Pupils from Dyce Academy have been crowned winners of ICoTA (Intervention and Coil Tubing Association) and SPE Europe’s Energy Apprentice competition, beating three other Aberdeen and shire schools to the award.

Along with Cults, Kemnay and Westhill Academies, the four schools were finalists in a competition designed to improve awareness of career opportunities within the industry and to search for creative thinkers of tomorrow. The challenge set was to come up with an idea that carries the industry into the next century, improving the extraction of North Sea Oil.

ICoTA chairman Callum Munro praised all the pupils taking part for their commitment to the challenge: “These kinds of awards really rely on those taking part to make it a success and the pupils from all the schools involved have really pushed themselves to make it just that.”
