Oil & Gas UK was
proud to present PILOT Share Fair 11. The event aimed to improve the
quality and quantity of information available to suppliers on the
forward activity plans of operators and major contractors. Better
information on forward plans leads to increased availability and more
timely delivery of key equipment, expertise and personnel. This, in
turn, reduces costs and increases efficiency for all participants.
Businesses in general have found 2009 a tough year and the UK offshore
oil and gas industry is no more immune to these pressures than the rest
of the economy. There is concern that oil and gas price volatility and
the freezing of financial markets have suppressed exploration and
impaired investment and production in the North Sea, with wider
implications for companies and employment across the supply chain.
Such concerns relate directly to PILOT Share Fair 11 and the rationale
behind the event. Although the current economic climate is
unquestionably difficult, the industry is still open for business.
Indeed, it could be argued that this year’s PILOT Share Fair was the most important yet.
