Offshore Achievement Awards (OAA)
Category: Organisation Event
Location: Online
The Offshore Achievement Awards (OAA) is gearing up for its first ever virtual awards ceremony, allowing finalists and winners to be celebrated by industry on Friday 14 August, 2020.
Originally planned to take place at the P&J Live on 19 March, the date was postponed due to the global COVID-19 outbreak which placed a halt on events around the world.
Instead, a virtual ceremony, hosted and organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Aberdeen Section and supported by long standing principal sponsor, TAQA, will now be streamed across a range of online platforms.
Rachel Riley will return as the host for the evening, taking part in a live Q&A as well as presenting the award winners across ten categories, including the new, highly anticipated ‘Energy Transition for Future Generations’ award. The 34 finalists, announced at the start of this year, will find out if they have clinched a prestigious OAA trophy, designed by Gray’s School of Art student and competition winner, Rachel Mackay.

Marine Autonomy and Technology Showcase (MATS 2020)
Category: Conference
Location: Online
This year’s Marine Autonomy and Technology Showcase (MATS 2020) will be held as a virtual event, the delivery committee announced this week.
In the light of the ongoing challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has taken the decision to deliver the event as an online conference for the first time. The approach has been strongly supported by the industry and academic advisors who sit on the event delivery committee.
MATS 2020 will still feature high quality, insightful presentations from key figures in the marine technology sector, as well as industry exhibitors, and those crucial networking opportunities that delegates value. Our expert session chairs have already been confirmed and we will be announcing the keynotes and registration details in the coming weeks.
As a result of the changes to this year’s format the abstract submission deadline has been extended until Tuesday 4 August - as announced two weeks ago - to open up the opportunity to those who may have previously been unsure of travel and accommodation arrangements under current restrictions.

“The annual Gas Industry Awards, will be 21 next year! Twenty-one years of providing an opportunity to celebrate the progress of the industry and the chance to inspire the future. The gas network is a key national asset, invested in for decades to serve customers, providing a secure, flexible source of energy, and the industry that serves it is brimming with talent.
“Whilst this delay comes with a heavy heart, EUA is confident that the awards will continue to be the largest and most prestigious event in the gas industry calendar.”

However, we are looking forward to being reunited in 2021, when we can finally give our nominated people, projects and companies the recognition they deserve.
