Mexico, UK Strengthen Ties with 5-Day Subsea Learning Event

Senior figures from Mexico’s national oil company, Pemex, have strengthened ties with the UK subsea industry with a five-day subsea learning event in Aberdeen.

Organized in partnership with the Department of International Trade (DIT), the event included site visits to companies including GE Oil & Gas, Aker Solutions, Hydrasun, Wood Group, BP and ROVOP. The delegation experienced what it’s like to operate a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), learnt about diving operations and toured a number of subsea manufacturing plants.

“Mexico has the potential to be one of the fastest-growing oil and gas provinces in the world and this visit to Aberdeen builds on the already close ties between our two countries,” Neil Gordon, chief executive of Subsea UK, said in an organization statement.

“With Mexico’s energy ambitions and the UK’s wealth of experience, there are huge opportunities for collaboration,” he added.
