On this week’s EVOL, in association with the EIC, the team give their thoughts on news that Oil and Gas UK – the North Sea’s leading trade body – is considering a rebrand, potentially following others in taking fossil fuels out of the name as part of their net zero push.
There’s an update on a proposed “renewable energy village” near Peterhead. Big numbers promised for jobs and investment, but will it pan out, or be as much of an Aberdeenshire fairytale as Storybook Glen?
Keeping on big job promises – 2million a year is the estimate for Nigeria’s economy as leaders launch a push into the use of autogas, providing an alternative to petrol in the West African nation.

Mark boldly stakes out a dispute involving a former OGA employee who claims to have taken issue with the numbers behind Hurricane Energy’s Lancaster development. Whatever the truth of the matter may be, Hurricane still appears to be in a hole with its plans and its convertible bond is looming in 2022.
Beneficent Chancellor Rishi Sunak set out plans for a £1.3mn investment in Aberdeen’s subsea hub hopes this week. The next time he is on Energy Voice Out Loud, though, he faces some tough questions from Hamish about what this actually means and what the goals may be.
Ed closed out the episode lamenting over Tullow Oil’s pivot away from free-wheeling frontier explorer to staid short-cycle producer. Paying down debt may seem like a laudable goal but where is the razzmatazz of old?

Yesterday we fired the starting pistol on the countdown to COP26 at our Energy Transition Idea Exchange. Nearly a thousand people joined to hear from activists, engineers, industry bodies, law experts and more, and we’ve picked out highlights from them all for this special episode.
Three major themes emerged from the day – government plans and support, the outlook for skills and jobs, and what the pipeline looks like to hit targets – and even if you weren’t able to make it to the conference on 19 Nov, you’ll still be better briefed with the insight from our four panels in this special episode.

As the proclaimed “Oil Capital of Europe” it’s clear that Aberdeen will be at the centre of efforts to decarbonise Scotland’s energy supply. Extensive work is ongoing in the region to diversify its offering, and strides have already been made in establishing the Granite City as the home of net zero solutions. In this special Energy Voice Out Loud Xpertise Series (EVOL ✕) episode, in paid partnership with the Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group, board member Gordon McIntosh talks to Hamish Penman about how he thinks the energy transition will shape the north-east and what needs to happen in order to address current concerns about Scotland’s renewables supply chain. Gordon also tells us about his time working as deputy minister of natural resources for Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada, and what he’s hoping to take away from Energy Voice’s ETIDEX event later this week.

On this week’s episode, in association with Fasken, the team looks at the return of RockRose Energy founder Andrew Austin to the North Sea fold, after he sold up his former firm for nearly £250m earlier this year. Mark has been looking at an innovative new tech which uses microbes to significantly squeeze out extra barrels from North Sea fields, after a pilot at the CNOOC Scott platform. And rounding off, the EVOL team discuss how Covid-19 has forced Tullow to sell off its Uganda Lake Albert assets after more than 15 years, with a similar bittersweet story for Far Ltd in Senegal.
Finally, with the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow postponed until November 2021, we are bringing together some of the leading voices in the energy transition debate in our brand new virtual summit on November 19, 2020.

The oil and gas industry hasn’t had its troubles to seek in the last few months. But, for all the distractions, be it Covid-19 or the oil price slump, the sector has had to remain focussed on achieving the end goal of energy transition. And with calls for a green recovery getting louder every day, the industry will have to be ready to cope with challenges that will come thick and fast. In this special Energy Voice Out Loud Xpertise Series episode, in paid partnership with Burness Paull, partners Neil Smith and Helen Dickson join Hamish Penman to give their expert take on how the pandemic has effected the push for a low carbon future, and the crucial role that lawyers will have to play in it. Issues around the right to protest, legal obstacles facing the supply chain, and future job market implications are also on the bill!

On this week’s episode, in association with Fasken: should pay for contractors move with the oil price, the EVOL team pondered, while wondering how far would such a move go. Would oil company executives face such pressure? Fortunately, Mark did not suggest that journalists writing about the oil industry should face similar fluctuations.
In other ways of thinking about old problems in new ways, Ed raised the prospect of using cold-stacked rigs for marginal field developments, while possibly raising the ire of an entire Scottish waterway.
Horror is also coming to the North Sea industry, in the shape of a new Amazon series about spooky goings on. Hopefully this will tackle the issue of whether ghostly apparitions receive payment on a sliding scale for their efforts.

Energy Voice’s latest podcast, in association with the International School Aberdeen, is a real diamond in the rough.
The team was delighted to be joined by environmentalist and entrepreneur Dale Vince, who made headlines today with an enterprise that has conjured diamonds from the sky.
Dale talked us through an endeavour which has been years in the making and has clear environmental benefits, as well as a cool, shiny end product.
EV’s podders also discussed Total’s latest exploration success, this time off South Africa, and the prospects for developing what will be an expensive and complex project.
In addition, we’ve got insight into Shell’s efforts to contain the spread of Covid on its offshore assets following recent outbreaks.

Young people globally have a crucial role to play in helping the energy industry transition away from its reliance on hydrocarbons. As the engineers, geologists and lawyers of tomorrow, they will drive forward the clean energy agenda, meaning it’s as vital as it’s ever been that the next generation is kitted out with the skills needed to adapt to a world of challenges and opportunities.
In this special Energy Voice Out Loud Xpertise Series episode, in paid partnership with the International School Aberdeen, head teacher Nick Little talks to Hamish Penman about what they’re doing to ensure students are developing the kind of thinking that will help them navigate the challenges that the energy sector will encounter over the coming decades.
Nick explains how changing attitudes and environmental concerns associated with the oil and gas industry is influencing pupils thinking around future careers. Issues around gender and ethnic diversity in the sector and what can be done to help youngsters break down barriers are also discussed.

What does a failed Scottish wind manufacturer, pirates in Equatorial Guinea and Aberdeen cow pat have in common? They’re all discussed on this week’s EVOL, of course – in association with the International School Aberdeen.
The team delve in to the latest news the Scottish Government has pulled the plug on support for BiFab, in what might be the last nail in the coffin for the beleaguered firm.
Then it’s XR’s protest at BP Aberdeen, which saw Allister writing (another) shite article. Have Extinction Rebellion got a valid argument or do their tactics stink?
Rounding us off, Ed takes us through some troubling times in Equatorial Guinea which has emerged as a ‘soft target’ for pirates, having exposed security shortcomings at an LNG terminal.
