Awards to Highlight Decommissioning Sector

Decom North Sea, the membership organisation for the oil and gas decommissioning sector, has launched the first industry awards to be dedicated to decommissioning excellence.

The Decom North Sea Awards will recognise efforts of Decom North Sea members to innovate and collaborate within the sector, as well as an award for specific contribution to Decom North Sea.

Entries open today, March 29, with winners announced at an awards ceremony and dinner, to be held in Aberdeen on May 22- the evening prior the organisation’s annual conference, Decom Offshore.

Decom North Sea interim chief executive, Tom Leeson, said: “Our primary role is to bring value to our members, and we do so by supporting the supply chain in winning work, and operators in meeting their regulatory obligations and cost control challenges. Inherent to the success of both is a commitment to technological innovation and collaboration.

“As the only membership organisation dedicated to decommissioning, Decom North Sea is fully aware of the excellent work being undertaken within the sector. I encourage members to consider submitting an entry into the awards as the benefits to finalists and winners are twofold; in addition to industry level recognition for their hard work, it also provides an excellent opportunity to share their stories and lessons learned.”

Submissions to the categories of Outstanding Innovation and Excellence in Collaboration can be made until April 24, 2018.
