The search continues for the offshore energy industry’s brightest stars as Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) extends the deadline for nominations for its 2025 annual award ceremony, sponsored by Shell U.K. Limited.
The OEUK Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of businesses and individuals across the nation’s offshore energy sector – including oil, gas, wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage.
This year features a brand-new category: Outstanding Contribution to Circular Economy. This award recognises companies leading the way in sustainability through reuse and repurposing.
In total, nine champions will be honoured at the event, which will take place at P&J Live in Aberdeen on 20 November, starting at 6.30pm.
Information about all categories and how to submit a nomination is available on the awards site. The deadline for nominations has been extended to Monday 11 August, giving applicants more time to recognise their colleagues and teams.
Nominations for the OEUK Award for Excellence in Decommissioning have also been extended to 11 August, with winners to be announced at the gala dinner during OEUK’s Offshore Decommissioning Conference on 25 November.
Dave Whitehouse, OEUK CEO, said:
