Energy Voice – Out Loud DC Thomson

Energy Voice Out Loud has put together a special episode in honour of International Women in Engineering Day. Listen as two of BP’s high-flying VPs – Anch Klien and Ila Glennie – talk about big engineering, the transformational shift advances brought by new technology, as well as what it was like to step onto a rig for the first time and realise you’re the only woman for miles.

Did you know how many elephants it would take to make a gigatonne? 
Listen in to Steve Nicol, executive president of operations at Wood, explain to Energy Voice as he sets out just how big an opportunity CCS could be for the North Sea. 
He also talks about a few more of those big animals in the room. He shares with Energy Voice senior reporter Erikka his perspective on the energy profit levy, and the necessity for fiscal stability during the period of exploration to production. 
He also gives us an update on THAT bid for Wood, live from the show floor of Aberdeen's Energy Exports Conference. 

We often read that there is a skills shortage within the energy transition, however, Worley's location lead for Scotland Chris Behan argues differently. There's certainly a possibility for a shortage of talented people in the UK if projects don't start moving fast enough.
 
Chris sat down with Energy Voice at the Energy Exports Conference to discuss what's causing the hold up with green energy projects and what impact these delays will have. 

Should UK decommissioning firms look overseas for more opportunities? The head of industry body Decom Mission is urging his members to do just that!
Energy Voice sits down with Sam Long, CEO of Decom Mission, live on the show floor of Aberdeen's Energy Exports Conference to discuss the coming general election, decommissioning regulations in the UK and why countries like Australia are so appealing. 

Wood is considering another offer for the company, from the Middle Eastern Sidara. Such a sale would likely help Wood access new international markets, but the loss of a FTSE250 company based in Aberdeen will be lamented. Given the challenges of the North Sea, is such a move inevitable?
In this year of elections, upsets are to be expected. South Africa voted recently and the ANC has now lost its majority – throwing the government into upheaval. Exploration in South Africa has been lagging Namibia’s Orange Basin for some time now and this fresh bout of uncertainty will not help.
And finally, Mat has returned home from a gruelling trip to Iceland where, amid dips in the Blue Lagoon, he also found time to dig deep into magma drilling plans. KMT aims to tap volcanic energy to fuel local needs – but it also raises the tantalising prospect of electricity exports, perhaps bringing back plans for the Icelink to the UK. 

Tune in to hear Michael discuss how the UK’s offshore energy industry is feeling about the upcoming general election. We also unpick the dire prognostications highlighted by Stifel and headlined by Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce that warns that, whoever wins come 4 July, they will only have 100 days to save 100,000 industry jobs.
Erikka sets sail for Norway to find out who – or what – has been brewing a perfect storm for Longboat Energy.
And as Exxon faces a showdown with activist investors, Ed and the team highlight a new front in the culture wars between ESG lovers and haters. And we ask the question – what do shareholders actually need from Big Oil?
