ISP reporting guidelines
Paul Mosvold (left), President and COO of Scandrill, received the 2022 IADC Con-
tractor of the Year award from Joe Rovig, President, Rig Technologies/Aftermar-
ket Group at NOV, at the IADC Annual General Meeting on 4 November.

Paul Mosvold named 2022 IADC Contractor of the Year
Paul Mosvold, President and COO
of Scandrill, was named 2022 IADC
Contractor of the Year in November. The
annual award, which was established
in 1988 to recognize an individual drill-
ing contractor’s outstanding lifetime
achievement in technical innovation,
safety and economic efficiency within
the drilling industry, is the only industry
award reserved exclusively for drilling
contractors. A member of IADC’s Executive
Committee and North America Onshore
Advisory Panel, Mr Mosvold was appoint-
ed to his current position at Scandrill in
2014. He has spent much of his profes-
sional career with the company, starting
in 1982 when he worked as a roustabout
and roughneck on a Scandrill barge rig.

Following graduation from Houston
Baptist University in 1988, Mr Mosvold
worked primarily in shipping, includ-
ing a stint as Operations Manager at
Palmer Navigation, an independent ship-
ping company, where he traveled exten-
sively in the Middle East, India and South
America. He returned to Scandrill in 1997
as Marketing Manager and later became
VP of Health, Safety and Environment
before taking over in his current role.

IADC has updated its Incident Statics
Program (ISP) reporting guidelines in its
entirety for the first time in 12 years. The
revised guidelines are now available as an
evergreen document for public access on
IADC’s website.

The revisions were made by IADC’s ISP
Subcommittee, which operates under the
Health, Safety, Environment & Training
(HSET) Committee. The group focused pri-
marily on updating outdated links to con-
tact various regulatory agencies, such as
the US Food and Drug Administration, as
well as incorporating answers to frequent-
ly asked questions into the document.

Additionally, an online question submis-
sion form was added for users to submit
inquiries about the ISP reporting guide-
lines; a link can be found at iadc.org/isp.

These revisions were the first step in a
wider-scope project to update the entire
ISP system. The ISP Subcommittee is now
working to update the system with an
online portal that will allow real-time
access to reports and data. Work on the
online portal began in January and is
expected to continue through late summer
2023. Scan me to access the
