MEMBER NEWS: Peterson Energy Logistics awarded logistics contract from Apache North Sea

Peterson Energy Logistics has been awarded an integrated logistics contract from Apache North Sea Limited.

The international logistics company will deliver quayside, receipt and dispatch, and fuel services from its bases in Aberdeen and Edzell.

Chris Coull, Managing Director for Scotland at Peterson Energy Logistics, said: “We look forward to working with Apache North Sea to support its northeast logistics requirements.

“Our suite of technology and commitment to carbon reduction initiatives complements our track record in the UKCS.

“This contract award recognises the hard work of our teams across the business as we continue to deliver safe, efficient and sustainable logistics for the energy industry.”

Peterson will recruit approximately 50 staff to support the contract, offering job opportunities in Aberdeen and Edzell which in turn will help support the local economy.

“A high percentage of our vendors are located within a short distance of Aberdeen Port so managing our logistics from the city will have a positive impact on reducing transportation and carbon emissions,” said Jillian Owen, Apache North Sea U.K. Country Manager.

“Furthermore, there will be more opportunities on offer to vessel share with other Peterson customers. Technology focussed logistics will lead to improved reporting and data analysis with digitalisation supporting our team with real-time reporting.”

The award boosts Peterson’s quayside activity by an additional 80,000 tonnes, forming 20% of the company’s overall activity for the year.

The contract has commenced this month following a 12-week transition period.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
