cover, nor anyone apart from the customer and associated advertisers who would read a four page article at the back of one of these monstrosities. Oil, Gas & Shipping magazine will generally publish a readable 60 to 100 pages, because I want our customers to have their articles and advertisements read.
How do you reflect on the challenges of your early years? When I started the company with my wife Vanessa we had very little money, no backing from the banks and there was a worldwide recession going on! All we had was an idea to sell to our customers. Our plan was to build a solid readership based on quality editorial and we believed that advertising would follow. Our readership is now almost 110,000 and is producing great business for our clients and ourselves. We now feature the biggest players in the industry in our editorial coverage and these customers find that promoting themselves in our magazine is a cost effective alternative to printing their own brochures and distributing them themselves.
How do you plan to develop in the future? We have no ambition to become the world leader in our sector! We leave that to those with greater resources (and egos) than we have. We do want our magazine to be a voice for its customers, however, rather than preaching to them, and for it to continue to develop as a valuable marketing resource. We welcome suggestions and editorial contributions because we want to publish a magazine that people want to read and respond to. What was your motivation for starting We have recently added Martin Ashcroft to your own magazine? our editorial team to help us step up to the next I had been an employee of media companies for a level.

Simon Ward founded Worldwide Business Media in 2009 to produce the magazine Oil, Gas & Shipping. Here, he shares his value-for-money vision for serving customers.
What is your major objective for Oil, Gas & Shipping magazine?
Quite simple, really. To publish a magazine with a quality readership and quality content that promotes its customers by covering the subjects and issues that concern them.
What makes Oil, Gas & Shipping magazine different? My previous employers were committed to maximising the number of adverts in their magazines, to such an extent that issues containing 200 or even 300 pages were being published every month. These were very well designed, pleasing on the eye, and quite profitable, but did little for the benefit of their readers or clients. I don’t know anybody (apart from the proofreader) who has read a magazine of this size from cover to

Have electronic magazines replaced hard copy printed magazines? Definitely not! An electronic magazine is a great vehicle for sending out an instant promotion, but a printed magazine can be used at exhibitions and faceto-face meetings with greater effect than a tiny image on a tablet, mobile or laptop. Companies that produce only electronic magazines still charge hard copy print rates for advertising, despite their online magazines being cheaper to produce. We take a belt-and-braces approach to publishing by producing a printed hard copy and an emailed electronic copy of our magazines, so our customers can benefit from the best of both worlds.

A PARTNER IN PIONEERING SUBSEA TECHNOLOGY Subsea 7 builds on its track record in the harshest offshore environments
depth of expertise Investing in technology

In the offshore energy industry, Subsea 7 is the leading global contractor in seabed-to-surface engineering, construction, inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) and other services. In recent years, this subsea market has entered an era of increasing challenge, with reservoirs at greater depths and in more hostile environments. The company has responded by developing a wide and versatile range of market-driven, enabling technologies and by extending its technical expertise. “Many of the large subsea developments in recent years are either marginal or extremely technically challenging, and probably wouldn’t have been attempted a decade ago,” says Øyvind Mikaelsen, Subsea 7 Senior Vice President, North Sea and Canada. “Today, Subsea 7 is much more than an installer of subsea infrastructure – we design pipeline systems for clients, develop technologies to support flow assurance in hostile conditions, and invest in world-class high-performance vessels which enable the execution of large, complex projects even in extremely deep waters.” The catalyst for this accelerated commitment to technology was the successful combination between two complementary predecessor companies, Acergy S.A. and Subsea 7 Inc. in 2011. “The 2011 merger delivered much more than enhanced volume, capacity and geographical range,” says Steve Wisely, Subsea 7 Executive Vice President Commercial. “It also gave us the widest range of technologies in key sectors in the subsea market, including pipeline riser systems, pipelay techniques, pipeline Bundles, Life-of-Field services and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). “As a result, the technologies we use are independent and fit for purpose. We are not committed to using in-house hardware – we meet the challenge of delivering each complex subsea project through selecting the most effective technical solution.”
SUBSEA 7
Subsea 7 operates in every major offshore region worldwide, including the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, Brazil’s pre-salt fields, West of Shetland, Western Australia and, most recently, the Norwegian Sea. Well established for decades in the Norwegian offshore market, and listed on the Oslo Børs, Subsea 7 is focused on playing a leading role in delivering technology-rich subsea projects in Norwegian waters. Safety remains the number one priority in all Subsea 7’s operations, and powerful hazard identification, risk assessment and safety management processes all contribute to the highest levels of safety performance. In Norway, Subsea 7 has had no Lost Time Incidents in over a year during more than 2,000 vessel days and 12 current projects.
Subsea 7 is certainly well placed to meet this requirement. The company has extensive global project experience in every element of subsea construction and engineering, from conceptual design through to installation and commissioning.
“Many of our areas of technological expertise are not what clients expect from an ‘installer’; flow assurance, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), concept analysis, structural riser design, the development of Autonomous Inspection Vehicles and other cutting-edge areas.”
“We have executed a huge number and diversity of subsea projects on a worldwide basis, and we harness all this technological expertise and know-how into safe, reliable delivery,” says Sunde.
As a result of this experience, the company is an acknowledged leader in key sectors of the subsea market, including Subsea Umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SURF) and Life-of-Field (LOF).

The subsea market Subsea installation is already a major growth sector of the oil and gas market, as operators explore technological alternatives to conventional offshore drilling and platform production, most notably for deepwater field developments. Industry analysts forecast that subsea production will match or exceed conventional platform production in the next 15 years, with the subsea processing market in particular estimated to grow from its current annual value of $500 million to a projected $8 billion by 2020. As subsea infrastructure grows in size and complexity to meet the demands of higher pressure deepwater installation, an increasing number of operators are demonstrating a preference for the packaged EPIC (Engineering, Procurement, Installation and Commissioning) or EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) contract models, which only a number of large top-tier contractors are able to deliver. “Innovative subsea technologies and large EPIC/EPCI contracts represent the future, but cost and reliability remain the two principal drivers in this industry,” says Thomas Sunde, Subsea 7 Vice President Technology. “Operators are prepared to give increased installation responsibilities to their contractors – but they want confidence in the contractors’ track record.”
