Entry deadline extended for Offshore Achievement Awards 2023

The entry deadline for the prestigious 2023 Offshore Achievement Awards (OAA) has been extended to Friday 2nd December.

The original deadline date of 18th November has been extended to give organisations extra time to make their submissions.

The 36th annual awards, supported by principal sponsor TAQA, will once again celebrate the successes of the offshore oil and gas and renewables industries, showcasing business growth and accomplishments, recognising outstanding individual achievements, and highlighting revolutionary technologies.

The full list of award categories for 2023 are:

 

·       Emerging Technology

·       Innovator

·       Internationalisation & Diversification

·       Outstanding Skills Development

·       Digital Innovation

·       Energy Transition

·       Carbon Reduction In Conventional Assets

·       Diversity & Inclusion

·       Exceptional Impact Company – SME

·       Young Professional

·       Significant Contribution

This year, two new categories have been introduced to recognise organisations’ commitment to renewable energies and the energy transition.

The ‘Energy Transition’ award will recognise an offshore company’s efforts to decarbonise the energy system and/or achieve the industry target of net zero emissions. The second new category, the ‘Carbon Reduction In Conventional Assets’ award, will recognise an offshore company’s efforts to reduce their operations’ carbon footprint.

The OAAs remain a not-for-profit event, with any surplus generated from sponsorship and table sales directly invested back into events and initiatives organised by SPE Aberdeen to promote STEM subjects and support future generations. Activities supported by the SPE Aberdeen Section include student bursaries, CV workshops, TechFest and Space to Energy.

Entries are now open until 2nd December 2022, with finalists announced in January 2023. Entries are open to all UK-registered companies within the oil & gas and renewables sectors – categories, criteria and application forms are available at www.spe-oaa.org. Winners will be announced at a black-tie ceremony compered by television presenter Rachel Riley on 16th March 2023 at the P&J Live in Aberdeen.
