12 Brief overview of Energy Policies -> Top priorities of Energy 2020 Open and competitive energy markets Energy infrastructure development Energy Efficiency and energy from renewable sources Research and Development External dimension of the EU energy market 12

13 Energy Roadmap scenarios 1 Business as usual (Common Reference Scenario) 1bis Current Policy Initiatives scenario 2 High Energy Efficiency 3 Diversified supply technologies 4 High Renewables 5 Delayed CCS 6 Low Nuclear 13

14 Key results: Renewables move centre stage but all fuels can contribute in the long-run Decarbonisation scenarios - fuel ranges (primary energy consumption in %) 75% % % 50% 25% 25% 0% 0% RES Gas Nuclear Oil Solid fuels RES Gas Nuclear Oil Solid fuels

16 On the road to by 2020 Current trend to 2020 Reduce greenhouse gas levels by 20% -20% Increase share of renewables to 20% Reduce energy consumption by 20% Current trend to % 100% Current trend to % 16

17 EU external energy policy: 4 priority areas.building up the external dimension of our internal energy market;.strengthening partnerships for secure, safe, sustainable and competitive energy;..improving access to sustainable energy for developing countries;.better promoting EU policies beyond its borders. and about 40 key follow-up actions EU ENERGY POLICY, FOCUSING ON THE PETROLEUM SECTOR 17

18 Offshore safety Oil&Gas -> EU s post Macondo agenda 2010.Reviews on laws, industry and regulator practice, dialogues.communication Facing the challenge of the safety of offshore oil and gas activities.energy ministers conclusions.european Parliament resolution 18

19 Good news looking at Europe Region Improved HSE statistics. Long without major disaster Best practices in EU jurisdictions. Containment technologies being developed 19

20 Main challenges.shift to frontier operations.ageing installations..structural changes in industry.fragmented regulation.access to/sharing of information.austerity vs regulators resources.compliance with rules (safety culture) 20

21 Planned action (1/2). Promote. Incentivize. Improve. Improve. International use of best practices/ state of the art technology» Throughout EU» Goal setting approach» Sharing information/lessons learnt, peer review compliance and prevention» Clear and robust liability regime Adequate controls, inspections» Public and peer pressure through transparency authorisation procedures» Demonstrate key elements of technical (incl environmental) and financial capacity to deal with eventual accidents emergency preparedness» Contingency planning (company, national, EU)» Transboundary information, consultation, safety management cooperation» G-20, capacity building etc» Barcelona Convention offshore protocol 21

22 Planned action (2/2). Environmental. Emergency. Health. Product Liability» Extend territorial coverage of ELD (Env Liab. Direct.) response» EMSA to offshore response» Stronger EU disaster response coordination and safety at work» Implement lessons from DWH and other relevant incidents» Converge implementation to best practice safety» Consider standardisation mandates and treatment of mobile offshore units 22

23 High latitudes, high stakes 23

24 Evolving interdependency - EU-Arctic oil.eu s import dependency in oil and gas to 94% and 83% by 2030 while decarbonisation. underway.russian export and technology dependency offshore high while PRC coming.norwegian hydrocarbons> EU total, more to Arctic.Iceland, Greenland exploring 24

25 EU approach to the Arctic.Arctic is an important region with a sensitive environment..authorisations for oil and gas exploration in the Arctic are a national competence and COM respects that..competent authorities and industry need to take account of the challenges that operations in extreme environments like the Arctic entail (E.g. access to emergency response, ice management)..» Challenges in containment and disaster response (also GoM report re Alaska) are real.eu draft law on safety of offshore oil and gas activities is based on a goal-setting regulatory approach which puts responsibility (and liability for damages) for safety of operations on industry, also being the beneficiary of risks taken..this risk based approach works equally well in the Arctic as around the equator therefore no special regime is needed (also, EU has no jurisdiction in the Arctic). 25

26 Proposed Regulation for Offshore Safety - State-of Play.Co-decision negotiations on COM proposal entering decisive phase in both Council and EP. Possible that common text agreed by end 2012; however, could also happen during the IE Presidency..Key are a) robust Competent Authorities, b) industry to cooperate on sharing lessons learnt and c) operating to EU level standards globally whenever possible..issues discussed concern» Nature of independent Competent Authority for safety and environmental regulation» Extent of delegated powers» Operations outside EU waters and public participation..choice of a Regulation as legal instrument derives from its direct applicability to industry and its immediate effect on all EU MS, some of whom have scant regulatory systems for their offshore sectors..by and large, MS ambitions for developing offshore sector beyond North Sea Black Sea, Mediterranean, and Atlantic margins - are growing rapidly. COM believes problem reported by a few MS concerning unwarranted damage to national regimes is overstated. 26

27 Concluding comments. Decarbonise yes but sustainable oil & gas needed for decades No room for complacency nor secrecy on HSE. Industry s main responsibility Public authorities to set objectives, control and. incentivise compliance EU to fill regulatory gaps, promote state-ofthe-art practice and add transparency 27
