Corporate Stewardship and Best Practices in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Development Sample Clauses

Corporate Stewardship and Best Practices in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Development. Purpose: This workshop examined the role of corporate stewardship in the application of best management practices, and what are the pro’s and con’s for the oil and gas industry to go beyond the bottom line minimum standards in the application of voluntary practices vs. regulatory requirements. This workshop also explored species specific measures (e.g. caribou), activity specific measures (e.g. seismic and pipelines), and cooperative arrangements between competing resources users. Presentations: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx — Environmental Regulatory Coordinator, Devon Canada Xxxxx XxxxxxxxxBest Practices Initiative Project Manager, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society Xxxx Xxxx — Environmental Advisor, Shell Canada Xxxx Xxxxxxx — Boreal Caribou Committee Scientist Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx — Integrated Resource Management Coordinator, Oil and Gas Management Branch, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Government of Yukon Workshop Summary: We identified a need for collaboration between resource managers and resource users and across political and jurisdiction borders. Many lessons have already been learned across a variety of borders and these lessons include many examples of successes and failures. Let’s not ‘re-invent the wheel’. ➢ Good stewardship does not occur by accident; it requires long-term commitment by industries, governments, academia and communities. ➢ Voluntary practices should be part of good project planning. ➢ The benefits of voluntary actions include flexibility to determine the best solutions. ➢ Voluntary practices involve reasonable people making reasonable decisions, but they should not necessarily be precedent-setting as unique problems require unique solutions. ➢ Development of best management practices using any model requires stakeholder buy-in at all levels.
