The deadline for entries for this year’s Offshore Achievement Awards (OAAs) has been extended to December 9.
Ambitious companies and individuals hoping to be recognised among the best and brightest that the UK offshore industry has to offer have been granted one extra week to submit their entries.
The Offshore Achievement Awards have a 27-year history of celebrating success within the UK offshore industry, in categories which include safety innovations, new technologies, collaborative working and individual achievement. The awards were re-launched in 2011 by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Aberdeen Section.
SPE Aberdeen board member Ian Phillips, director of business consultancy Pale Blue Dot Energy Limited, said: “We have seen a significant level of interest in this year’s awards. We want to ensure that everyone interested has sufficient time to submit an entry and we hope that extending the deadline will assist with this.”
SPE Aberdeen also launched its annual OAA trophy design competition last month, with design students from the Robert Gordon University Gray’s School of Art again competing to design trophies which will be presented to winners.
This year, six students have been shortlisted by judges after showing creativity and flair in their trophy design concepts. The students will now work to develop prototypes of their designs, with the winner being selected to produce the awards trophies.
Mr Phillips said: “SPE Aberdeen is committed to encouraging young people to take an interest in the oil and gas industry and this is a fantastic way to engage with students who aren’t normally involved with the sector.”
The new deadline for companies and individuals interested in entering the Offshore Achievement Awards is Monday, 9 December 2013, with the award ceremony taking place on Thursday, 20 March 2014.
