Are you interested in the latest energy market news? The Energy Voice team brings you weekly podcast episodes on energy transition, oil and gas industry news and more. Featuring Energy Voice Out Loud, The Megawatt Hour and more boxsets.
Expro has been operating in the Middle East and North Africa for around 20 years. Ingrid Huldal and James Yard get together with EVOL to share some thoughts about the region. While the region is strong on oil and gas, there is a growing desire to decarbonise and move into sustainable practices.
Despite the significant progress made in connecting the world’s population to the grid, nearly two billion people globally do not have access to clean cooking fuels.
As the world races to decarbonise, oil and gas firms are under intense scrutiny for the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the hydrocarbons they produce.
Talk of the energy transition and the need to decarbonise tends to focus on production, but the other side of the equation - demand - must not be forgotten.
This week, Scottish Renewables and RenewableUK hosted the Floating Offshore Wind conference in Aberdeen.
It was a big week for GB’s electricity system with the closure of Ratcliffe. While the country’s goal of zero carbon from power has been accelerated to 2030, longer timeframes clearly give companies - and crucially workers - scope to prepare.
That wait is over! Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced at this week's Labour Party conference that GB Energy will be based in Aberdeen.
Bridges and Bottlenecks is the latest podcast series by Energy Voice Out Loud in partnership with DNV. Each episode looks to address the hard-hitting issues within the energy transition. Technology exists that will be the bridge to take us there, but there are still a number of bottlenecks that stand in the way of progress.
On Energy Voice Out Loud this week, news editor Erikka Askeland and reporter Mathew Perry take in the OEUK Conference: Powering Our Energy Future.
Listen to Erikka Askeland from Energy Voice speak to the pioneering leaders of Ossian – the mother of all floating wind farms.
This week EVOL looks at AR6 winners, the onshore wind conference and GB Energy as rumours reach reach fever pitch.
Earlier this year Aker Solutions' consultancy business rebranded with a new name, Entr. Roddy Macpherson, the firm's senior vice president, speaks about what prompted the name change while Entr makes its ONS debut.
Expro is looking to forge ahead with CCUS operations and what better place to talk about that than Norway?
Wood had a rough landing this week, but the big boss reassured Erikka that things are on the turn. A number of suitors have come calling but failed to close, in testament to the company’s attractiveness Ken Gilmartin said.
This week on EVOL, the Energy Voice team discuss the reaction to upcoming changes to the windfall tax, and whether it’s behind Shell and Exxon offloading their Southern North Sea assets.
As the energy sector continues to expand and roll out new technologies, training standards must keep pace to ensure that workers are adequately equipped to handle the environments they find themselves in.
This week on EVOL, Ryan and Ed are joined by new Energy Voice editor Mark Selby as he makes his podcast debut.

The rumour mill has kicked into overdrive amid discussion that Repsol is considering the acquisition of NEO Energy, even while politics has overshadowed the energy sector. While some companies are moving away from the North Sea, others are choosing to stick it out, Ryan explains, on the basis that it can’t get any worse.
Wood is considering another offer for the company, from the Middle Eastern Sidara. Such a sale would likely help Wood access new international markets, but the loss of a FTSE250 company based in Aberdeen will be lamented. Given the challenges of the North Sea, is such a move inevitable?
Listeners in the UK may have seen there was a small political announcement this week... Rishi Sunak announced a general election will be held this summer.
Now that Repsol has settled its spat with Sinopec, the company has admitted it is “reviewing” its structure, with nearly 100 jobs expected to go. It set out plans recently for more activity, striking a slightly unusual tone – and failing to blame the windfall tax, unlike many of its contemporaries.
In this week's episode of EVOL, the trio discuss Humza Yousaf's resignation, Shell's Q1 results and the future of solar.
Saudi Aramco ditched around one third of its jackups this week in a sign that the oil-rich state is demonstration of a move away from some of its grandiose visions. The market remains tight, with South East Asia likely to provide a home for spare capacity. Whether the North Sea, beset by windfall tax woes, can secure some of these newly idle jackups remains to be seen.
It may be Easter week but that does not mean the news has slowed down, Energy Voice reports may not be hunting for eggs but they have found some interesting stories.
