TAQA was honoured with an award for outstanding photography at a ceremony celebrating the decommissioning sector in Aberdeen last night.
The North Sea operator was amongst a host of winners honoured as part of the sixth annual Decom Mission Awards at a ceremony held at in Aberdeen on Tuesday as part of the Decom Week event.
As of last week, organiser and industry body was relaunched as Decom Mission as it seeks to target internal opportunities and diversify into nuclear and renewables – and with it its long-running award series.
The awards are aimed at celebrating excellence across several areas of decommissioning, with two new categories introduced for 2023 in the form of sustainability and decommissioning photography awards.
The “Decom Mission Member” category continues to recognise outstanding achievement from within the organisation’s international membership.
Decom Mission CEO Sam Long said: “Sincere congratulations to all our winners – and indeed our finalists, who were chosen from the largest number of entrants received to date.
“As the decommissioning industry evolves, so do the Decom Mission Awards and the organisations who enter.
“Our winners this year reflect the impact that companies’ ongoing experience is having upon innovation, the emphasis placed upon sustainability and ESG across all operations, the increasingly international complexion of decommissioning and the understanding that this sector offers significant career opportunities to a vast range of emerging professionals.”
