The Frigg UK Project is anticipated to be the first of many in the ‘Capturing the Energy’ programme, promoting wider recognition of the technical and cultural importance of the offshore oil and gas industry and encouraging retention of significant records for research and education. As the UK oil and gas industry is well-regulated, there is a wealth of detailed records that will be used to tell this dramatic, important, yet often-overlooked story.

The University of Aberdeen is the hub of the network supporting this programme.
