PLENARY II TECHNOLOGY- THE KEY TO FINDING AND PRODUCING DIFFICULT HYDROCARBONS

Moderators:

Charlie Williams, Chief Scientist, Well Engineering, Production Technology
Shell International Exploration and Production Technology

Technology has been the backbone and heart of the drilling and completions industry's ability to find and produce oil and gas in ever more difficult places and circumstances. The industry is achieving tasks today that 20 years ago it could not even imagine accomplishing. However, the challenges in finding and producing hydrocarbons today have become even more difficult both technically and economically. The risks and cost are higher, drilling equipment is being tested to its fullest capabilities, completion technologies have become more complex and challenging, the need for higher operating efficiencies has become even more critical, and the need for emerging technologies has never been greater. In this plenary session, we will present and discuss the use of technology in discovering and producing difficult to find hydrocarbons.

Panelists:

Hesketh Streeter, Vice President- Energy Consulting for Latin America, Wood Mackenzie
Gregers Kudsk, Vice President, Engineering and Projects, Maersk Contractors
Derek Mathieson, President and CEO, WellDynamics
Mark B. Puckett, President, Chevron Energy Technology Company
Merrilee C. Gordon, Vice President - Upstream Shell Global Solutions
