ESOS for offshore oil and gas, done properly and priced fairly.
If your organisation is large enough to fall under ESOS, we run the whole thing for you, audit, report and Lead Assessor sign-off, and hand you a clear list of savings worth acting on, with no jargon and no scramble before the deadline. In the offshore oil and gas sector, ESOS applies with OPRED’s own guidance, and we handle that too.
Administered by the Environment Agency, with OPRED’s offshore guidance.
If you operate in the offshore oil and gas sector, ESOS still applies to you. The Environment Agency administers the scheme and notification runs through the national system, while OPRED, the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning, publishes the sector’s own guidance and is your point of contact for offshore-specific questions.
Who it covers
Undertakings in the offshore oil and gas sector that meet the ESOS qualification criteria, alongside their onshore group where relevant.
Administered by the Environment Agency
The Environment Agency is the UK scheme administrator, and notification is made through the national ESOS system, which we handle for you.
OPRED’s offshore guidance
OPRED publishes the dedicated offshore oil and gas ESOS guidance and is the contact for offshore-specific queries, so the audit is built to the sector’s own guidance.
Audited as an engineering job
Offshore energy sits in installations, turbines, pumps and process, not office buildings, so it needs engineers who understand that plant. Ours are registered ESOS Lead Assessors who treat the audit as the engineering exercise it is.
Straight from the source: the offshore environmental legislation guidance →
Your ESOS consultant and Lead Assessor is a registered engineer who knows offshore plant.
The same obligations, whoever your regulator is.
Wherever your organisation sits, ESOS asks the same of you: the same thresholds, the same 5 December 2027 deadline and the same penalties. We handle the whole thing for you either way.

Four steps. We do the heavy lifting.
From the first scoping call to the notification receipt, you have one point of contact and a price agreed up front against a scope we map with you.
Scope & quote
A short call and a desktop review to confirm you qualify and map every site, so we scope the work properly and agree a clear price against it.
Data & audit
We gather energy data and carry out the audits, buildings, processes and transport, with minimal disruption to your operation.
Report & sign-off
Your Lead Assessor compiles the report, ranks the savings, and provides the compliant sign-off for your director.
Notify & save
We submit your notification through the national ESOS system and leave you with a clear plan to act on the savings.
Compliance closed, and a return on the work.
ESOS isn't just a box to tick. Done properly, the audit pays for itself in the savings it uncovers.
Full ESOS audit report
A complete, compliant report covering 95%+ of your energy use, ready for your regulator.
Ranked savings register
Every opportunity costed and ranked by payback, so you act on the ones that matter first.
Lead Assessor sign-off
Formal sign-off from a registered Lead Assessor and a director-ready compliance pack.
Notification handled
We handle the notification submission end to end through the national ESOS system, and confirm your compliance is on record.
Net-zero head start
A baseline and data set that feed straight into your SECR and net-zero reporting.
A price agreed up front
Once your organisation is scoped, a clear price for the defined work. No open-ended day rates.
ESOS in UK offshore oil & gas: common questions.
Who regulates ESOS for offshore oil and gas?
ESOS is administered UK-wide by the Environment Agency, and offshore notification runs through the same national system. OPRED, the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning, publishes the dedicated offshore guidance and is the contact for offshore-specific questions. So OPRED is not a separate regulator with different rules; it provides the sector’s guidance.
Is ESOS different for the offshore sector?
The scheme is the same: the qualification thresholds, phases, deadlines and penalties are identical. What is different is that the offshore oil and gas sector has its own OPRED guidance reflecting how the sector operates, which we build the audit around.
Can you audit offshore installations properly?
Yes. Offshore energy sits in installations, turbines, pumps and process, not office buildings, so it needs engineers who understand plant and process. Ours are registered ESOS Lead Assessors who treat the audit as an engineering exercise, using operational data and a proportionate approach rather than visiting every asset.
How do I know if ESOS applies to us?
ESOS applies to large UK undertakings and their corporate groups: broadly, 250 or more employees, or turnover over £44m and a balance sheet over £38m. If any company in a group qualifies, the whole group is in. The eligibility check on our homepage is the quickest way to find out.
What does it cost?
It depends on your scope: your sites, and how your energy splits across buildings, transport and process. That is what the free scoping call establishes, and we then agree a clear price for the defined work up front, with no open-ended day rates.
Engineers who understand your energy, not just the paperwork.
ESOS.works is the dedicated ESOS consultancy of Engineered Efficiency. We are professionally registered engineers and registered ESOS Lead Assessors, specialists in buildings, transport and industrial process, so your audit is treated as an engineering exercise, not a form to fill in.
Registered engineers, not just assessors
Led and signed off by a professionally registered engineer who is also a registered ESOS Lead Assessor.
Buildings, transport and process
Specialists across all three areas ESOS has to cover, so nothing in your energy use is missed.
