Welcome to OGUK’s Efficiency Hub, industry’s gateway to initiatives that aim to improve efficiency across the UK Continental Shelf.

Faced with a tough downturn, the oil and gas industry has been working harder than ever to find smarter ways to do business. The Efficiency Hub is here to promote the Efficiency Task Force as it works to seek out, promote and provide access to efficient practice while maintaining safe operations.

This is your one stop shop for all things efficiency – information, news, case studies, industry initiatives and how you can get involved.

Efficiency Task Force at a glance

The Efficiency Task Force (ETF) was established in response to the sharp increases in cost, decreases in efficiency and a fall in production volumes that left the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) exposed to the decline in oil price. The ETF aims to seek out, promote and provide access to efficient practice across the oil and gas industry while maintaining safe operations.

The Efficiency Task Force (ETF) was formed in 2015 and aims to ‘seek out, promote and provide access to efficient practice across the oil and gas industry while maintaining safe operations’ by:
