Michel Contie of Total UK has been selected as the recipient of the Energy Institute’s (EI) 2005 Cadman Memorial Award. One of the EI's most prestigious awards, it commemorates the late Lord Cadman of Silverdale, a former Chairman of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP) and past President of the former Institute of Petroleum (now the Energy Institute). The Cadman Award goes to Contie for ‘outstanding services to the petroleum industry’. He will be presented with the award on 23 June in London. Contie began his career as a research and development engineer, first in France and later in the US, involved in development of new technologies for deep offshore oil developments. He has held various operational and managerial positions within Total in France and other countries. In 1999, he became Senior Vice President of the French group's Latin America business, covering operations and new developments in that region. In 2000, he was given the task of leading Total's UK business, which is headquartered in Aberdeen, since when he has become very well known in North Sea circles and a prime mover of change at the UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA), of which he was President in 2002. Contie has presided over huge change at Total's North Sea business in his quest to ensure it remains relevant to headquarters in Paris. The jewel in the crown remains the highly successful Elgin/Franklin high-pressure, high-temperature gas/condensate development, while the core, but ageing, Greater Alwyn business continues to make a valuable contribution. Contie is an Officer of the Ordre National du Mérite, awarded by the French government, and, in July 2004, he was awarded a Doctorate in Business Administration by The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen.
