I think it\u2019s safe to say that we\u2019re well and truly in a transition period. As an industry, we know that to survive and thrive we must be able to change and adapt. The industry has signed up to Roadmap 2035 and has adopted ambitious targets to become net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n
To me, there are two key questions that need to be addressed: do we know what needs to be done as an industry, an organisation or even as individuals to achieve this target and is the North Sea ready to adopt these changes?<\/p>\n
In simple terms the answer is yes – the last three years have been a story of rapid innovation and technology adoption in the North Sea. Working with our partners in the supply chain and oil and gas operating companies, we have successfully delivered 108 projects introducing a range of new technologies in robotics, corrosion management and digital inspection technologies. If we have learned anything from the projects we support, then it is that we have outstanding technology developers in the supply chain and committed operators willing to try new technology in the field. Crucially, we know how to get rapid innovation done safely.<\/p>\n
