International Energy Consultants Organisation (IECO) – ‘…raising standards in the energy industry’. The leading energy consulting companies are pleased to announce the formation of a new professional body, operating as a forum for all companies and individuals with consultancy as their core business, within the many fields of geosciences and related activities.

The organisation will be known as ‘IECO’ (International Energy Consultants Organisation) and has fifteen founding member companies. The Energy Consulting industry faces many challenges, both internally and in our wider relations with Clients and Contractors. IECO will allow us to resolve issues common to the consulting business, put forward solutions and present clearly defined professional standards. IECO has already identified topics, including how to attract younger people into the industry and standardising contract terms and conditions.

IECO is now actively recruiting members. We invite all those who provide in-field geosciences, survey and HSE consultancy services to the energy industry to add your voice to the debates and to the development of our organisation.
