General – Name Change
Oil and Gas UK (OGUK), a UK-based offshore oil and gas industry association, is changing its name to Offshore Energies UK.
Main reason for the change is to reflect its expansion into low-carbon offshore energy technologies that its members are developing, including offshore wind, hydrogen production, carbon capture, and storage systems, and other emerging low-carbon technologies.
OGUK, which will formally become Offshore Energies UK on February 14, said: “Offshore Energies UK will continue to champion the oil and gas sector but will also support those with an interest in carbon capture and storage, hydrogen production, and offshore wind.”
Deirdre Michie, CEO of Offshore Energies UK, said the organization would be a unifying voice for an offshore energy sector that was undergoing rapid and positive change.
