Energy Enhancer receives the 2011 Gold Award from RoSPA

Northern Offshore is proud to announce that our jack up drilling rig Energy Enhancer has received the Gold Award for Occupational Health and Safety for 2011 from the United Kingdom’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (“RoSPA”). The Gold Award recognizes the crew of Energy Enhancer’s occupational health and safety performance, throughout 2010, assessed against the RoSPA judging criteria.

RoSPA is a U.K. charitable organization, formed in 1917, with the mission to save lives and reduce injuries, and the vision to lead the way towards accident prevention. RoSPA Safety Awards have been recognizing health and safety success for over 50 years. This key fixture in the U.K.’s health and safety calendar offers organizations a prime opportunity to prove their ongoing commitment to raising health and safety standards and to be a part of the longest running and most highly respected occupational safety awards program.

“This award is welcome recognition that our capable and experienced Energy Enhancer crew members are committed to the belief that an injury free offshore work place is truly achievable” said Allen Thain, Rig Manager Energy Enhancer, Northern Offshore UK Ltd. “I personally would like to thank all personnel that contributed in acheiving this award for thier commitment and dedication to safety awareness at work and for bringing such positive attention to the Energy Enhancer and Nothern Offshore.”

Gary Bauer, Senior VP Operations said "This Gold Award recognition validates that all of the Enhancer Team, above all its Rig Supervisors and Rig Crews, have made a personal choice to not accept the unacceptable, have planned this choice into their daily activities and have put it to work with outstanding results."

Northern Offshore will receive the award during a ceremony in September.

Exceptional visit to Energy Endeavour

"Just wanted to thank you and your crew for a well organized visit to the Endeavour. Personally I was impressed by the dedication to safety expressed by your crew members and also the upgrades which had been done since I worked on this rig in the early nineties.

Also our partners were impressed and have asked me to convey their thanks for the visit.

I have attached a letter from Shell for your information."

Kind Regards

Dear Niels,

I am writing to thank you and Rasmus for arranging the site visit to the Energy Endeavour for our technical and commercial teams yesterday.

Each of our visitors found the trip, time well spent, giving us a better understanding of DUC operations and the challenges faced by the Operator and the Contractor. We look forward to putting our improved understanding to work in support of the partnership.

Please pass this message of thanks on to James and Mark of Northern Offshore who presented a competent and professional image of thier organization.

On the evidence observed we are confident that Northern Offshore has the commitment and capability to make the incident free workplace a reality. You can rely on our continued support for any activity aimed at this goal.”

An incident free workplace is a sign of a well managed organization.

Yours Sincerely,

Nicola Gordon, Managing Director, Shell Oli- og Gasudvinding Danmark B.V. (Holland)
