The Oil & Gas Life Cycle
The activities that drive the requirement for people, skills and competence
onshore and offshore throughout the supply chain

Exploration & Production
Energy Companies provide fuel for transport and electricity and oil and hydrocarbons for the development of everyday products from chemicals to plastics
The Energy Industry
• Shooting seismic to image the subsurface – precise positioning is vital
• Marine Vessel towing streamers that contain hydrophones: Air guns emit signals – travel through water – into the Earth – through strata – return to hydrophones – recorded as seismic data
The seismic data is then used to image and map the subsurface
Geologists & Geophysicists
• Shallow Geo – Hazards• How flat is the seabed?• How hard is the seabed?• Obstacles or debris
Seabed surveys – Design, Acquisition and Reporting:What are the major hazards for positioning a rig, structure or pipeline?

Companies employ environmental scientists to look at how energy industry activities might affect plants, animals, fish and birds before any development can take place on land or under the sea.
Renewable energy effectively uses natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, crops and geothermal heat. All of which are naturally replenished.
