Today we mark a milestone - 60 years in the UK North Sea 🇬🇧 🌊

We’re a pioneer of the UK industry.

Since being awarded our first licence in 1964, we’ve been at the centre of discovering, innovating and evolving.

And people are at the heart of this. Building an enduring supply chain, developing brilliant careers and supporting communities across Scotland and beyond. 🌍

From playing our part in securing today’s needs to working to progress tomorrow’s energy system, we’re not just reflecting on our past in the North Sea - we’re championing its future.

🌐We spent £5.3 billion with UK suppliers from Shetland to Southampton.
📈 Our total contribution to UK GDP was £17.1 billion – that’s £1 in every £160 of UK GDP.
🤝We donated more than £16 million to charities supporting the most vulnerable through the cost-of-living crisis and funded projects aiming to enhance education, employability and biodiversity.
