Welcome
Notes:
We’re excited that you want to take part in the Ultimate FieldTrip 2011 competition. From our first oil discoveries in Persia to today’s enhanced oil and gas recovery techniques, BP has always been at the frontiers of science, technology and engineering. The winning team of the Ultimate FieldTrip 2011 will have the opportunity to experience and contribute to the real challenges facing BP today during a six to eight week paid summer internship. The successful team will: • Work on a real project upon which business decisions will be made • Experience the range of operations in BP’s North Sea business, including trips to our Forties pipeline and an offshore platform • Be mentored by BP professionals • Be fully paid
Good luck!

The brief
Notes:
Innovation and efficiency are essential to long term sustainability. The challenge focuses on the UK. We are looking for a five minute ‘pitch’ – in any electronic format you choose - that can be emailed to us. It should communicate your ideas and the thinking behind them. The challenge is as follows:
What innovative, scientific ideas can your team come up with to maintain the UK continental shelf as a global centre of marine technology and engineering excellence by extending the useful life of North Sea oil and gas infrastructure –and, potentially, the oil and gas fields - as their economically productive activity comes to an end?
Judging Criteria – what are we looking for? • Innovative thinking, original ideas • Recommendations that are commercially feasible by 2020 • Quality of thought and presentation • Your rationale and the ideas
