Issue 26

As the New Year approaches we find out what the industry can expect in 2015 in terms of CAPEX spending, regional hotspots, oil prices and potential challenges. We also learn more about the latest collaboration between the Tanzanian Government and BG Group, Drum Cussac and the VSO to train the new generation of East African oil and gas workers.

In the latest issue, we look at China’s place in the offshore industry as they put up a record number of offshore blocks up for auction, as well as looking at the challenges of providing reliable communications in the Arctic.

Moreover, we explore the idea of offshore fracking in Scottish waters and discover how Norway-based Aptomar is part of a new research project to improve oil spill management.
