In the New Year, we still face climate change, energy pricing crisis, supply challenges, and lacking ambition, but in challenges there are always opportunities. In this edition, we focus on those who are taking the hurdles and overcoming with...
November 2022
The often-forgotten renewable energy source, solar, is widely recognised as the cheapest and fastest to roll out. Whether at scale across a sunny desert, atop a warehouse or office roof, or covering a parking lot, solar panels are cheap, flexible,...
September 2022
Data, insight, knowledge, and information are just as much a part of the energy industry as steel, cable, cranes and engineers. Reliable data is the cornerstone of development, and without good info, investors cannot sanction projects. Without...

Over the past two decades, technology has seeped further into the oil and gas industry. Traditionally driven by people and hardware, the drive for safety has moved people out and software in, and hardware has received major upgrades to ensure that the new software can run entire systems where possible.
May 2022
It has never been clearer that the energy transition is not just underway, it is thriving. There is a concrete shift away from traditional fossil fuel energy generation towards renewable, recyclable, reusable energy.
