Horizon expands with new offices in Aberdeen
15 August 2007, 4:35pm
Horizon Energy Partners (UK) Ltd, a specialist in oil and gas reservoir exploration and development, has opened a new headquarters in Aberdeen.
The move to new offices in the city’s Queens Terrace, coincides with an active recruitment drive to help meet regional demand for its services.
In addition to providing a base for Horizon’s team of specialist geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers, the new offices feature a field interpretation suite which will allow Horizon’s clients to view the results of Horizon’s analysis in a purpose built environment.
“There is growing demand for our services in the UK sector and in other parts of the world,” explains Horizon’s Managing Director in the UK Dr Andrew Lind. “In particular there are an increasing number of smaller operators seeking the types of field analysis and seismic interpretation services we provide for larger oil and gas companies.”
“These smaller independent operators often don’t have in-house field modelling resources, so there is real potential for us to become a long-term partner to such companies.”
Horizon currently has a team of eleven, based in its Aberdeen office and around 70 people in The Hague. Consultants from both offices work with operators from around the globe.
“The new offices will allow us to step up our recruitment drive and increase the resources we have in Aberdeen significantly,” continues Dr Lind. “We are anticipating that we will more than double the size of our current team in the next two years.”
In addition to providing Horizon’s clients with a custom built venue for presentation of the work carried out by the consultancy, the new field interpretation suite will be made available to operators that are in the process of marketing assets to other companies.
“The type of data we help prepare for our clients is essential when operators are in negotiations with regard to oil and gas field sales,” explains Horizon’s Business Development Manager Paul Gibb. “Our specialist presentation suite is therefore ideal for companies wishing to meet and discuss the transfer of assets, which is an increasing trend in the North Sea.”
Horizon Energy Partners has a strong track record working with both major and independent oil and gas operators.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.HAVE WE REALLY LEARNT THE LESSONS FROM LAST YEAR’S FLOODS?
Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
