Winds of change for the North Sea

Winds of change for the North Sea

Change has swept through our industry in 2022. At the start of the year, we re-branded to reflect our evolution to embrace organisations that not only have an interest in oil and gas but also carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and offshore wind.

Our members had already been diversifying and broadening their capabilities to support the development of low carbon technologies, and in March we became Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) to reflect these significant and progressive developments.

As part of this change, I have recently taken on a new role as Wind and Renewables Manager. It actually feels like I’m going back to my roots as I’m from a family of sail-makers. With OEUK my remit is to strengthen the connections between these emerging energies and how they interact with the expertise we have developed from North Sea oil and gas operations.
