Our Vision: Meeting Global Demand with Emerging Opportunities in Libya
Despite the decline in Scotland, the world still demands oil, gas, and related products. Fortunately, other parts of the world, like Libya, demand personnel, machinery, and infrastructure. The UN-backed government in Libya is seeking to develop and maximize the opportunities the country possesses. With oil being harvested in the country since 1955 and holding the largest oil reserves in Africa, Libyan oil is highly prized due to the low sulfur content, known as “sweet crude,” added to the proximity to European markets.

The Decline of the Scottish Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas exploration industry in Scotland is experiencing an endemic decline. Despite being the center of a booming economy in the 1960s and 70s, changes in political attitudes towards fossil fuels have led to a sharp and steady decline in investment, exploration, and training.
Skilled Workforce Facing an Uncertain Future
The expertise and knowledge that has been built up over the decades tie together academic institutions with private-sector opportunities and have seen the development of a highly trained and skilled workforce, which is now faced with disappointment and an uncertain future.
Economic Impact
The industry has significantly contributed to Scotland’s economy, providing jobs, tax revenue, and economic growth. The decline can lead to job losses, reduced tax income, and economic instability in the region.
