The UK Offshore Oil and Gas Fabricators Directory 2015

Foreword from Oil & Gas UK

W elcome to the 2015 edition of the U K Offshore Oil and Gas Fabricators Directory compiled by Oil & Gas UK. This year’s digital version of the directory has been updated to include details of two additional UK fabrication yards as well as a range of equipment and facilities, such as new cranes and specialist coating workshops, which have expanded the existing capabilities of the sector. As the industry tackles serious challenges arising from increasing costs and declining production, along with the recent dramatic fall in oil price, it is more important than ever to take steps to ensure that UK companies continue to be competitive. Oil & Gas UK is committed to ensuring a sustainable long-term future for the UK industry supply chain – a strategy shared by the government and outlined in its industrial strategy for oil and gas. A key way to meet this shared objective is to take all steps possible to ensure that the capabilities of UK fabricators are well known and understood by potential customers both in the UK and in the global oil and gas industry. We believe this directory should provide companies both here and abroad with valuable information when assessing fabrication yards for future project work.

The fabrication sector in the UK can call upon 40 years of experience during which it has accumulated an impressive level of knowledge and expertise, and it is vitally important that we continue to promote these indigenous engineering skills. We believe the directory, with its detailed analysis of the sector’s capabilities available throughout Britain, highlights this impressive proficiency, signals that the UK is open for business and demonstrates the ability of the fabrication sector to serve other heavy industries, in addition to the UK oil and gas sector, in years to come.
