The team get stuck into UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s visit to Aberdeen to charm the great and the good of the North Sea over his proposed windfall tax. It remains to be seen if the flying visit was more of a photo opportunity or a serious attempt to listen to the industry’s concerns.
Damon covers an oil spill at Jadestone Energy’s Montara field that saw the company’s share price dive as Australia’s offshore regulator remains concerned about the structural integrity of the FPSO.
Meanwhile, Hamish discusses his eventful week at Global Offshore Wind in Manchester, including some fun and games with Greg Hands, as well as a chat with Equinor about the Rosebank project. Equinor say they are committed to the development, but Sunak’s proposed taxes could throw a spanner in the works.

It’s easy, and perhaps inevitable, to blame the government for slow progress in the CCUS industry. Going beyond this, though, SSE Thermal’s Hannah Bronwin and GaffneyCline’s Mark Wilkie come together to talk practicalities, finances, exports, and whether the DPA can be to CCUS what CfDs were to offshore wind. Alphabet soup or a breakthrough for tackling net zero? Hannah and Mark talk us through the issues and inner workings of capturing carbon.
This is the first CCUS – a Tracking Transition podcast episode, with an initial focus on Europe, and the UK in particular. Next up in the series will be a focus on Asia.

Big Oil Big Energy has got its wallet out and is spending big on clean tech this week, with BP and TotalEnergies taking sizeable positions on green hydrogen.
Roll up and bring out your carbon emissions; the UK has announced its first licensing round for areas to store CO2 under the North Sea.
And the SEE Monster art project is taking shape in Weston-super-Mare, but why not Aberdeen? A neat tourist scheme or a monstrous idea?

Though numerous turbines are already turning offshore, the drive to further enhance the offshore wind sector does not let up. Countless bright minds are working to carefully shape and improve the building blocks of the industry, but a fundamental ingredient is required – collaboration.
Not content with rhetoric, ABB and Ramboll have teamed up to create leading engineering solutions for offshore wind, particularly around electrical systems. The pair are working across borders, sharing learnings and experiences to ensure the best outcome.
To set out the objectives of the partnership, Energy Voice’s Hamish Penman is joined by Martin Kjäll-Ohlsson, VP offshore power at ABB, which sponsors this episode, and Jesper Thomsen, business development director at Ramboll.

The podcast reaches a new low this week – not just because Hamish and Ed are away (presumably celebrating our sovereign), but because of a record number of expletives!
Damon Evans is to blame; he takes us through the choice language used by Australian union officials in their dispute with Shell on the Prelude production vessel.
Andrew Dykes is painting the town red with the latest on Shell’s Jackdaw field – not literally of course. He’s left that to others….
And after all that, Allister tries and fails to ground the pod with discussion of CHC’s latest tribulations in its now-blocked takeover of Babcock’s North Sea business.

The sound of a screeching U-turn means the UK’s windfall tax – sorry, "Energy Profits Levy" - is finally delivered, after nearly six long months of will-they, wont-they. The gang explore the potted history of the controversial policy, the impact it may have on investment and consumer energy bills, and the reaction from the UK’s oil and gas sector.
Ed also shares his experience from a string of unusual AGMs this week, featuring dancing activists, a very patient chairman, a moveable feast and a protestor who learns there is indeed no such thing as a free lunch.
Tune in for all this and more on Energy Voice Out Loud.

Wildcat strikes broke out this week on a number of platforms in the North Sea. Allister, back in the driving seat after weeks of non-stop social engagements, took us through the restive Bilfinger workers and some of the problems industrial action poses for all involved.
Santos has potentially found a way out of its high carbon LNG project pickle in Australia with a plan to export CO2 to an end of life gas field in East Timor. With offtakers increasingly demanding progress on the emissions front, companies must listen – and find solutions.
The mood in London, at the Africa Energies Summit, was also somewhat restive, with environmentalists gluing themselves to whatever they could find in order to make their feelings known. Despite this, in the conference room, appetite for exploration seemed to ride high with positive messages around seismic plans and drilling rigs.

With Allister still MIA, Ed, Hamish and Damon take to the floor again this week for another episode of Energy Voice Out Loud. Electrification plans in the North Sea are beginning to take shape, and not a moment too soon with the clock ticking for the industry to clean up its act.
There’s sombre tales from India where BW Offshore has come under fire following a fatality at a shipbreaking yard. NGOs are holding operators feet to the fire but it is going to take some hefty disclosure to address the problem.
Sticking on that point, Ed explores a report that exposes the emissions impact of Big Oil selling off undesirable assets. While it’s a simple, lucrative way for companies to clean up their portfolios, there are hidden consequences.
