Introducing the Council - Issuu

▤ Summary

It gives us a cohesive ability to fight for the things we believe in.” While many companies are fierce competitors in the marketplace, Larson and Wathen agreed it’s necessary for the sector to work cooperatively on issues of common concern to improve and elevate the industry. It’s important for us to make sure we’re all successful in that regard.” The co-chairs see several advantages from the merger, including expanded geographical reach and complementary areas of expertise — PESA’s advocacy, workforce development and work on energy transition, ESG, and diversity and inclusion marry well with AESC’s focus on health, safety and strong relationships with regulatory agencies. “It’s the result of diligent effort from companies across the industry and our alliance with OSHA, where we invite them to our rigs so they can see operations and provide feedback before issues become a problem.” “PESA’s government affairs team had significant Washington influence and that carries over to the Council,” Larson said. When it comes to ESG and sustainability, even for smaller companies, this isn’t a time to sit on the sidelines but to be proactive.” For Larson, it’s also about making the industry a more attractive career destination for the kinds of talented young people needed for the ongoing evolution. It was a huge benefit they could provide to their teams during an incredibly difficult time for the industry.” Wathen reflected on the future and her hopes for the Council’s leadership and advocacy.
