“…Poundsterling atau sekitar 3 Triliun Rupiah dan menewaskan 167 orang karyawannya termasuk diantaranya 2 orang yang merupakan awak kapal penyelamat menggambarkan begitu tingginya risiko yang dapat terjadi pada sektor industri migas (Reid, 2020). Padahal Piper Alpha begitu penting bagi pasukan stok migas Eropa karena penyumbang 10% dari produksi minyak dan gas laut utara (Macleod & Richardson, 2018).…”

The increasingly fierce business competition in the current era of globalization, also the high risk that can be caused by the operational activities of companies engaged in oil and gas both to internal and external parties, plus the social problems that can arise from the operational activities of oil and gas companies due to public dissatisfaction have encouraged companies to has a valuable competitive advantage and solves such complex problems, including for Sub holding of Pertamina Hulu Energy regional 1 which is located on Sumatera Island which is famous for being rich in oil and gas, but in reality the poverty rate of the population around the company's operational activities is still very high. For this reason, this research was carried out using GCG and CSR variables as predictors of competitive advantage, where researchers conducted instructions on the variables through the dimensions of each latent variable that would be tested into the research model. The research was conducted for 9 months starting from January to September 2022, using a quantitative approach, survey method and the analysis method using structural equation model (SEM) PLS. The number of indicators used in this study were 32 indicators. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling of 160 respondents to people and community around the company's operational activities. The results show that 32 indicators used in the model have good validity and reliability. The goodness of fit results from the model built have a good predictive relevance with coefficient of determination for economic dimension is 63.3%, while the environmental dimension is 72.3%, the social dimension is 62.9%, and competitive advantage is 81.7 %. The results of the Q2 and GoF index show the model has a high level of model fitness. The results of the fifteen hypotheses proposed in this study are accepted, show the importance of managing the GCG and CSR dimensions to increase competitive advantage of the company

“…The potential for fire or explosion on any offshore platforms can be considered one of the most dangerous scenarios [33], and for this reason, any potential robot that has to operate in this area, would need to adhere to the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU in the European Union, the DSEAR in Britain or obtain IECEx certification for outside the EU and USA regions. A method of mitigating the danger of electronic ignition is to remove the electronics and replace them with an integrated fluidic logic circuit [34].…”

“…Less than 2 days later, on April 22, the whole world watched on TV as the Deepwater Horizon sank in 5000 ft of water. 2 For the global offshore oil and gas industry, this was a true failure of imagination: though initially characterized as a Black Swan event, as multiple investigations unfolded, it became clear that the disaster had the same ingredients as earlier ones, such as Piper Alpha 45,46 and Ocean Ranger. 47 The well flowed uncontrollably into the Gulf of Mexico for 87 days, until efforts to cap it temporarily finally succeeded on July 15th, 2010.…”

It is common for accident reports and the analysis of large-scale disasters, such as the Deepwater Horizon blowout, to point to communication failures. This narrow explanation implicitly assumes that accidents could be prevented if employees spoke up about safety. In contrast, the first author of this paper, whose professional experience is introduced in this Commentary to provide context, has frequently observed that there are, in fact, many cases when employees speak up but are not listened to. These patterns of communication (or lack thereof) occur at the intersection of personal, leadership, and organizational factors, which jointly affect how safety issues are recognized, communicated, and addressed. As such, communication problems are at "the tip of the iceberg" of safety problems, not at their root. In this paper, we review research on high-reliability organizations (HROs) with excellent safety records to identify their communication patterns and practices and how they contribute to the ability to enact five principles of HROs: preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify, deference to expertise, commitment to resilience, and sensitivity to operations. We then apply this lens to investigate the Deepwater Horizon disaster, based on court documents, expert reports, and personal interviews. Specifically, we investigate how the communication patterns between the onshore experts and the offshore crews compared to the recommendations of HRO theory and how existing discrepancies might help explain the accident. We found that many employees were aware of safety issues and communicated concerns openly, but there was little organizational response to the issues they raised. This failure to listen was largely owed to factors that were not directly related to communication, such as time pressure and lack of resources, and a culture that valued a "can do attitude" and getting things done so much that it got in the way of sensitivity to operations, expert-based guidance, and communication about problems. Moreover, the challenges of the project and its aggressive timeline created an extreme, almost toxic, commitment to resilience. Based on these findings, we discuss recommendations for improving safety in offshore oil and gas production.
