Clone of OAA 2027 - Collaboration Award Entry Form

ENERGY SECURITY EXCELLENCE AWARD ENTRY FORM

The purpose of this Award is to recognise organisations, teams, partnerships or projects that have made an outstanding contribution to strengthening the UK's energy security through the delivery, optimisation, reliability or resilience of offshore energy systems. This award celebrates achievements that ensure secure, affordable and sustainable energy supplies through innovation, operational excellence, collaboration and effective stewardship of critical offshore energy infrastructure. It aligns with the industry's role in supporting domestic energy production while enabling the transition to a lower-carbon energy system.

The judges are seeking evidence of demonstrable impact in one or more of the following areas:

Production Reliability

Sustaining or increasing domestic energy production
Improving operational uptime
Reducing unplanned outages
Enhancing asset integrity and resilience

Infrastructure Security

Protection and optimisation of critical offshore infrastructure
Export route resilience
Pipeline and terminal reliability
Supply chain resilience

Operational Excellence

Increased recovery from existing assets
Improved production efficiency
Reduced deferment
Innovative field life extension

Collaboration

Cross-industry initiatives supporting national energy resilience
Operator-supply chain partnerships
Shared infrastructure solutions

Transition and Security Integration

Projects demonstrating how energy transition activities can enhance energy security
Electrification, carbon storage, hydrogen or other initiatives that improve long-term system resilience

Measurable Impact

Nominees should demonstrate tangible outcomes such as:

Additional barrels of oil equivalent delivered
Production uptime improvement
Reduced infrastructure risk
Enhanced resilience of energy supply
Economic benefit to the UK

Eligible Entrants

Operators and licensees
Joint ventures
Supply chain companies
Integrated project teams
Collaborative industry initiatives
