The government has set out its plans, in the nick of time, for the oil and gas sector to cut carbon emissions and evolve to 2030. There are plenty of hopes and big numbers, but it’s clear the industry is expected to stump up a fair amount of cash to make the dreams come true.
Mark and Ed are away, so the digital journalists will… play…?
After a run of days of oil industry wheeling and dealing which have left the EV team breathless, Allister battled through the breaking news that CHC is swooping in to buy the oil and gas helicopter business of rival operator Babcock.
There’s a storm brewing over at Hurricane Energy with one of its major shareholders suggesting the board doesn’t have “skin in the game”. Crystal Amber says the relationship has “deteriorated dramatically,” so the EVOL team take this opportunity to dive into the potted history of the west of Shetland operator.
Super-majors continue to drift away from the North Sea, with HitecVision-backed NEO striking a deal to acquire ExxonMobil’s assets. The buyer was staying mum about decommissioning liabilities, as yet impervious to Allister’s probing questions.
Energy Voice’s Ed Reed, EY’s Tim Calver and ITM Power’s Graham Cooley ask if enough is being done to support low carbon hydrogen production?
Hydrogen is sometimes seen as a panacea for all problems and challenges that the energy transition may pose. But is it all it’s cracked up to be? And what colour hydrogen is the best colour?
Intrepid podsters one-and-all waded into the thick of the Covid-19 quarantine debate this week – should Scottish oil workers have to do time in hotels on return from overseas jobs? Or should they just hop on a train from London and hope for the best?

How much of a problem is a two-foot crack in a ship West of Shetland? Clearly not one to prompt action in the first four years after the problem was reported. Who knows whether the latest HSE improvement notice will have any greater impact.
The UK Government’s commitment to developing offshore wind has been unequivocal.
With constant helicopter flights rumbling overhead, Aberdeen has started to feel like a ’Nam movie again. That’s because Covid appears to be resurgent in the North Sea once more, but what about matters onshore, and the prospects of Offshore Europe gracing P&J Live in September?
The UK Government announced its 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution amid much fanfare in November. The points laid out in the strategy pave the way to the UK’s net zero future. But what are they? Why have they been identified? And what impact will they have on the energy sector and the wider economy?

Allister, Ed and Mark shook off the festive cobwebs to dish out a healthy dose of oil and gas news in their first EVOL podcast of 2021. Ed sparked things into life with news of a milestone for LNG in Sub-Saharan Africa, with first deliveries in Ghana from Shell just around the corner.
This week on Energy Voice Out Loud, in association with the EIC, we have a festive treat for you in the year’s final episode.
This week on Energy Voice Out Loud, in association with the EIC, podders Allister, Ed and Mark weighed up the prospects of oil and gas offshore workers getting their hands on the vaccine any time soon, imbued with the wisdom of a top microbiologist.

Energy Voice’s latest podcast, in association with the International School Aberdeen, is a real diamond in the rough.

On this week’s episode, in association with the ISA, the pandemic may have stopped Ed from physically rifling through Mark’s pens, but COVID-19 has reappeared offshore, where number of workers have had to be removed from North Sea platforms.
In this week’s episode, in association with the ISA, the EV boys got under the skin of the week’s biggest slab of M&A news, which sees private-equity backed Chrysaor cement its position as the UKCS’s production King through a merger with Premier Oil.
The coming of the Energy Transition era, combined with the Covid-19 and the latest oil price downturn, has made it absolutely imperative for energy companies to show resilience and adaptability.
