The UK has a world-class supply chain which has provided the skills, services and pioneering technologies needed to deliver North Sea oil and gas in some of the harshest weather conditions for more than half a century.  

The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) introduced new measures in 2018 to ensure operators work appropriately with the supply chain and derive maximum value from project activity.

The development phase of the oil and gas life cycle covers the period after an economic discovery has been made and details the processes required to take the discovery up to, but before, the production phase. 

The NSTA is committed to helping the UK government reaching its goal of net zero emissions by 2050 and we have refreshed our core Strategy to integrate net zero and develop benchmarking to monitor emissions performance.

We offer a wide range of career opportunities across a variety disciplines.
