Waveney MP Peter Aldous today attended a gathering of global industry at the Offshore Europe Oil and Gas Conference in Aberdeen.
Mr Aldous attended the event to meet with industry representatives of the oil and gas industry and promote the Waveney area’s huge potential in the sector.

The event debated and discussed the key issues facing the industry and featured a Deep Water Zone, an entire hall dedicated to the offshore sector’s push to safely and responsibly develop hydrocarbons in some of the world’s most challenging deepwater environments.
The event featured more oil and gas operating companies than ever before, including Majors such as Shell, BP, Petrobras, ExxonMobil and Chevron. Other international operating companies participating include Statoil, Saudi Aramco, GDF Suez, Centrica, BG Group, DONG, Maersk, Cepsa, ENI, Petronas Carigali, Premier Oil, TAQA, Total, Addax Petroleum and INPEX.

Mr Aldous said:
“I was pleased to attend this important event at which most of the major oil and gas companies were represented. The sector is extremely important to the Waveney area.
