Oil and Gas
Argo Media is part of the Argo Environmental Engineering Group, which has a 25 year track record in the oil & gas sector. This gives us a unique insight into the needs of the industry and the very special requirements to film offshore operations. From FPSOs to large platforms, we know the safety, operational and logistic issues involved and have a professional understanding of the processes taking place, the technology involved and the associated risks. Our video production personnel are fully trained to meet the UK Offshore Operators' Association requirements and hold the following qualifications:
-
BOSIET Safety Training Certification - helicopter escape, survival, firefighting & first aid
-
UKOAA Offshore Medical Certification
-
Miller Certificate in Ambulance Aid
Our camera equipment works from 8 volt bateries and has been chosen to be light weight for helicopter transit and has been inspected and approved to comply with:
- Portable Appliance Testing Electrical Safety (PAT)
- Certified for Release for offshore use by CAN, Aberdeen
- HS&E form PT001 for use in Non Hazardous Areas
We have considerable experience of producing offshore training video materials for a wide range of applications, including fire fighting for the Royal Navy and a number of major oil and gas companies. In 2007 we successfully completed a major video project to record the flare tip change on Piper Bravo for Talisman Energy by Vertech Offshore, a very demanding filming project that involved all aspects of planning, organisation and location production of a hazardous operation 200 miles offshore with helicopters.
