Gita Bhatt, our project manager visited the SPE Offshore Europe (Society of Petroleum Engineers) conference last week as part of our ongoing work within the energy sector.
The conference ran from 6th-8th September in Aberdeen, known as the energy capital of Europe, with 1500 exhibitors across six halls and over 47,000 visitors.
The overall theme of the exhibition was ‘Securing Safe, Smart, Sustainable Supply’. One of the issues raised was considering ways of decommissioning old rigs in the North Sea both economically and in an environmentally sustainable way. Another aim of the conference was recruitment as there is currently a shortage of young people entering the industry.
Gita said: “Of particular interest to me was the opportunity to meet with UKTI representatives from around the globe on a one-to-one basis to discuss specific opportunities in their market.
“It was really beneficial that I had pre-booked some networking sessions as these were really useful. It was such a large venue and lots of people kept getting lost. However I found it quite a useful conversation starter with people on the stands when I did lose my way!
“Accommodation in Edinburgh was completely sold out so attendees had to travel in from hotels up to two hours away! Its best to book early if you ever go, and flat shoes are a must!”
