The Alder Field brings a new stream of natural gas to Chevron’s production portfolio and the United Kingdom. Yet this North Sea asset is no newcomer to the country’s energy scene. Discovered in 1975, development of the gas condensate field was considered impossible, due to the challenges of high pressures and high temperatures in the field's reservoir, lying 14,700ft (4,480m) beneath the seabed. Nearly 40 years later, the right combination of technology, infrastructure for processing and export, and commercial conditions made the project viable. Chevron announced its investment decision in January 2014. The project has a design capacity of 14,000 barrels of condensate and 110 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Alder, located 100 miles (160 km) east of Scotland in the Central North Sea, is being developed using a single subsea well tied back to an existing gas condensate field, Britannia, via a 17.4 mile (28 km) production flowline. Produced gas co

From 1 April 2018 the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) will come into force, making it illegal to agree a new lease on a commercial property with an F or a G Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, unless the property is registered as an exemption. From April 2023 this will be the case for all existing leases, not just new ones. To help you understand what exactly is required and what exemptions are in place, a copy of the regulations can be found here. Ian Shipley, Director within our Asset Management team who leads our energy services to the existing built environment provides some insight on preparing for the new regulations outlining how WYG experts will be assisting clients. “Careful planning and preparation will be required to mitigate the potential impact, and we stress the importance to landlords and investors to take action now if they wish to avoid legal headaches in the near future.”   The potential benefits of early engagement in this pro

WHY AGRO-ALLIED VALUE CHAIN? Agricultural and agro allied products used to be Nigeria’s major source of foreign exchange before the commercial discovery of crude oil which. Later became a major commodity resulting in a mono economy. Until lately, the opportunity to tap into agriculture to reduce Poverty was not taken seriously till the drop in oil price, which brought the value of our local currency crashing. History shows that different rates of poverty reduction over the Past 40yrs have been closely related to differences in agricultural performance, particularly the rate of growth of agricultural productivity.
