Health, Safety and the Environment

Our approach

At Ithaca Energy, Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) performance is our highest priority, and we remain committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all employees, contractors and other personnel working for us.

Throughout all our operations, we encourage a positive and robust safety culture; ensuring that health and safety standards are not compromised to meet commercial objectives. We achieve this by implementing our Operational Excellence Management System which puts into action our value of protecting people and the environment and helps us achieve our vision to be the highest performing independent North Sea oil and gas company, focused on growing value, delivering safer, ever cleaner, sustainable low-cost production for the long-term benefit of our stakeholders.

Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence (OE) systematically manages workforce safety and health, process safety, reliability and integrity, environment, efficiency, security and stakeholders in order to meet our OE objectives.

- Eliminate fatalities, serious injuries and illnesses

- Eliminate high-consequence process safety incidents and operate with industry-leading reliability

- Assess and manage significant environmental risks

- Use energy and resources efficiently

- Prevent high-consequence security and cybersecurity incidents

- Address OE business risks through stakeholder engagement and issues management

Looking ahead

In 2025, Ithaca Energy will continue to seek opportunities to deliver improvements in our HSE performance. Key focus areas include; supporting our frontline regarding our safety leadership expectations and human performance; continuing to improve our control of work processes; delivering our Lines of Defence plans for HSE and Technical Authority Auditing; and continuing to embed improvements including immersing Process Safety Fundamentals, process safety KPIs and the use of the Barrier Model into our operations.

Emergency Response

At Ithaca Energy, we aim to ensure incident free operations. We recognise, however, that where incidents do occur, effective and robust response must be provided. We therefore ensure that all relevant personnel are trained and competent in emergency response, emergency response plans are in place, and that these plans are frequently and regularly exercised to demonstrate and improve our emergency management preparedness.
