The Scottish Oil Club Events

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 Club’s origins 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.

Programme 2005 - 2006
