Thirty people from Saipem's suppliers in China participated in vocational training via Moody International with a focus on the importance of safe behaviour and Management System awareness. 

Ms. Federica Placidi, recently appointed Saipem China Procurement Manager, had this to say regarding Moody's involvement in this very successful initiative; "We would like to express our appreciation for the work you have done for the Safety & Self Protection Training Course.   We have been very impressed by the interest demonstrated by the vendors and the positive comments received by them.  Thank you too for all of your support for this first success within the Chinese Initiative for Sustainable Development."

Moody Nigeria - Pipe Threading
Inspection Training in France

Following the Nigerian local content law that was recently passed and unveiled by the Nigerian Minister of Petroleum, Moody International Nigeria has taken a significant step by investing in the training of six (6) Nigerian QA/QC Technical Specialists on OCTG activities with emphasis on threading inspection.  Training took place May 3-11, 2010 at the Vallourec & Mannesmann (VAM) mill in France. Moody International believes this investment in local personnel training is part of the contribution as a company to develop the local content manpower capacity to adequately serve the required need of QA/QC activities in new plants being set up in Nigeria for OCTG threading activities.

According to Mr. Jose Decoster of VAM, this Nigerian team was the first to be trained from Africa and shows Moody's strong commitment to adhering to the Nigerian local content law.

Pictured is the training team (from left to right): Wilfred Offor, Peter Otutu, Ibiso Kinigoma, Seye Shoneye (Moody Nigeria, Operations Manager) Jairus Jatau, Francois Penven (VAM training services) Olumide Ajala and Jose Decoster (VAM, Senior Quality Assurance Manager)

VALLOUREC & MANNESMANN TUBES is a world leader in the manufacture of hot rolled seamless steel tubes and specific tubular products for industrial applications. The choice of VAM FRANCE for the training of Moody's personnel was borne out of the fact that VAM is a major tubes producer and supplier for some of Moody's major clients. 

Moody International is confident that this training represents a major milestone in Nigeria local content capacity development and it will be appreciated by increased business opportunities to Moody from major international oil companies operating in Nigeria.  Niyi Ademuson (Managing Director, Moody International Nigeria) expresses his delight and appreciates support from the Moody International Group in bringing this training to reality.

National Safety Council (NSC) Partners with
Moody International Consulting & Training (MI C&T)
to Develop One-Of-A-Kind Behaviour Based
Defensive Driving Course  

Driving safely is a choice 24/7.  Organisations can make driving safely a priority, implementing policies to target safety goals; but experience shows policies alone don't change behaviours.  Individuals may know how to drive safely, but unfortunately a person's natural risk tolerance can get in the way of making correct decisions.

 
Pictured Left to Right:  Sergio Sanchez (MI C&T), Mikhail Guleykov (MI C&T), Michael LeBlanc (MI C&T), James Solomon (NSC - Director of DDC Program Development) 

Available for delivery in English, Spanish, Arabic and Russian, the goal of the one-day workshop Driving Safely On and Off the Job, co-produced and certified by the National Safety Council (outside of the United States) is to reduce vehicular incidents by helping individuals consciously choose to implement the NSC's Collision Prevention Formula:

  • Recognise the hazard
  • Understand the defense
  • Act correctly in time.

Specifically, the workshop will:

  • Expand drivers' ability to SEE hazards that might impact their safety.
  • Increase drivers' KNOWledge of defensive driving techniques they can use to avoid collisions.
  • Help drivers recognise how they can remind themselves and encourage others to continually DO the right thing.

The workshop is designed in a hands-on, "learn by doing" format to encourage active participation and involvement.  Several of the 15 projects incorporated throughout the workshop focus on generating each individual's personal commitment to utilising defensive driving techniques both on and off their job.  To reinforce the practical relevancy, MI C&T facilitators pay specific attention to ensuring participants clearly understand the purpose of each project and how it relates to their daily jobs.

Please contact your local Moody International office for more details about this very popular and important course.

Moody International's Mergers & Acquisitions Make the In-Service Division a Formidable Presence

Moody International's In-Service Division has experienced dramatic growth through the successful combination of acquisitions, organic growth and senior expert appointments.  This has created a significant sub-division of the company's Technical Inspection Services Business Unit.

Moody started its in-service inspection services with the acquisition of Schindler & Associates in March 2006, growing revenues tenfold in 3 years through Moody's further investment in people and service delivery.   A subsequent strategic review of clients' needs led Moody to highlight the in-service division as one to grow even more significantly by providing in-service inspection, asset integrity services and shutdown/turnaround, extending our range of services.

The acquisitions of PetroSpect & Pro-Inspect have been the most significant milestones in the recent dramatic growth of Moody's in-service division.  Both of these acquisitions gave Moody immediate presence in the plants of major clients who, although existing clients on capital expenditure projects, they had not yet benefitted from full Moody in-service division expertise in their ongoing plant operations.

These acquisitions are the result of Moody's M&A department targeting potential acquisitions across all company key strategic growth regions and products, and In-Service Inspection has been the key area of focus to date. 

The acquisition of PetroSpect was concluded in October 2009 and Moody gained a team of people with an outstanding industry reputation - including James Cesarini P.E. and Cindy Keithley, who was recently appointed to the Board of Directors of the Association of Plant Inspection Professionals (APIP).  Moody also gained new In-Service Inspection work for BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Frontier, and NuStar.

Moody International was then approached regarding Pro-Inspect as an acquisition opportunity and concluded the acquisition at the end of February 2010. Through this acquisition, Moody gained new in-service inspection work with clients such as Bayer, ConocoPhillips, LyondellBassell, Motiva (a Shell & Aramco JV), Shell, Total, and Valero, and also added another team with one of the best safety records and an exemplary industry reputation, through personnel such as Kelley Jones, Steve Wells, and Don Brou.

Moody International's In-Service division has highly qualified API inspectors present in over 40 refineries and chemical plants across the USA, and the company's experts provide consulting on Asset Integrity worldwide.    Moody's Asset Integrity Service has been further enhanced by the appointment of Rick Rockwood as Global Product Champion.

It was clear from clients Moody spoke with during the due diligence work on both acquisitions that this would provide significant cross-selling opportunities.   Traditional capital project clients can now also look for the same high quality inspection services in the operation of their assets, and the same clients at plant management levels can now source their vendor inspection needs for plant upgrades and equipment replacements from a truly global inspection provider.   Likewise, our consulting and training division can be engaged by plant management anywhere in the world to assist with their safety programmes.

Moody International Nigeria - Operating Success

For the past thirteen years, throughout what could be described as extremely trying circumstances (constant power and water outages, internet connectivity inadequacies, and continual transportation challenges) - all that have made it difficult for employees to perform their daily duties, Moody International Nigeria has swept these adverse conditions to emerge as a significant success story for The Moody Group. As well, security concerns always dominate as militant activities are rampant, especially in the Niger Delta where most of the oil exploration and production activities take place.  Under the leadership of Moody Nigeria Country Manager, Mr. Niyi Ademuson, he and his team of employees have developed a "can do" attitude, full of resilience and determination to succeed!

The major source of Moody Nigeria's work is from the Technical Staffing Services (TSS) Business Unit where client relationships are strong and the majors such as Mobil Producing Nigeria / Esso Nigeria (ExxonMobil), Chevron, Total / TUPNI, Brass LNG, Bechtel, OK LNG and NNPC have displayed their satisfaction through continued associations and contract renewals. In TSS, Moody Nigeria currently supplies over 200 contract staff (locals and expatriate) to various clients. 

Current efforts in the Technical Inspection Services (TIS) Business Unit include training and mentoring of local Nigerian inspectors.  As well, with assistance from the Moody UK and Moody France offices, the Nigerian operations are initiating an OCTG inspectors' training programme to be held in France. This initiative is in line with the Nigerian Government's drive for local content which encourages the fabrication of structures and specialist activities such as threading of imported pipes be performed locally using local expertise.  Moody Nigeria is also dedicated to training inspectors and continues to offer the American Welding Society (AWS) / Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) training in Lagos. Moody Nigeria has trained over 150 local inspectors, out of which over 110 inspectors have gained certification.

In commitment to the Moody International quality focus worldwide, Moody Nigeria has recently embarked on a extensive programme of internal auditing to ensure that the Moody Group Management Procedures and Policies are implemented and diligently followed.

Despite the continual challenges that Moody Nigeria has to deal with, the feedback from Nigerian clients has been very positive and complimentary on reporting time, quick response to urgent client requests, and inspectors' interpretation of and adherence to Code and Standard requirements. The Moody Nigeria team includes competent and resolute individuals with a common goal to be the Number One Quality Inspection and Training Service Provider in the region, utilising qualified and certified local personnel. 

Regional Director for Africa, Frederic Leforestier comments: "Congratulations to Niyi and everyone at Moody International Nigeria on all of your successes thus far.  With experience in overcoming difficult challenges you are ideally positioned to surpass future objectives."
