History

The oil and gas division of Pöyry was formed from two companies, Electrowatt Ekono and IGL.  IGL was formed in Aberdeen in November 1989 to provide high quality process engineering services in the areas of operational support and front end engineering to the UK North Sea operators. These elements of the service remain core to Pöyry's worldwide business today.

Electrowatt, an energy consultancy based in Reading and headquartered in Switzerland, was acquired by the Pöyry group in 1999. The oil and gas division expanded from its original  office in Oman to Abu Dhabi and Brunei. Heymo Ingeneria, a specialist pipelines consultancy headquartered in Spain, joined the group in 1989, while IGL was acquired in 2006. These companies now form the Pöyry Energy oil and gas division.

IGL opened offices in Perth in February 1997, and this is now the base for Pöyry in the Asia Pacific region along with the Kuala Lumpur office which was established in 2001 and a new operation in Brunei.

Europe continues to be supported from Aberdeen and the Stavanger office which was launched in August 2000 strengthening  the capability in the North Sea and Europe.

The oil & gas division of Pöyry  now has 400+ experienced and respected consultants working across the globe providing value adding services to the energy industries.

Pöyry plans to expand in all operating areas and is pursuing opportunities to take its value adding products and services to other energy centres around the world.

It continues to develop products and services, establishing innovative, cost effective tools and methods to solve the energy industry's problems helping to improve our customers' bottom line.`
