OGUK, OEUK or UKOOA?

All the same certificate. Oil & Gas UK became Offshore Energies UK in 2021, and before 2007 the standard was owned by UKOOA. Clinics near London may advertise any of these names — the medical is identical.

Do you also need an ENG1?

If your work takes you to sea on a ship as well as offshore to an installation, you may need a current ENG1 alongside your OEUK certificate — they cover different things. See ENG1 vs ML5 vs OEUK.
