Lou Daigle
General Manager Detailed Design
Well Intervention and P&A, Shell
Lou has been with Shell for over 15 years, currently the General Manager Detailed Design Well Intervention and P&A. Prior to this role, Lou served several roles in the Completion & Well Intervention discipline including Engineering Team Lead, Technical Lead, Lead Completion Design, Subsea Completion Engineer, and Well Test Engineer. He is currently the Principal Technical Expert for Well Interventions, Subsea Interventions SME, and Shell TA-1 for Interventions and Abandonments.
He has been a part of Shell’s growth from a GoM team of ~6 to a global team of ~50 dedicated to design and maturation of Intervention and abandonment, focusing on WRFM.
Prior to joining Shell Lou spent >6 years with Halliburton covering Well Testing, Perforating, Down Hole Tools, and Completions. Lou is a proud Ragin’ Cajun having graduated with a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering from University of Louisiana and a member of SPE since 1995.
When not working interventions, he enjoys time with his wife and two daughters, especially on the Gulf Coast, often found with a fishing pole in one hand and a “cold beverage” in the other.
With the Oil & Gas market facing a potential Supercycle where demand is out pacing supply, extending the life of an asset has become a key piece of the puzzle to meet this challenge. Selecting the right candidates for extension, methods of extension and optimizing OPEX are some of the factors that go into determining how and when an asset will be extended. In this session, we will explore these factors and the other benefits of Subsea Intervention to increase production on existing assets.

Matthew Nelson
Global Account Director
ExxonMobil and Chevron
Oilfield Equipment, Subsea and Surface
Baker Hughes
Matt is the Global Director for Subsea Oilfield Equipment, focused on providing the highest returns possible for operators throughout the lifetime of a subsea project, including the often-overlooked opportunities for subsea well intervention
Prior to his current position, Matt held various roles at ExxonMobil, Chevron, FMC Technologies, NOV Shaffer, and NASA JSC. Matt began his oil and gas career in equipment design before moving onto roles in engineering leadership, offshore operations, subsea drilling & completions, and procurement strategy.
Matt has broad international experience, having worked in North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. His entire career in the oil and gas industry has been in subsea wells, deep and shallow water with a focus on improving overall project returns through unique technical, operational, and commercial approaches.
What Opportunities are Knocking for the Future of Subsea Wells?
- How much oil will we still need in 20 years?
- What does a young person’s career in Oil & Gas look like?
- Are there strategies of reducing Green House Gasses which could benefit the industry?
- What impacts does this have on Operators and Service Providers now?
Panelists
- Rebecca Winkel, API, Senior Economic Advisor
- Mirick Cox, Retired ExxonMobil, Senior Principal Engineer
- Neil Crawford, VP Sales, Subsea Robotics and Oceaneering Projects Group, Oceaneering
- Molly Determan, Chief Operating Officer, Energy Workforce
New technologies, new equipment and intervention techniques are increasing the capability, efficiency and opportunities for subsea well interventions. This includes incremental improvements of well-established intervention methods as well as novel concepts. This session aims to share relevant case histories, focusing on the planning, risk management, execution, and results of a variety of subsea intervention technologies which push the envelope of what can be realized.

Well access demand is increasing due to several factors, increase in commodity price, desire for improved overall recovery, quicker response to increase production and, because of the increasing regulatory requirements to address decommissioning, lower cost access. With all of these factors in account this session intends to both assess some of the key applications of intervention and well access tools and techniques and, whilst detailing those operations, the intention is to focus discussion on merits and analysis of the techniques applied. The intention of the session is to address questions around the drivers for conducting subsea well operations and the benefits that can be gained from them.
