To support the forum, a survey was developed to collect compliance benchmarking input from companies with Exploration and Production (E&P) operations. This survey will provide valuable information as to how these operations successfully execute compliance management as well as strategies used to address underlining challenges that may face the industry (i.e., changing regulatory environment, management of change, internal communication, limited resources, etc.).

A copy of the survey will be posted on the Safety & Environment Study Group site on www.spegcs.org in July 2009. Please note that this survey is anonymous; individual company names are optional. No company names will be recorded, tracked or disclosed unless specifically requested by the individual completing the survey.

The deadline for completing the compliance survey is May 20, 2009 for inclusion in the forum.  We greatly appreciate the time you take to provide a response to the survey and share your input and perspective. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any of the forum panelists.
