Opportunities

North Sea Transition Authority Energy Pathfinder

Energy Pathfinder is a free, one-stop-shop for valuable information about near-term contracting opportunities for energy production and decarbonisation projects in the UK.

It answers the supply chain’s calls for a clearer picture of upcoming work, which enables service companies to invest in skills and technologies with confidence, ensuring that resources are available when needed.

Project information includes:

location
type of development
key dates
details of upcoming contracting opportunities
forward work plans for operations and maintenance projects
contact details of procurement managers within companies

Pathfinder was first launched in 2010 to help offshore service companies target opportunities for work on oil and gas field developments. It has expanded in recent years and now hosts details of well decommissioning campaigns, operations and maintenance programmes, and increasing numbers of net zero projects, for example, wind, carbon capture and storage and hydrogen.

Operators can also highlight challenges and seek solutions from the service sector.

There is an option to sign up for email alerts when projects are updated.
