Companies target the energy sector

Jun 17 2010 by Peter McCusker, The Journal

NOF Energy, the business development organisation for the oil, gas, nuclear and offshore wind sectors, has established a new relationship with Decom North Sea to promote opportunities in offshore oil and gas decommissioning.

Aberdeen-based Decom is a new organisation which works to help supply chain companies throughout the UK secure a proportion of the £30 billion decommissioning workload facing the North Sea in the future.

NOF Energy has committed to help Decom North Sea raise its profile in the UK, initially in the North East of England, which has a strong base of companies that currently have the potential to serve the decommissioning market.

In addition, the two organisations will share industry intelligence and encourage member collaboration.

George Rafferty, chief executive of NOF Energy, said: “We work closely with a number of development organisations in the energy sector who share the goal of securing a proportion of the market for the UK supply chain and for NOF Energy members.

“Decommissioning offers strong potential for the skills, products and innovation that exists within our membership and the relationship with Decom North Sea will help increase those opportunities.”
