Efficient Oil Sector Compliance Solutions

Let’s be honest — compliance in the oil and gas sector can be a massive time suck. And if you’re a small or medium-sized business, it often falls into the “we’ll deal with it later” basket… until it becomes a problem.

I’m Ben, and I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve spent over 15 years in oil and gas, from boots-on-the-ground operations to senior leadership, plus seven years at sea as a marine tech in the RAN. I’ve seen it all — the good systems, the total messes, and the kind of “compliance programs” that seem designed to confuse rather than protect.

That’s exactly why I started Helm.

Real Support That Makes Sense

At Helm, I help businesses make sense of compliance — without overcomplicating it or blowing the budget. Whether it’s a SWIMS for pulling an engine out of a boat or managing documentation across a multi-site shutdown, I build solutions that actually work for the people using them.

No fluff. No fluff-filled “frameworks”. Just straight-up systems that:

• Get you compliant

• Save time

• Reduce internal waste

• Keep your team safe

• And improve your bottom line

Why So Many Businesses Waste Money on Compliance

Here’s the trap I see over and over again:

Businesses either:

1. Throw it to someone internally who’s already stretched, which ends up costing way more in time and confusion than it should.

2. Bring in an overpriced consultant who copies and pastes generic documents that don’t fit your operation.

The end result? You’re not actually any safer, and you’ve spent a truckload.

There’s a Better Way

I can help you achieve the same compliance outcome for up to 50% less than what it’s costing you internally — freeing your team up to focus on what actually moves the needle. And because I’ve walked the walk, I build systems that work in the real world — not just in a boardroom.

I’ve Lived This Life

From refitting my own sailing catamaran to helping local marine businesses on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve always been hands-on. I’ve run commissioning in the Navy and in the oil & gas industry. I’ve led shutdowns, written SWIMS, trained teams, and built systems that scale.

I care about getting it right — not about padding an invoice.

Let’s Keep It Simple

If you’re sick of compliance that’s either too hard or too expensive, let’s have a chat. I’ll show you how we can tighten things up without wasting your time or money.
