Working with Capturing the Energy can provide the following benefits to your business or organisation:
Taking care of your information assets
The Wood Review and the Oil & Gas Authority emphasise the need to manage information effectively to maximise efficiency - Capturing the Energy can help you do this.
As well as identifying and transferring key historical records to the University’s archive, we also offer free support and advice to companies at any stage (including records surveys) to help you understand what you should do with the large volumes and various types of information you hold.
Complying with industry regulations
Working with Capturing the Energy ensures you are compliant with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) which regulates the decommissioning process.
The government's Decommissioning Guidance explicitly supports Capturing the Energy and the need to preserve historically significant records.
Safeguarding your place in history
Oil, gas and renewables are a vital industry in the UK, an economic success story which has made Britain a centre of expertise and skills in exploration, production and construction. It has also had a transformative effect on communities in the northeast of Scotland and across the country.
Although the oil and gas industry continues to thrive and production from the North Sea is likely to continue for decades to come, the industry must take proactive steps now to preserve a record of its remarkable achievements - Capturing the Energy enables your organisation to be part of that legacy.
Several companies have already seen the value of working with us - why not join them?
Corporate social responsibility
Celebrating the heritage of the oil, gas and renewable sector will increase public recognition of the contribution it has made to Scotland and the UK.
The proper selection of key records will develop a fascinating resource that the wider community can benefit from, and which can inspire the next generation of talented engineers and designers.
Widening research opportunities and enhancing educational programmes can contribute to your company's CSR strategy.
