2020 Safety Awards

“This year has been particularly tough and challenging in our industry with the low price of oil and the ongoing global pandemic which resulted in our annual IADC Safety Awards evening being postponed until next year. Despite this, it was important for the IADC North Sea Chapter to recognise the safety commitment by all our members in particular the Chairman’s Special Award. I’d like to thank Matthew our Chapter Chairman for his virtual presentation, a first for the chapter and hopefully the last, and presenting the awards to the Drilling Contractors in the various categories, the two Associate Members and to our Chairman’s Special Award winner this year, congratulations and a great achievement, thanks.”
– Stuart Clow, IADC
