On 1 June 2015, Omega Subsea UK opened an office and established a subsidiary in Aberdeen, Scotland. Its parent company, Omega AS, provides project personnel and project systems, primarily to the oil and gas and energy sectors. The Norway-based company has more than 15 global offices and about 1100 consultants currently on assignment. Founded in 2012, Omega Subsea provides total project management and onshore-offshore consultancy services for the oil and gas and renewable industry sectors. In addition to the new office in Aberdeen, Omega Subsea has major offices in Bergen and Stavanger in Norway.
Omega Subsea UK’s ultimate goal is to create a total project management service, whereby entire project teams are provided to clients to execute projects. The service will offer a cradle-to-grave platform, such as from tendering activity through contract award execution and final project closeout.
Omega Subsea UK Director, Alistair McKee, says, “Omega Subsea UK has been created as the outlook for the energy sector is encouraging, but a shortage of skilled employees is the main barrier to growth for many tier one, tier two and tertiary contractors. The sector is increasingly moving into challenging conditions, which requires experienced personnel to provide solutions, yet many companies are faced with ongoing skills shortage. Our structure is contained to a group of competent senior executives from the international subsea industry with an average of 15 years’ experience within E&P and subsea contracting companies, which is our key target market for service delivery.”
The company plans to develop onshore and offshore areas of service provision such as project and vessel management, tendering, and commercial, legal, operational and technical support. Additional services will include construction teams, remotely-operated vehicle expertise, inspection and survey crews and deck and tower teams, as well as bespoke and classical project engineering services.
