DNV boosts consultancy services

RISK management provider DNV is expanding its consultancy services with new staff in Aberdeen.

The company has appointed Peter Boyle, right, as Aberdeen operations manager and John Morgan as UK business development leader for risk advisory services.

The company said the appointments would help it address key industry challenges such as enhancing safety, efficiency and performance.

Hari Vamadevan, UK regional manager, DNV GL, oil & gas, said: “Leaner operations following the oil price collapse has resulted in a reticence to invest in the North Sea in the last two years. But confidence is returning and there are opportunities. We have examined our service portfolio and have a number of new ideas to offer a cost conscious market.”

Mr Boyle said: “It has been a challenging period for the industry, which has led us to innovate our core services for the Aberdeen market.”

Mr Morgan added: “DNV GL has been working on numerous value-adding services such as risk-based inspection and combined operations planning.”
