Partners

Vanguard

Vanguard Energy Limited was founded in 2007 as a private equity backed vehicle to access oil and gas development projects in the UK and elsewhere. In recent years Vanguard's team have focussed increasingly on Carbon Capture Use and Storage (CCUS) and helium exploration projects, whilst also retaining capability to progress hydrocarbon projects as appropriate. Today Vanguard provides technical and commercial advisory services to resources sector clients and is currently focused on low carbon development projects in Trinidad and on helium exploration projects in the USA, Europe and the UK.

The Harwell Campus

Harwell is a thriving world-class campus, several concerns in its cryo-cluster have a deep interest in helium.

Several of these are significant helium users and technology leaders and they offer a deep knowledge and expertise in the area. Cryogenics is a classic enabling technology in which Harwell has exceptional strength based upon its interaction with Oxford University and the surrounding enterprise over many years.  The area's position as the world's leading manufacturer of MRI scanner magnets can be traced back to pioneering work at Rutherford Laboratories and Oxford Instruments and their cryocooler technology has made it far and away the most successful. 

Vanguard Drilling Limited

Vanguard is a young entrepreneurial company that has successfully combined innovative techniques and high quality, tried and tested, engineering process control to deliver wells of high integrity. Recent work drilling geothermal wells in Holland has allowed the team at Vanguard to hone their skills and as a result Vanguard would be our preferred well design and construction partner.
