Jim joined IPIECA in 2017 as Technical Director, Climate and Energy, after nearly 40 years in the oil and gas industry. He graduated in Chemistry from Oxford University and spent the first part of his career in various technology roles. During that time he worked in the UK, France and the USA and led global teams developing new fuels and lubricants and providing support to refining and marketing. More recently, he worked on environmental and safety for the upstream business functions with a focus on policy development.
Understanding current activity and capacity in clean technology research, development, and innovation in Canada’s Offshore Oil and Gas Industry
Research that will compile and thematically represent the research, development, and innovation capacity of Canada’s offshore oil and gas industry as it relates to clean technology. This will include an identification of areas of strength or emerging strength in the Atlantic region (e.g. by specific subject matter and/or collective capabilities) that can be leveraged to drive clean growth within the industry. This research was completed by Hatch Ltd.
Identifying regulatory and support ecosystem initiatives from leading jurisdictions supporting clean technology innovation in the offshore oil and gas industry
This work will help stakeholders gain an understanding of what deliberate interventions related to clean tech were made (by leading global jurisdictions) to foster innovation, attract investment, diversify the supply chain, and enhance long-term environmental performance within the industry. This will be compared to the regulatory and innovation support ecosystem in Atlantic Canada, and a series of recommendations will be made to drive and/or enable clean growth within the local industry. This research was completed by Caron Hawco, Dr. Tom Cooper, and Rystad Energy.
Delineating emerging environmental requirements and expectations in the offshore oil and gas supply chain
Understanding the related emerging requirements and expectations for supply chain participants will help ensure the competitiveness of firms in Atlantic Canada – or help local firms gain a competitive advantage. This is important from both the perspective of firms maintaining their market share in domestic oil and gas supply chains, and for firms engaging internationally. This research was completed by Stantec.
