You can find OGUK's new London office right next to St Paul's Cathedral..

OGUKmakes new base in the City As of 9 March 2020, OGUK’s London office has moved to a new location. OGUK is now sited in the heart of the City of London, next to St Paul's underground. The newly furbished offices offer greater meeting space as well as a co-working space accessible to visiting members.

Chief executive visitsMet Office Late February saw OGUK chief executive Deirdre Michie travel to Exeter to visit associate member, the Met Office — the national meteorological service for the UK. Deirdre was met by a team of marine scientists and climate change specialists who talked through their work in providing meteorological services for the offshore energy sector. The Met Office's specialist forecasts and weather window analyses help the UK oil and gas industry minimise weather-related risk and uncertainty, reduce operational costs and ensure safety at sea.

Supply chain looks for SOCS OGUK has agreed to support cyber security professionals in the oil and gas supply chain by recognising the industry Service Organisations Cyber Security Forum (SOCS) as an OGUK Special Interest Group. Open to all companies in the supply chain (except IT software, hardware, services and consultancy providers), SOCS holds weekly calls to share current threat intelligence, and quarterly face-to-face meetings at which more strategic opportunities for collaboration are discussed, ranging from potential shared services and industry projects through to questions of capability and skills. The Terms of Reference for SOCS are available on the OGUK website.

Our new address is:

1st Floor, Paternoster House 65 St Paul’s Churchyard London EC4M 8AB

We look forward to welcoming more members to our new location once government guidelines permit.
