Looking to the future
Against the backdrop of increasingly tough conditions for industry, it is encouraging
that companies are investing in the UK to expand their capabilities and expertise.
This will, in turn, help the domestic oil and gas supply chain to continue to be strong
and competitive globally, now and in the future.
Wireline
speaks to GE Oil & Gas,
Global Energy Group and NEL to find out more.
“I
n a downturn, it is essential to
continue to focus on delivering
value for customers as it
means that a business can emerge
stronger in the longer term,” asserts
Peter Williams, product manager at
GE Oil & Gas.
GE Oil & Gas, Global Energy Group
and NEL are three such companies
that are developing their capabilities
and expertise in important heartlands
for the world-class oil and gas supply
chain anchored in the UK. GE Oil &
Gas opened its multi-million pound
Newcastle Innovation Centre in July,
while NEL has created the UK’s only
flow meter calibration facility at East
Kilbride capable of testing at significantly
elevated pressures and temperatures.
Global Energy Group, on the other hand,
has recently officially unveiled its newly
refurbished deep-water quayside space in
the Highlands of Scotland.
