The Scottish Oil Club is a national forum for the presentation and discussion of views on the economic, industrial, technological and political aspects of petroleum and other energy resources. The programme of regular meetings gives members of the club the chance to hear briefings by specialists of international standing. Members enjoy opportunities for lively and informed debate in informal surroundings, and benefit from networking with others from a range of energy-related enterprises.

The origins of the Club date back to 1975 when it was founded as The Edinburgh and Leith Petroleum Club. In the autumn of 1998, the Club merged with the Glasgow-based Oil Club and changed its name to The Scottish Oil Club. Regular monthly meetings are held over the Autumn, Winter and Spring.

The Scottish Oil Club is a key non-profit energy NGO and a highly credible energy discussion forum with significant membership across Scotland, Europe, and the world. The diverse membership is drawn from the energy industry and its supporting service companies. The membership includes decision/policy makers, financial sector analysts, trade, academics and consulting--a true breadth of experience and knowledge. The Club values all opinions and aims to facilitate discussion and debate for topical issues, research, and projects across the full energy spectrum for all those keen to deliver their views to our members, or wishing to challenge our collective experience. The Club also enables invaluable networking at the industry level, and across peer groups. All are welcome to hear the presentations, debate the discussion and learn more about the energy sector than they probably knew before.
