SLB has a high focus on human rights and has implemented a Human Rights Due Diligence Policy based on the Transparency Act.

SLB has performed risk assessment on existing suppliers, and the ones posing the highest risk are prioritized for follow-up actions and verifications. All Norwegian suppliers are considered non-critical.

There is also a high focus on personnel and treating them fair. Good arrangements regarding vacation, training, and other welfare schemes.

The Review Team wants SLB to send their KPIs on Human rights, as these were hard to show under the review due to some video sharing issues.

We had some trouble with the meeting room and sharing presentation in the meeting. We ended up on PC sharing, but getting the presentation would be beneficial.

SLB to send presentation.

Presentation received 05.05.23.

For projects SLB has developed a Drill plan where a GHG calculator is implemented. This tool is now being tested and used for Neptune. This tool gives an overview of a well’s CO2 footprint, so the engineers see the impact of their choices when designing wells.

The Review Team/Operators want a presentation of the tool.

24.05.23: Cerina Augdal has informed Johnny Bjerkås – Digital Operations Sol. BDM, who is in charge of drill plan implementation. So after the summer vacation we can find a date together.
29.08.23: Drill Plan presented by Jonny Bjerkås and Bjarte Odin Kvamme to Sanne Risbakk and Anniken Meisler. This is more a planning tool for engineers, rather than a ESG/CO2e tool. Such a tool exists – is under development, but it is for internal SLB use only.
04.10.23: WE have for future wells asked for CO2 budget – maybe we can get something for some 2024 wells (fingers crossed). Will meet with a person from SLB central team to discuss this matter/our needs and expectations in November.

SLB is subject to the Transparency Act. A requirement is that the enterprise shall publish an account of the due diligence assessments. Reporting according to
requirements is due within 30th June every year (§ 5).

The report must describe the company’s efforts to map the risk of human rights violations and take measures to prevent such violations from occurring.
The report shall be easily accessible.

SLB has determined that this information shall be a part of their financial report for their first annual report on this topic.

SLB to send a link to the Financial report when it is published

24.05.23: Cerina Augdal will get back to us when financial statement is made public.

SLB stated that new tenders are often similar to old ones. SLB suggested that it is better and less time consuming to copy/paste on tenders, instead of retendering. SLB propose WE/Operators to be more open for suggestions and new solutions in tenders. SLB says they are ready to change.

Note: The Review Team informed regarding PSA’s interpretation of the IOGP 476 on competence (well control certification level 2). This may come in as a requirement for all personnel travelling offshore. This may then come as a requirement in new tenders.

WE to look into this and see if it is possible to include this, or make the tender process easier next time.

24.05.23: Cerina Augdal has notified Jeffrey Samuelsen – SLB HSE Manager, about interpretation of IOGP 476.

RfQ process Autumn 2024: IOGP 746 is now part of the RfQ process where it is required that SLB shall be compliant.
