Hayleys Energy Services, Sri Lanka’s leading logistics provider for the oil and gas exploration sector has been significantly strengthened by a clutch of important international certifications covering quality and environment management systems, occupational health and safety and social accountability.

The company was recently awarded ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems, ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Systems, OHSAS 18001:2007 Health and Safety Management Systems and SA 8000:2008 Social Accountability Management Systems certification together with an integrated certificate covering all four accreditations from SGS Lanka (Pvt) Ltd.

These globally recognised best practice accreditations were awarded to Hayleys Energy Services after a series of stringent audits carried out by a team of lead auditors from SGS Lanka. The accreditations will provide a major boost to the company’s bid to further enhance its appeal among discerning international clients who insist on certified compliance in quality, environment, health & safety and accountability, the company said.

“Obtaining these accreditations is an important milestone in the evolution of Hayleys Energy Services into an international player in the provision of logistics services for oil and gas exploration projects,” said Chas Charles, the company’s CEO, and an oil and gas exploration veteran with 40 years of experience in the field. “These diverse certifications represent our commitment to excellence in all aspects of our operations.”

“The company developed expertise in providing support services for all stages of the exploration process — up to drilling and extraction of oil and gas — through its role as the sole logistics services provider for oil exploration in the Mannar basin,” he said. “By leveraging these capabilities in conjunction with the new accreditations, Hayleys Energy Services has the potential to achieve strong growth.”

In its role as the logistics services provider to the inaugural oil exploration project in Sri Lanka, Hayleys Energy Services was involved in an array of highly complex operations. The company also delivered many operational requirements for the 3D seismic survey, from fuels and bunkering to specialised equipment and even vegetables and drinking water for scientists and crew involved in the operation.

Hayleys Energy Services brings together the combined resources and synergies of Hayleys Advantis Limited, the transportation and logistics arm of the Hayleys Group, Sri Lanka’s pre-eminent multinational conglomerate and Edgo Merap Limited (UK), a pioneer in oilfield services with experience of over 50 years.
