A comprehensive look at the industry’s past and future in the North Sea will be highlighted at this year’s AAPG European Region conference, set Oct. 5-7 at the Hotel Bristol in Oslo,
Norway.
The meeting’s theme is “The North Sea After 40 Years,” and organizers have crafted a technical program centered on the question:
After over 40 years of varied upstream activity, what are the key lessons from
the North Sea to take forward in the future?
To do this, the conference will focus on five main themes:
- Exploration and production innovation.
- Technological development.
- Environmental protection.
- Attracting and developing the next generation.
- Fiscal and commercial structures and incentives.
“The quality of the technical program is outstanding and I am very happy that the
technical program committee has been able to attract such high level speakers
covering all the most important aspects of the North Sea,” said Geir Lunde, conference general chair.
“Geologists should be attracted and excited at the opportunity to participate in
such an event where important learning points and attractive opportunities for
the future are presented and discussed in two effective days,” he said.
“My personal view is that the North Sea will be one of the world’s best places to test out and prove new value adding technologies both within
exploration and production in mature provinces,” he added. “Companies active in the North Sea will be among the first to harvest from this
development.”
The program includes presentations on all the latest activities, techniques and
technologies that are part of the North Sea story. Some of the highlights
include:
- A look at the history of the North Sea.
- Maintaining production and development in some of the mature giant oil fields by
major IOCs.
- The latest applications of technology.
- A panel discussion with representatives from the UK, Netherlands, Denmark and
Norway presenting their views on the region’s future.
- The role and status of E&P technology from a North Sea perspective.
- Several case studies and exploration stories.
