Oil and Gas Asia is fast approaching. So ahead of this years show we have pulled together some quick facts about the event. Read on and get prepared for this years show.

The conference and exhibition season for the oil and gas industry gets underway in earnest at the beginning of May with the Offshore Technology Conference, known as OTC, held in Houston.

Over the years, OTC Houston has become one of the largest oil and gas exhibitions in the world. To celebrate this year's theme, "going the distance," we're taking a look back at how far OTC has come over the last 50 years, and how that has had a lasting impact on the offshore industry as a whole.

The recent downturn in oil (which we appear to have moved away from, thankfully) and the rise in renewables have prompted may people over the past few years to consider the synergies between both industries. 

We are delighted to announce that our head of energy insight Andrew Bradshaw has been selected to join the Energy Leadership Platform - the world's first think tank for senior communications professionals working across the energy industries. 

The three-year downturn in oil and gas, which started mid 2014, was felt throughout the industry. But it was arguably in the subsea sector that the impact was felt most.

In every corner of the world, one high-cost project after another was shelved or abandoned as subsea budgets were hit hard in favour of the less expensive and ‘quick win’ alternatives offered by North American shale.

An impending shortfall in oil supply, a 25 percent increase in energy demand by 2040, the dramatic rise of electricity and a global collective failure to tackle greenhouse gas emissions are some of the key points in the recently-published World Energy Outlook 2018 from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

There is across the board recognition that the cyclical oil and gas industry, which has been characterised by a series of peaks and troughs throughout its history, is now out of the worst from the most recent downturn and is starting to look up once more.

In the latest edition of Energy North our Head of Energy Insight Andrew discusses the future of the U.K's gas industry in the North Sea.

It may be a remote, harsh and challenging area to operate in, but the deep waters west of the Shetland Isles may arguably hold the future of the U.K.’s gas industry and of the country’s wider energy provision in their grasp.

Stavanger in Norway is the home of the international oil and gas industry this week as the city hosts the ONS conference and exhibition.
