Subsea 7 in CAITHNESS W Watt General Manager - Pipeline Bundles Subsea 7 1ST October 2014

• Caithness lies at the north east end of the British mainland defined by its diverse energy resources and its long relationship with the oil and gas industries.

• As new frontiers in oil and gas exploration open up in the Atlantic, the modern deep water harbours of Scrabster and Wick are vital gateways to the network of onshore and inland services essential to oil and gas.

• Businesses in the area are now gearing up to capitalise on opportunities presented by the supporting infrastructure for offshore development.

Caithness

A Legacy of Expertise • Since the foundation of the ground-breaking nuclear power

facility at Dounreay over half a century ago, and the discovery of North Sea oil, businesses in Caithness have been at the vanguard of the energy industry, gaining invaluable knowledge and technical expertise in a diverse range of activities.

• Decades of experience in oil and gas and nuclear power are combining to create an unparalleled skills bank with the capability to meet the demands of the new oil and gas era.

• The emerging Offshore Wind and Tidal renewables will capitalise from the vast experience that resides within the many companies that are based in Caithness now and in the future.
