And it is a sentiment shared by the IADC, which represents more than 800 drilling companies across the globe, including 14 contractors and more than 80 associates in the UKCS. The call from the IADC follows Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) saying more support was needed for supply chain companies helping sustain oil and gas activity while the UK works towards producing low-carbon energy. “The offshore sector is predicted to employ 200,000 people in the UK over the next decade, and the long term implications of changes in this industry make it vital to undertake this process at a pace that is cognisant of the job security and retraining required of this highly specialised workforce.” We believe the success of the transition can only be delivered by maintaining that security, which includes an active drilling and production programme on the UK Continental Shelf. “The UK Net Zero Strategy states that energy security can be attained through a reduction in the requirement for imported fossil fuels. Different organisations have different priorities, but the priority of all should be to look at the lifecycle of the transition and the wider impact it will have. This is not about individual organisations profiting from the transition, it’s about ensuring we have a viable sector and burgeoning economy which will benefit the whole country. “We need to find the right balance across the industry to ensure we meet our goals. The transition to cleaner energy has to be done safely, sensibly and securely in terms of the national economy, national energy supply and protection of jobs across the UK. “The oil and gas industry is aware of the environmental need to change the way the sector operates, however it is a process that is likely to take decades to achieve and will involve all areas of industry, including drilling contractors. While backing the report’s general findings, with oil and gas supporting 75% of the UK’s energy requirements, the IADC believes a longer-term outlook is needed in order to secure jobs across the industry, stabilise the UK economy and ensure a safe transition to cleaner energy.ĭarren Sutherland, Chair of the IADC North Sea Chapter, said: “The recently announced projects represent a fraction of what is truly needed to meet growing UK energy demands, as well as strengthen regional energy security, but frustratingly only amounts to minimal opportunities for drilling contractors. It comes in response to the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) stating “a wave of new opportunities” for the UK’s offshore supply chain will be created by projects following a study it conducted in conjunction with the Global Underwater Hub (GUH). The North Sea Chapter of the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) today urged the Scottish and UK Governments and all areas of the oil and gas industry to cooperate to better effect and ensure the sector takes a balanced, long-term approach to the energy transition.
