Apollo is a dynamic and forward-looking business active across the energy sectors. At our core, we are a people business with a track record in attracting some of the best talent that sets us apart from our competitors. With energy demands rising and the transition to a low carbon economy, our responsibility to extract hydrocarbons in the most environmentally efficient way possible has never been more important enabling security of supply in a dynamic world.Apollo partners with our clients to deliver advisory and engineering services across traditional oil and gas, hydrogen & carbon capture and offshore renewables. Within oil and gas we have allowed our clients to implement new methodologies in, asset life extension, process optimisation, electrification, decarbonisation and decommissioning enabling our clients to realise their operational and net zero ambitions.
