OPITO, The Oil and Gas Academy


Date:23 Nov 2007
Details:New Oil and Gas Academy Welcomed by UK Energy Minister.
The UK oil and gas industry today announced the creation of a new nation-wide, employer-led Oil and Gas Academy which will allow the industry to secure the skilled workforce it will need to sustain the long-term future of the UK continental shelf (UKCS).
The academy, which will officially be known as OPITO, The Oil and Gas Academy, will be funded by the industry to provide support for the investment that oil and gas employers throughout the UK are making in workforce development to ensure that the UKCS remains at the forefront of offshore expertise and technology.
Malcolm Wicks, the UK's Energy Minister, says: "It is essential that a workforce with the right skills and experience is maintained so that this vital industry can continue to make a significant contribution to energy production in the UK and to the export of oilfield goods and services around the world."
