The event, organised in collaboration with Challenger World, saw competitors from
31 teams battle it out over two days of grueling competition in the Cambrian mountains
of Wales. Total E & P UK finally prevailed in the five-stage event, which saw teams
from all aspects of the energy industry, including BP and Conoco Phillips UK Ltd,
tested to their limits in a series of mental and physical challenges.

 

The champions were followed by Ernst and Young, who came in second just ahead of
BP. By triumphing in this event Total E & P UK has earned a place in the one of 
the 2007 BG Energy Challenge series of event, where they will compete against some
of the best corporate teams from in and around the energy industry.

 

Kept in the dark about what each stage involved until the last minute, all teams
showed courage, commitment and determination in challenges that combined orienteering,
mountain biking and canoeing with complex construction, code breaking and mental
puzzles. Winning team members Patrick Guenkel, Mark Ironside, Nigel Gamlin, Howard
Fletcher, Iain Park and Terry Cooper showed mental and physical expertise and unbelievable
team spirit as they triumphed to be crowned victors of the BG Energy Challenge –
UK.
