Sexy stats, dirty spills and… financial restructuring
Friday Aug 21, 2020
Friday Aug 21, 2020
This week the EVOL team watch the movements of Greenpeace’s Esperanza vessel as the activist group attempts to catch out oil companies polluting in the North Sea. It comes amid revelations that prosecutors spent several times more investigating the case against BP for its 2016 Clair spill than the oil giant actually paid with its £7000 fine. That, as one part of the team speculates, perhaps just about covers their stationary costs?
Also on the agenda we have a new assessment of UK decommissioning costs as the OGA highlights that some operators are “compromising” the efforts of others. It also has some stark warnings about the health of the supply chain. All this and more in this week’s episode, in association with the EIC.

Survive & Thrive – EVOL ✕ EIC
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Service companies have come under mounting pressure as a result of COVID-19 and the related oil price pressure, but it is not all doom and gloom. Stuart Broadley, CEO of the Energy Industries Council, joins Ed Reed from the Energy Voice team to explain why, in a paid partnership with the EIC.
The EIC’s fourth edition of Survive & Thrive, a survey of 40 service companies, flagged three major points. Resilience, diversification and exports.
Companies have learnt the lessons of the last oil price crash, moving faster to cut costs and enter new industries, demonstrating resilience and diversification. But Broadley has called for companies to do more to consider exports as an area of growth in the energy sector.
As to which of the companies surveyed is Broadley’s favourite? He’s not saying, but judging is now under way, and an awards ceremony is scheduled for March 2021.

Choppers, bunkers and Chevron
Friday Aug 14, 2020
Friday Aug 14, 2020
In this episode, in association with the EIC, the war of words has continued in the helicopter space with another contract going to fiercely competitive Babcock. While the company has remained silent about its winning ways, others vying for contracts have been less restrained. Babcock, if you’re reading this, give Mark a call to explain.
Meanwhile, in Australia, a work commission has found in favour of a refinery worker who was sacked after his wife remixed a famous video of Hitler in his bunker with BP. While none of the EVOL team are lawyers, we do caution against comparing one’s employer to a fascist dictator in his dying days.
Chevron set out its reasoning behind its acquisition of Noble Energy this week. The buyer’s attention was first drawn to a stake in Israel’s Leviathan field. While US companies have focused increasingly on domestic shale opportunities over the last few years, they may be starting to consider international properties that actually generate cash flow – albeit at a higher risk premium.

Sour grapes, BP’s big shift and The Brothers Gupta
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Friday Aug 07, 2020
With Allister on his hols (somewhere in lockdown Aberdeen), special guest Stuart Broadley, chief executive of the Energy Industries Council – which sponsors this episode – joined Mark and Ed to size up the week’s biggest stories.
They got under the skin of CHC’s stark warning about the safety implications of asking copter operators to provide services at too-low prices, before Stuart provided an assessment of BP’s plans to shrink its carbon footprint over the next 10 years, touching on some of the obstacles it will face.
Ed lifted the lid on Eskom’s attempts to regain some of the money it has lost to corruption – and Sasol’s efforts to seek some solar power at its massively polluting facilities.
