The war in the Middle East is approaching the two week mark as oil prices have hovered around $100 per barrel. This came as Sidara finally competed its acquisition of Wood. 

In this week's episode of Energy Voice Out Loud, Ryan Duff is joined by reporters Michael Behr and Mat Perry while news editor Erikka Askeland catches up with what was happening at the Scottish National Investment Bank event in Aberdeen.

First, Mat discusses the Rosebank FPSO's journey to the UK as it narrowly avoided conflict in the Middle East. This prompted a wider discussion on the impacts the war is having on the global energy market. 

Next, Erikka speaks to Tim Cullen from Great British Energy and Ana Stewart, Scotland's chief entrepreneur, about how to secure the UK's energy supply chain in a busy lunch time break at the Scottish National Investment Bank conference in Aberdeen 

And last, but by no means least, Ryan and Michael discuss Wood becoming 'a Sidara company' and what may change with the Aberdeen services giant now that it is under new ownership. Is there a Penspen merger on the horizon? It is certainly possible.
