Peterson Energies has been selected to plan and schedule aviation services for bp’s North Sea assets, with the work handled by its Aberdeen-based specialists.
The agreement starts in November 2026 and covers personnel coordination for fixed-wing and helicopter flights serving bp’s UK Continental Shelf installations.
Peterson’s team will connect bp’s aviation managers, offshore installation teams and aircraft operators, producing daily flying schedules. The announcement identifies a planning and coordination role rather than an award to supply aircraft.
The contract gives Aberdeen a direct operational role in organising travel to bp’s offshore portfolio. Its value, duration and any additional recruitment were not disclosed.
The company statement was carried by Global Energy Network on 5 November and subsequently by Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce. It is reported here as an uncovered contract announcement, not a new award made today.
