Meet the HPEO

The Newfoundland and Labrador offshore labour relations regime is unique in that multiple employers may be covered by the same collective agreement.  On Hibernia, we have an employer’s organization that consists of 13 employers.

The Hibernia Platform Employers’ Organization (HPEO) consists of employers that provide services ranging from production and drilling operations to laboratory testing and catering services.  For the purposes of HPEO administration, the employers are structured into one of three platform sectors, according to the sector they support.  The three platform sectors are as follows: 1) production and modifications, 2) drilling and subsurface, and 3) platform services.  Each employer has an HPEO onshore representative that supports labour relations on Hibernia.

 Below is an overview of each HPEO employer, by sector.
