More than 1,000 visitors turned out for the annual PILOT Share Fair on Wednesday, November 4, in Aberdeen.
The event, which was attended by international safety expert, Dräger, was an opportunity for major oil and gas players to showcase ongoing oil and gas projects and share current efficiency challenges facing their businesses.
This year’s fair, which attracted more than 1,000 delegates, exhibitors and presenters, took place at the AECC (Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre).
The fair, which is widely regarded as the foremost business development event in the UK oil and gas industry calendar, enables purchasers and suppliers to do business better by providing the opportunity to network and learn about the latest UK oil and gas business development opportunities from the major industry players.
Representatives from Dräger were on hand to meet and talk to delegates and share information and updates on the company’s cost-saving products and services at its dedicated Aberdeen site.
Michail Tzouvelekis, Regional Segment Manager for Dräger Marine and Offshore, said: “We’ve been attending the PILOT Share Fair for six years now as it is a key event in the Dräger calendar.
“We were delighted to attend the event this year and meet and greet delegates to discuss our offering. It’s always helpful to understand what it is our customers are hoping to achieve themselves and to roadtest the ways in which we can help them in the future by coming up with innovative solutions.
“We’re always more than happy to have a conversation with companies that are looking to take steps to reduce costs and become more efficient, and we believe that being safe is by definition being more efficient.
“We want our customers to be prepared for any eventuality. It’s about zero incidents and more safety in the workplace and we are looking forward to sharing our newest innovations with our peers.
“Depending on a company’s needs, we can share our expertise, resources and ideas to develop a long-term safety strategy which will ultimately reduce safety equipment inventories and standardise detection and protection across multiple offshore assets. This can save hundreds of thousands of pounds per year in operating expenditure.
“At Dräger Marine and Offshore, we can offer equipment for purchase or rental, services and training out of our facilities at key hubs in the UK, the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark.”
Delegates at this year’s PILOT Share Fair got the opportunity to hear first-hand from major industry players about the diverse range of oil and gas opportunities in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) from major redevelopment projects and new field developments, to investments targeted at extending the life of existing oil and gas infrastructure and the need for new technology solutions.
