Statoil gives support to talented young people in sport, culture and education, helping them to become the heroes of tomorrow. Statoil is an international energy company with operations in 36 countries. Building on 40 years of experience from oil and gas production on the Norwegian continental shelf, we are committed to accommodating the world's energy needs in a responsible manner, applying technology and creating innovative business solutions. Statoil recently announced two tennis sponsorship initiatives, becoming the new title sponsor for the Statoil Masters Tennis, the ATP World Tour's Champions Tennis Tournament at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and also sponsoring leading British player Heather Watson, who is an ambassador in the UK for Statoil's Heroes of Tomorrow programme. Heather said: "This sport has given me so much. Partnering with Statoil to support 'Heroes of Tomorrow', will allow me the opportunity to help other children get involved, learn to play tennis and gain some great life experiences." John Knight added: "Statoil are proud to sponsor a talented young sportswoman like Heather who is just at the beginning of an exciting career. We hope that our support can play a small part in her future success and that other youngsters will be inspired by her hard work and commitment." The Statoil Masters Tennis will take place between Wednesday 5th and Sunday 9th December when Tim Henman will defend the title he won for the first time last year. http://www.statoilmasterstennis.com
