18. TELLING THE STORY OF THE UK CONTINENTAL SHELF
The Capturing the Energy initiative, which works with companies and organisations from
across the UK offshore oil and gas industry to preserve the sector’s historical records, has
recently re-launched its website after a redesign. The new site includes details about the
project, information about existing collections and explains how companies, organisations
and individuals across the sector can contribute to the oil and gas archive at the University
of Aberdeen. The initiative is supported by Oil & Gas UK, which provided funding for the
development officer post.

UK supply chain subsectors with the
most business development potential in
Atlantic Canada
20. SUPPLY CHAIN
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE
ATLANTIC CANADA BASIN
UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Canada
has identified opportunities for the UK
supply chain in the Atlantic Canada
basin, which has significant deposits
of crude oil and gas. UKTI Canada,
with input from local industry experts,
has conducted analysis of the market,
matching it to the Oil & Gas UK/EY
supply chain mapping exercise. The results
suggest that companies operating in the
following subsectors could develop their
export business within Atlantic Canada:
reservoirs and geoscience; facilities
(including engineering, operation,
maintenance and decommissioning
contractors, and machinery/plant design
and manufacture); and marine and subsea.
