History Dr. Oystein Berg, was invited by CCOP/ASCOPE in March 1984 to lecture on R&D in Offshore Safety at a seminar arranged at Pertamina in Jakarta. During this seminar he was asked by Mr. Warga Dalem, then Secretary-in-Charge of ASCOPE, if he could assist ASCOPE in arranging courses and seminars on Offshore Safety and Environment. Dr. Berg was at the time Director of Marine Technology at the Safety Division of the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. This also became the start of the cooperation between ASCOPE and CCOP through the activities arranged by Dr. Berg. Numerous activities were conducted together until Petrad - International Programme for Petroleum Management and Administration was established on 1 January, 1989. Petrad is a Norwegian Government Foundation established by Norad - Norwegian International Agency for Development Cooperation and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate to coordinate and facilitate sharing of knowledge and experience within the Petroleum Sector. This is done through tailor- made courses, seminars and projects in cooperation with Government Institutions and National Oil Companies in developing and industrializing countries. A total of nearly 14500 managers and experts from 103 countries have participated in the Petrad programs so far. Experts and lecturers for the various activities come mainly from the Norwegian Petroleum Authorities, Norwegian and International Petroleum Industry, Universities and R&D Institutions. However, a large number of international lecturers have also made their contributions. Petrad draws each year on the expertise of approximately 200 lecturers from more than 150 government agencies, companies and organisations Petrad has conducted a total of 188 courses and seminars together with ASCOPE and CCOP Member Countries with a total of approximately 8000 participants as of August 2010. Petrad has in addition had 189 participants from the region attending the 8-week courses held in Stavanger, Norway, every year since 1991. Most of these participants have received scholarships worth approximately USD 25.000 each. These scholarships have been made available through Norad and the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. Petrad also arranged EPF/94 - Exploration Promotion Forum in conjunction with the World Petroleum Congress in Stavanger, Norway, in June 1994. This was a great success. Petrad sponsored on this occasion 26 experts from 6 ASCOPE and CCOP Members. Petrad together with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate also assisted ASCOPE/CCOP with the arrangement of another EPF in August 2002 in conjunction with ONS - Offshore Northern Seas Exhibition and Conference. The Official Delegation consisted of 25 persons. In addition there were another 25 representatives from ASCOPE/CCOP Members who participated in the ONS-EPF. CCOP Cooperating Organization Report: PETRAD 1
Petrad has in all the years since the cooperation with ASCOPE and CCOP started had a large number of requests for tailor-made courses and seminars. Petrad has with very limited financial support from the Norwegian Government (Ministry of Petroleum and Energy Funding) tried its best to keep up the cooperation with CCOP and ASCOPE and its Members. This has been possible because many of the speakers used by Petrad who come from Norwegian Petroleum Authorities and Petroleum Industry, have been willing to assist on courses and seminars without any charge for time and have in very many cases also covered their own costs for travel and accommodation.. All logistics and practical administration for the Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia is done by the CCOP Technical Secretariate in Bangkok in cooperation with the host organization. 2.

Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future activities It should be noted that all Petrad CCOP/ASCOPE Workshops and Seminars are tailor-made on request only. This means that the Members of CCOP and ASCOPE must forward their requests for seminars either through the CCOP and ASCOPE Secretariats or directly to Petrad. The workshops and seminars are conducted on a cost sharing basis where Petrad takes care of the expenses for the speakers from Norway and own administration whilst the local host takes care of the expenses for the venue and own administration. Participants cover their own cost. There is no seminar fee. The Members of CCOP and ASCOPE are therefore requested to propose new topics for courses and seminars for 2011. 4. Reports/publications of Petrad activities for dissemination to CCOP and ASCOPE Members. All reports from previous Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia are available through the CCOP Technical Secretariat in Bangkok. 5.
