key players in Dutch natural gas exploration & production (2) Products and service providers [not limitative]: Dredging like Boskalis, Van Oord Ships and FPSOs like Blue Water, Damen, IHC Marine operations like Allseas, Dockwise, Heerema, Jumbo Equipment like Ampelmann, Huisman, Mokveld, NOV Classification like Bureau Veritas, DNV GL, Lloyd s Register, Peterson Research like Deltares, Fugro, Marin, TNO 68

69 Key players in Dutch natural gas exploration & production (3) Sector organizations: NOGEPA Netherlands Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Association IRO The Association of Dutch Suppliers in the Oil and Gas Industry Government: Ministry of Economic Affairs [policy-maker] SodM State Supervision of Mines [regulator] Ministry of Finance [revenues] 69

70 Legal framework for natural gas exploration & production (1) Main legislation (also available in English): Mining Act Mining Decree Mining Regulation More legislation apply in the field of: the environment incl. noise, surface water occupational health and safety working hours transport and supply of gas management and use of water systems 70

71 Legal framework for natural gas exploration & production (2) More information about legislation and role of regulators in presentation by Willem van der Wal 71

72 Outlook Annual natural gas production of Groningen field much lower than in the past [in response to earthquakes] Changing from a natural gas exporter to an importer [already the case since this year] Stimulation of life-time extension and enhanced recovery of small fields (mainly offshore), also to maintain existing infrastructure (e.g. pipeline systems) Continuation of being a key player in gas sector in North-western Europe, also through LNG, biogas and underground gas storage 72

73 ACCELERATING NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES 73

74 Dutch approach for getting things done Cooperation between government, industry and civil society to make all kind of agreements: Energy Agreement Housing Arrangement Social Agreement (related to labour) Green Deals Safety Deals Agreements include targets, requirements to make due effort, instruments, and so on Making agreements can take much time, but normally saves time in overall process 74

75 National LNG Platform Green Deal Green Deal policy in the Netherlands: Agreements between central government and other parties (industry, NGOs, local government) aiming at fostering sustainable growth of the economy by removing barriers, stimulating cooperation or exploring funds Typical topics for a Green Deal are energy, water, climate, transport, mobility, food Green Deal Rhine and Wadden established in 2012 for a period of three years Parties involved working together in National LNG Platform 75

76 National LNG Platform Objectives Key objective to introduce LNG as a new, clean and silent fuel for road and marine transportation Objectives by end 2015 will not be fully achieved 76

77 National LNG Platform Members 77

78 National LNG Platform Task forces Implementation through six task forces: 1. Regulatory framework and safety => Removing restrictions in regulations and legislation for LNG use and distribution 2. Road transport => Eliminating barriers regarding the economic viability, market development, environmental impact and LNG infrastructure 3. Shipping => Removing barriers regarding economic feasibility, infrastructure and regulations 4. Strategic environmental management => Dialogue with NGOs and joint fact-finding on issues 5. Bio-LNG => Achieving increase in bio-lng production and use 6. International => Harmonization of standards EU and supporting development of Green Corridors in Europe 78

79 National LNG Platform Example of safety LNG Safety Program Reason was to increase knowledge on safety aspects related to LNG small-scale infrastructure Cooperation between industry, research community, government and emergency (first) responders Organization through Steering Committee (directions / decision-making) and Technical Experts Committee (defining, monitoring and evaluating research programme) Filling the knowledge gaps will provide input for regulations (e.g. external safety distances), (international) standards, and guidelines for permitting and emergency response Acknowledgment of LNG Safety Program through Safety Deal with central government 79

80 Translation to Cypriote case (1) Hydrocarbons are new market and potentially huge business opportunities (both direct and indirect) Development of market needs cooperation with all parties concerned => collective program with joint objectives endorsed by all parties concerned can accelerate business Meeting objectives can be achieved by dividing work in task forces for each identified aspect Standardization (and regulation) will be one of the task forces in which the Standards Advisory Committee can be integrated 80

81 Translation to Cypriote case (2) Program can be entitled: Cypriote Hydrocarbon Acceleration and Marketing Program 81
