A Welcome from the Editor

It has been a privilege to shine a light on the incredible innovations shaping the UK’ s energy and oil & gas landscape. This year’ s inaugural Energy, Oil & Gas Tech Awards celebrate the people, solutions, and partnerships powering real progress— from digital transformation and smart operations to sustainability breakthroughs and automation at scale.
The calibre of entries was outstanding, and we were inspired by the stories shared. The winners reflect what’ s possible when deep expertise meets bold ambition, not just in large corporations but also from agile disruptors and niche specialists rising to the moment. Our winners represent the breadth of innovation happening across the industry, from new technologies in downstream operations and core data & market intelligence, to breakthroughs in forecasting & analytics and cybersecurity.
We established these awards as an essential extension of Energy, Oil & Gas Magazine’ s mission to inform, champion, and connect the sector. Our editorial team, in collaboration with our independent Advisory Board, approached this programme with care and intention— seeking out not just innovation in name, but innovation with real-world impact.
I encourage you to explore the stories of this year’ s winners and celebrate what they represent: excellence, resilience, and a shared commitment to the future of the energy and oil & gas industry in the UK.
