SPE brings you two 45 minute panel sessions that will represent two different perspectives from the investors and operators in the region.
Business drivers are many and varied. Economic (cost efficiencies, new pricing regime/market trends/effects on E&P Industry, business sustainability, operational efficiency) Regulatory (reserves classification system, environmental) and unplanned (Covid-19). Success depends on many factors and how they are mitigated. This panel will look at how Operators and Investors have seen these challenges and coped with the fast-changing landscape they operate in.
A look into the future, 15-20 years from now. What will the Energy Industry look like? What are the areas that need to evolve? How will the current ‘Energy’ companies need to change? How will the Industry need to change to handle the many external factors affecting the Industry (ESG, Social pressures, Environment, climate change)?
Leading to progress and prosperity, both effective data management and human capital development have been mainstream activities in the oil and gas industry over the last decade. The Internet of Things, Machine Learning, Big Data and most of the digital trends are widely deployed in the oil and gas industry, having ensured the data governance, quality and security. The main presentations of this session will therefore focus on various innovations in a data cycle, agile solutions, frameworks, and digital case studies for effective data management. The second part of the session is devoted to human capital development, which remains the essential driver of organisation’s operational efficiency. Any fast-evolving digital changes have impacted labour markets worldwide and have caused a need for a stronger focus on human capital. Therefore, session participants will be sharing the successes and failures they have experienced in both streams and the opportunities they have discovered on their way.

In today’s Energy landscape organisations need to build and maintain a high-performance workplace. They need to attract, identify, develop, engage, retain and deploy individuals who are considered particularly valuable to their organisation. An efficient and competitive recruitment process with a clear Employee Value Proposition will attract quality individuals, reduce attrition and improve productivity. However, the whole process of employment is a collaboration between the Employer and the mass market – education is key.
Presenters will cover various oil and gas production topics and provide invaluable learnings based on hands on experience. They will talk about how surveillance data helped to make positive business decision, how they overcame with wax and paraffin depositions and enhanced the integrity of wellhead choke valves. Moreover, you learn how they benefitted by application of plunger lift, conformance control completion and acid stimulation.

As the era of light oil is passing away, the industry is faced by an ultimate challenge of not only finding new promising areas of hydrocarbon deposits, both by standard methods and new technologies, but also to maximise the extraction of hydrocarbons from existing fields through a better understanding of reservoir physics. In this session, you will see work on substantiation of the principles to search for new traps based on the analysis of salt tectonics compaction / movement in the Pri-Caspian basin. Next, new biomarker analysis technologies will be presented to identify related trap deposits and possible search for promising areas using hydrocarbon migration model based on examples from Pri-Caspian basin fields. The last presentation will be devoted to the study of the fractures influence on well performance in Kashagan offshore field in the northern part of Caspian Sea.

During the development and production phases, geoscientists and formation evaluation experts are critical for characterising the reservoir architecture and describing the subsurface uncertainty. Geologic interpretation and subsurface data strive to reduce uncertainty through assessing risks and acquiring the appropriate data. However, the Caspian region’s hydrocarbon reservoirs are challenging in terms of drilling and acquiring log data. This section will discuss modern approaches to drilling and logging both maximise data acquisition and optimise the expected production of the wells.
