achieve Magazine - Energy

Welcome to achieve: the quarterly magazine from Sinclair Knight Merz

Oil and gas is the focus of the latest edition of SKM’s achieve magazine. Developing new oil and gas supplies is a long-term undertaking. With surging demand for oil and gas from the emerging economies of China, India and the Middle East, and the global recovery from the financial crisis, embedding risk management into project plans is critical to meet future supply needs. The pace of economic growth and the resurgent demand for energy will continue to present challenges for the oil and gas sector.
