Across the North Sea
the Oil Age in the UK
This publication pays tribute to the inspiring history of the British oil and gas industry and to the technological innovations that have shaped it.
Across the North Sea: the oil age in the UK is divided into two sections: editorial, on the history and technology of the sector; and commercial, presenting many of the most important companies that have made it all possible. We sincerely hope you will find the editorial section interesting and useful. But even more important: we hope you will take note of the wealth of information on companies offering products and services that may be relevant to your needs. These are grouped into categories to help you find the most relevant companies as easily as possible.
The book is distributed free of charge throughout the world, and is available at a number of important trade fairs and conferences related to the offshore industry, notably SPE Offshore Europe (OE), Aberdeen, Scotland, and the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas. Across the North Sea is produced in cooperation with SPE Offshore Europe and will be available from Horn Publishing‘s stand as well as the stands of exhibitors that are represented within the publication.
Additional copies are available on request from Horn Publishing, which also publishes similar books on other European business sectors and industries.
This is truly an inspiring and challenging brand to work with, and Horn Publishing wishes to thank all our clients for participating in the book - without you, this would never have been possible

SPE Offshore Europe 2011
We are pleased to inform you of an overwhelmingly successful launch of Across the North Sea at SPE Offshore Europe 2011 through 6-8th September!
As promised, Horn Publishing shipped 1000’s of copies for distribution and though the exhibition was kind enough to provide the service of re-stocking the shelves, we had to constantly pitch in ourselves to keep up with the intense demand! We did not bring a SINGLE COPY home! It was a pleasure to meet with many of you throughout the exhibition and we also met many new faces who are very keen to work with us on the second edition after recognising your company as a client/supplier/business partner and witnessing so many professionals taking your profile home with them.
For those of you we may not have met, we very much look forward to meeting you at the next opportunity. In the meantime, we are working hard on the exciting second edition ofAcross the North Sea: the oil age in the UK !!
NEXT: OFFSHORE TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE (OTC) 30/04 – 03/05 2012. HOUSTON, TX. SEE YOU THERE!

Networking reception, British Embassy
