UKTI: UK Companies Can Benefit from Oil & Gas Projects in Emerging Markets

At Offshore Europe 2013 event in Aberdeen,September 3-6, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) will demonstrate how UK companies can benefit from major oil and gas projects in emerging markets such as Brazil, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia through a series of briefing and networking events.

UKTI is strongly committed to helping UK-based businesses fulfil their full potential in world markets and can offer information and support that only government can provide. For example, facilitating access to key decision makers in government and industry; providing in-depth advice on the political, economic and cultural environment; as well as help with identifying business opportunities and provision of specific, detailed market information. The UK oil and gas supply chain is adaptable, efficient and innovative, offering world-class products and services. This high-performing industry rests on a solid knowledge base, cemented by a tradition of academic, engineering and professional excellence. UKTI is determined to make delegates aware of this high-value offering at this important event. The UK’s energy industries are ready for the future and in many respects are at the forefront. Their scientific and engineering expertise is now being more readily applied to alternative energy sources. However, it is also being applied to new developments within the oil and gas industry, making it cleaner, greener and more sustainable. This is an urgent necessity as global demand for energy continues to rise. Although oil and gas will continue to be significant in the global energy mix, new resources are becoming harder to reach and more difficult to produce. Reservoirs are at ever greater depths, at higher temperatures and pressures, and require complex drilling and completion solutions. Ever increasing environmental pressures also need to be managed. Cleaner and more efficient utilisation of oil and gas will be required for new power projects.UK strengths in meeting all of these challenges will be in evidence at Offshore Europe 2013.
