OEUK also announced finalists for its pivotal Offshore Decommissioning Conference Gala Dinner to be held on Tuesday, November 22. The finalists announced for the Award for Excellence in Decommissioning are EnQuest, TAQA and Well-Safe Solutions.
Commenting on the announcements, OEUK Acting CEO Mike Tholen, said: “From an impressive list of submissions, these finalists are a real reflection of the great talent and expertise of our energy communities – those that personify the North Sea innovation this industry has become known for.”
“I am delighted to see this recognition for their accomplishments in keeping the UK’s lights on, our hospitals running, and transport systems going – all while really driving industry toward its net zero goals and transitioning the UK towards a sustainable future.”
“Both events are a great opportunity to celebrate the key role our companies and individuals are playing, and continue to play, across the offshore energy sector and we look forward to welcoming guests to celebrating industry’s achievements later this year.”
