Built for the offshore industry

ChemCenter is a specialised chemical management software platform developed specifically for the offshore oil and gas industry. Built in close collaboration with operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, it helps operators manage chemicals safely, consistently and in compliance with complex regulatory requirements across assets, regions and jurisdictions.

ChemCenter establishes one governed source of truth for chemical information, replacing fragmented systems and manual processes with consistent workflows and complete traceability across the organisation.

Designed for global operations

As offshore operations expand across regions and jurisdictions, chemical management becomes increasingly difficult. ChemCenter is designed to handle this complexity by supporting multiple regulatory frameworks, organisation-specific workflows and enterprise governance within a single platform. The result is consistent chemical management, regardless of where operations take place.

In current customer implementations, ChemCenter supports regulatory frameworks including REACH, CLP, HOCNF, OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom), UK REACH and Brazil's ABNT NBR 14725, with the flexibility to support organisation-specific requirements and additional jurisdictions.

Configured around your organisation

ChemCenter is more than a SDS database or a traditional chemical management system. The platform combines configurable workflows with automation and enterprise governance to support the way each organisation operates.

Every operator has established ways of working, different approval structures and organisation-specific requirements. Rather than forcing organisations to adapt to predefined processes, ChemCenter is configured to reflect each customer's governance model, terminology, approval workflows, risk assessment methodology and integration landscape.

This flexibility also enables organisations to align chemical management with their HSE management system, including processes established in accordance with ISO 45001.

The result is a platform that fits the organisation, not the other way around, allowing organisations to standardise chemical management while preserving the processes that make sense for their operations without compromising traceability, audit readiness or regulatory compliance.

Automation that strengthens HSE, compliance and control

ChemCenter automates many of the tasks that traditionally require specialist expertise, ensuring chemical management is both consistent and auditable:

• safety data sheets are interpreted automatically
• hazard classifications are derived from regulatory frameworks
• approval workflows are driven by the chemical's properties
• existing risk assessments and substitution assessments are reused wherever appropriate

By embedding regulatory requirements and company procedures directly into the platform, ChemCenter helps ensure that chemicals are assessed consistently, the correct controls are applied before use, and decisions are fully documented. This reduces the risk of human error, supports safer working environments, strengthens regulatory compliance and provides complete traceability for audits and inspections.

At the same time, automation reduces repetitive administrative work, allowing HSE specialists to spend more time managing risk and supporting safe operations.

Selected by leading offshore operators

ChemCenter is currently being implemented by Equinor, Vår Energi and OKEA. While each project has different objectives and requirements, they share a common ambition: replacing fragmented systems and manual processes with a configurable platform for governed chemical management.
