Member Event: SNS2018 Southern North Sea Conference & Exhibition 2018

The East of England Energy Group’s (EEEGR’s) flagship SNS2018 conference & exhibition is set to be the biggest energy conference yet with 1000+ delegates expected to attend. The conference theme: Innovation, Collaboration and Rejuvenation will translate through the 40+ guest presenters and their presentation and discussion delivery. With speakers covering all major energy facets in the region including major industry players in oil and gas, offshore wind and nuclear sectors, the programme promises to deliver high level information whilst presenting opportunities for the supply chain.

The programme framework derives from EEEGR’s dedicated Special Interest Groups (SIGs) with representatives from the Chairs of all the group to provide an update of the progress of the groups and how they are influencing the industry to enhance the supply chain; Late Life & Decommissioning, Marine, Rejuvenation and Offshore Wind.

The programme also demonstrates innovation with the Oil & Gas UK’s Efficiency Task Force (ETF). Giving an insight into industry efficiency performance, it will include an overview of key projects and how engagement with these will benefit your organisation. This is illustrated with a case study from Worley Parsons. As well as the programme echoing collaboration with the Oil & Gas Authority’s Bill Cattanach detailing the Supply Chain Action Plan (SCAP) initiative and how this is being taken forward into 2018 to assist the supply chain.
