The offshore energy landscape is transforming. As the UK looks to meet its net zero ambitions by 2050, the North Sea will play a crucial role in delivering the country’s needs. North Sea oil and gas production from the UK has powered the country for the last 50 years; now the UK boasts the second largest installed wind capacity in the world. The opportunity for the UK in the energy transition is huge, the question is how do we unlock those opportunities together?
Join this SPE Live moderated by David Whitehouse (CEO, OEUK) and our industry leaders Simon Roddy (Senior Vice President of UK Upstream, Shell UK), Rebecca Allison (Chief Operations Officer, Net Zero Technology Centre), and Sarah Bolson (Decommissioning Project Engineer, CNR International) as they share thoughts on what a future North Sea could look like by the end of the decade, the role that technology will play, and what steps the sector must take to retain and attract the skilled workforce necessary to deliver on the opportunity.
This discussion will continue in depth at SPE Offshore Europe; Aberdeen, UK; 2-5 September 2025. Save the date!
