NOGEPA

The Netherlands Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Association (NOGEPA) is the trade association for companies engaged in the exploration and production of oil and gas in the Dutch North Sea and the mainland. It represents the interests of these oil and gas companies, focused on safe and responsible extraction of fossil energy.

In 2022, NOGEPA officially merged into Element NL. Element NL is the broader industry organization representing the interests of the entire Dutch mining sector. Together they focus on strengthening cooperation within the sector in order to better respond to changes in the energy sector, such as energy transition and the increasing need for sustainable materials.

NOGEPA Offshore trainings are specially developed for people working on oil and gas installations in the North Sea. These trainings ensure that personnel are well prepared for the specific safety, emergency and work situations that can occur at sea. They are mandatory for many positions and contribute to working safely and responsibly at offshore locations in the Dutch part of the North Sea.

What is a NOGEPA certificate?

NOGEPA stands for Netherlands Oil and Gas Exploitation and Production Association. NOGEPA represents the interests of these companies and wants to contribute to a fully sustainable energy supply in 2050. The goal of NOGEPA is to extract oil and gas from the Dutch seabed in a safe and efficient manner with respect for the environment. During a NOGEPA training course students working in the oil and gas industry learn all kinds of skills to do their job as safely and well as possible.

Who should attend a NOGEPA training course?

Working in the offshore industry is not entirely risk-free. Because the work is done at open sea, there are many dangers lurking about. That is why a thorough medical and safety training can be of vital importance. Anyone working at sea must be able to save themselves and colleagues in emergency situations because it can take longer for the emergency services to arrive than when working onshore. Persons working offshore in the North Sea area must follow a NOGEPA training course. NOGEPA checks if training centres meet the correct requirements and if this is the case, NOGEPA certificates may be issued. DELTA Safety Training is NOGEPA certified, which means that all our students can follow a NOGEPA training with us.
