ADIPEC PANEL SESSIONS | 10 - 13 NOVEMBER 2014


CONFERENCE OPENING CEREMONY

Monday, 10 November 2014 • 11:30 – 12:00 hrs

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Michio Kaku, Physicist Oxy

Attendance at the Opening Ceremony wil l include senior management from ma jor petroleum related companies, representativesfrom government ministries and departments, and engineering and technical industry professionals.

MINISTERIAL PANEL SESSION: Developing In-Country Value

Monday, 10 November 2014 • 12:00 – 13:30 hrsThe panel will debate how developing and sustaining local content can most effectively be achieved at a pace and in a manner

that meets the needs of the region.

This panel session will revolve around the government’s efforts in transforming today’s oil wealth into a broader framework,

investing in the country’s people - particularly on youth - with a focus on technical skills, training and developing technicalprofessionals who are qualified and capable of working both in the country and abroad.

Education, training, experience and business development in the manufacturing and service sectors are essential to create

employment and feed into growth of regional economies. However, developing in country value is not without its challenges asboth established businesses and entrepreneurs reconcile local content desires and responsibilities with constraints related to

capital, quality and service delivery, technology, supply chain, and human capital.

EXECUTIVE PLENARY SESSION I: Challenges and Opportunities

for the Next 30 Years – Innovation and LeadershipMonday, 10 November 2014 • 15:00 – 17:00 hrs

Moderator: Abdul Munim Saif Al-Kindy, ADCO

This session will focus on leadership development, strategy, creativity and innovation as a means to successfully delivering the

energy future against the challenges of the changing energy landscape and the need for collaboration. This panel session will

debate on the biggest challenge the industry faces today and the solutions around innovation and leadership for today.

EXECUTIVE PLENARY SESSION II: Challenges and Opportunities

for the Next 30 Years – Technology and SustainabilityTuesday, 11 November 2014 • 09:00 – 11:00 hrs

This panel session will focus on how new technologies can accelerate results, deliver a sustainable competitive advantage and open

new frontiers. CEOs will share how their respective organizations have developed and embraced sustainable improvement in practice.

PANEL SESSION 1: NOC/IOC Collaboration in Mature FieldsTuesday, 11 November 2014 • 11:30 – 13:30 hrsSession Chair: Omar Suwaina Al Suwaidi, ADNOC

Energy is a growth industry. Driven by population growth and continued economic growth, global energy demand is expected

to increase by approximately 35% by 2040. M eeting this demand growth is increasingly challenging, but also createsopportunities. Much of the world’s remaining supplies of oil and gas are found in remote locations, extreme climates or

technically challenging reservoirs – with significant reserves remaining in mature fields.

In the myriad dimensions that shape the worldwide market for energy, what role will NOC-IOC partnerships play to reflect the

resource challenges that are particularly acute in the development of mature fields? How to optimize the application of enhancedoil recovery technology to increase hydrocarbon recovery and value – while balancing risks and rewards? How to further develop

human resources, build capacity and increase collaboration to rise to the challenge? And how to develop resources in a way that not

only maximizes value, but also realizes the national vision for economic, social and environmental progress over the long term?

We have assembled a varied panel of experts who can cover all of these aspects – technical, commercial, human resources,environment and strategic. The panel will debate the NOC/IOC collaboration in fields in an informative and interactive way.

PANEL SESSION 2: Achieving Excellence in Capital ProjectsTuesday, 11 November 2014 • 15:00 – 17:00 hrs

Session Chairs: Aqeel Madhi, NPCC and Abdulaziz Al Ameri, GASCO

With the increasing demand for capital projects and qualified resources and funding constraints in the current financial climate,organisations worldwide are looking for a better ways to tender, execute, manage and deliver their portfolios. High performance

in capital projects and excellent project management has become imperative in the curricula of achieving project excellence.

Effective project management starts at early project stages with smooth transition of responsibility from owner to contractor

during bidding and executing capital projects, where project definition and work scope have to be clearly defined. Thus,

Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) is essential to be fully developed by owner.

Contractors are practically made to take the risk while endorsing the FEED document for any lapses and inaccuracies/ deficiencies in the FEED if discovered during execution stage which may cause considerable design growth, changes in material

specification, and construction requirements, etc. These changes proved very costly to contractor on account of both cost and

time required for execution of the additional works and eventually effecting overall project completion.

This is the result of uneven risk distribution in which owner is transferring project risk as well as other onerous contractual termsand condition onto EPC contractors. In an EPC contract it is essential to determine a realistic risk sharing scheme i.e. identify

risks which are foreseen by and are largely within the control of owner and that of contractor. Such risks should be borne bythe respective parties who can control it. Proper risk and reward provisions need to be incorporated in the EPC contract for any

shared risk to ensure that risk-takers have adequate opportunities to be profit-makers. Factors which are beyond the control

of the EPC contractor should be kept as reimbursable/re-measurable sum, or the maximum risk to be borne by the contractorcould be capped to a specified limit.

The path to achieve project excellence is challenging, but the rewards are achievable through improved approach to project

management of major capital projects such as identification and defining of critical success factors, project success criteria,

effective contracting strategies including risk sharing and utilising proven designs across multiple projects driven by stronglycommitted and motivated leadership from owners and contractors.

PANEL SESSION 3: Attracting and Developing Talent for the

Next 30 yearsWednesday, 12 November 2014 • 09:00–11:00 hrs

Session Chairs: Andrew Vaughan, Shell and Daisuke Urasaki, JODCO

The challenges facing the industry over the next 30 years will require a talented workforce who are able to develop

and apply increasingly sophisticated technology to the issues of finding and producing increasingly complex and scarce hydrocarbonresources. It is almost certain that the numbers of skilled engineers, technicians and operators needed will rise at a time when, in

some countries, there is a decline in young people seeking technical careers. In addition, where once, the industry relied heavilyon OECD expatriate expertise, there is now a justifiable desire for oil producing nations to develop indigenous talent. This panel will

examine the roles and responsibilities of governments, academic institutions and industry in developing the talent of the future.

PANEL SESSION 4: Unconventional Resources: Challenges and

Opportunities - Focus on the Middle EastWednesday, 12 November 2014 • 11:30 – 13:30 hrs

Session Chairs: Musabbeh Al Kaabi, Mubadala Petroleum and Stephen Lloyd, Oxy

Unconventional resources make up almost two-thirds of the world’s hydrocarbon resources (USEIA, 2013). Unconventional

resources exist as tight gas, coal bed methane, shale gas, shale oil, and methane hydrates, to name a few. Fifty-six percent of

the world oil reserves are held in the Middle East (Forbes, 2014), which also has enormous untapped potential in unconventional

reservoirs. Demand for fuels is rising, and that means finding new fields in known basins or applying new technology to get more

out of established ones, or both, of course. Nowhere is this reality more critical than in the Middle East, where there is a fast

emerging focus on unconventional resources, along with specialised techniques for successful evaluation and development of

these resources. The goal of this session is to demonstrate the capabilities of modern technologies for economically and efficiently

evaluating, developing, producing and managing hydrocarbons in unconventional reservoirs. The following topics are emphasised:

• Technical innovations to drive down costs: Pad drilling, specialised bits, fracture stimulation treatments, casing designs

• Infrastructure accessibility and future developments to spur growth

• Shortening the learning curve: Identifying and targeting “sweet spots” within individual plays, diagnostic shale properties that

distinguish unconventional targets, geochemical and reservoir considerations, role of natural fractures

• What’s needed to establish commercial viability: Fiscal terms and legislation, recognition of break-even gas prices, role of

NOCs versus IOCs, unconventional reservoirs decline rates, can unconventional (specially oil) compete with the enormous oil

reserves in the region?

• Applicability of U.S. models for increasing efficiencies, scale, and improving economics

• Reservoir constraints: Determining ideal lateral length, number of stages, pressure decline rates, target depths

• Fluid demands and aquifer considerations: Number/types of options available; tolerance for salinity and other chemistry and/

or contaminants

• Future gas needs to support demand: Increasing consumption, country-specific gas policies, gas usage, and outlooks

PANEL SESSION 5: Energy Security, Market Supply and DemandWednesday, 12 November 2014 • 15:00 – 17:00 hrs

Session Chairs: Christopher Hudson, DMG and Li Yueqiang, CNPC

With the oil and gas industry seeing a number of new and emerging markets we take a look at what supply and demand scenarioswill look like post 2014 and how new commercial supply hubs will need to align with customer needs. At the same time the

industry needs to address the balance of ongoing investment into conventional and unconventional exploration and production

to ensure a continued and increasing supply of oil and gas for both local domestic and export fulfillment.

Foreign energy policy and international energy cooperation remain high on the oil and gas agenda. Taking this into account, how

can we expect governing bodies to continue driving international dialogue on energy security? How can we expect to see their

role develop and adapt in the next 10-15 years?

PANEL SESSION 6: HSE-Aligning Cultures, Communication

and CompetenceThursday, 13 November 2014 • 09:00 – 11:00 hrs

Session Chairs: Hatem Nuseibeh, Total and Nabil Al Alawi, Al Mansoori

The oil and gas industry is experiencing an unprecedented growth, as the global energy demand continues to rise. The growth

has brought with it great opportunities and challenges. The industry will be tested by the technical challenges of post “easy oil”

era and the concerted international awareness for more responsible developments where Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)

are considered at the centre of these challenges.

The key HSE challenges that organisations’ are confronted with during this period of growth, are the lack of experienced

manpower along with the difficulty of recruiting and developing competent personnel with a strong commitment towards HSE.

The theme of ADIPEC 2014 HSE panel is “Aligning Cultures, Communication and Competence’ aimed at sharing best practices

amongst organization on how to deal with the vast number of nationalities amalgamating into teams, with distinct cultural

backgrounds and differing levels of risk appreciation, ultimately aligning HSE expectations and policies.

This HSE panel welcomes experts to highlight their achievement and world class excellence in HSE performance, free of

incidents and ill health, with a sustainable environment. Speakers are invited to address the various issues of green hands,

competence, aligning cultures and expectations from previous experiences with best practice initiative and remedial actions

taken. As well as to showcase the significant improvements that have been achieved during the past decade on personal safety,

competence, communication and culture, with the associated analysis and limitations of the initiatives adopted.

New ideas are welcome on how to achieve the required HSE goals and to implement a strong sustainable ‘HSE culture’ within

the industry.

PANEL SESSION 7: Research and Technology DevelopmentThursday, 13 November 2014 • 11:30 – 13:30 hrs

Session Chairs: Hussein Fouad El Ghazzawy, Schlumberger and Neri Askland, Statoil

Exploiting hydrocarbons from the deep reaches of the earth has been no easy task. The scale of innovation required rivals those

in any other high technology industry. It is well known in the industry today that most of the “easy oil” has been discovered and the

task to produce and recover more hydrocarbons is becoming harder. Presently, oil and gas exploration is focused increasingly on

finding resources located in more geologically complex, deeper, and lower-quality reservoirs.

As the quantity and the quality of the remaining recoverable reserves slowl y diminishes while our desire to minimi ze

environmental impact is strengthening, it has become vitally important for the industry to put more focus on Research &

Development to develop technologies to serve every aspect of the well and reservoir life cycle from exploration, development

and production through to abandonment.

The sources of technology destined for the oil and gas markets have changed over time. The era where oil & gas companies

used to buy versus build new technologies have changed significantly throughout the last decades. The ever increasing industry

challenges have prompted the oil & gas companies to change their research & development strategies and partner with

technology providers to develop new technologies faster.

Global energy demand will be significantly increasing with time meanwhile the oil & gas reserves are becoming more expensive

to produce. The activities in research and development and new technology have become increasingly imperative to address the

challenges facing our industry, and new technology and innovation are key elements for the successful development of oil and

gas reserves.

The major industry challenge now is to encourage research and development activity and to promote dialog between

industry and research groups with the aim of matching industry needs with research and development activities and

to ensure capabilities and resources used most effectively by addressing the highest priority business needs.

PANEL SESSIONS



ADIPEC PANEL SESSIONS | 10 - 13 NOVEMBER 2014

PANEL SESSION 8: Improving Hydrocarbon Recovery Factor:

Why and How?Thursday, 13 November 2014 • 14:00 – 16:00 hrs

Session Chairs: Martin Bremeier, Wintershall and Ahmad Saqer Al Suwaidi, ADMA-OPCO

Hydrocarbons (conventional and unconventional) are likely to remain the main energy needed to meet the growing global energy

demand in the next 30 years. The worldwide production of crude oil could potentially drop by nearly 30-40 million B/D in the

next 5-10 years from existing projects due to natural depletion of current fields and lack of new discoveries and an additional

25 million B/D of oil will need to be produced for the supply to keep pace with consumption.

Scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations are needed, not only to secure supply of affordable and economical

hydrocarbons, but also to minimize the environmental impact of hydrocarbon recovery and utilization. Sustaining the required

production levels over the duration of the lifecycle requires a good understanding of and the ability to control the recovery

mechanisms involved.For primary recovery (i.e. natural depletion of reservoir pressure), the life cycle is generally short and the average recovery factor

does not exceed 20% in most cases. For secondary recovery relying on either natural or artificial water or gas injection, the

incremental recovery ranges from 15 to 25%.

Globally, the overall recovery factors for combined primary and secondary recovery range between 35 and 45%. Hence,

increasing the recovery factor of maturing projects by 10 to 30% could contribute significantly to the much-needed energy

supply. To accomplish this operators and service companies need to find innovative ways to achieve this while minimizing

operational costs and environmental impact.

SPECIAL SESSION I: Security ChallengesWednesday, 12 November 2014 • 09:00 – 11:00 hrs

Moderator: Riemer Brouwer, ADCO

The broad proliferation of software systems by the oil and gas industry to carry out sensitive and critical missions has raised the

concerns about ensuring the reliability, safety, and security of such systems. Establishing confidence in software systems used

by oil and gas industry is extremely critical as it is directly linked to the public and environmental safety, international energymarket stability, oil and gas supply chain, and confidentiality of information.

Additionally, establishing confidence in software systems is essential to reduce the risk associate d with the huge investments by

the oil and gas industry in the discovery, development, drilling, production, and processing facilities that employ such software

systems. Ensuring the security of software systems becomes more crucial given the current open and complex interconnected

infrastructures of these systems. These open and interconnected environments have consistently invited various malicious

activities that threaten the peaceful operations of information processing systems. Vulnerabilities associated with these systems

cannot be completely removed, and as a result, successful attacks are always launched against computing systems.

Although current computer infrastructures employ advanced protective techniques like firewalls, access controls, and cryptographic

mechanisms, these systems are susceptible to attacks due to the following reasons. First, security loopholes will always be present

even in the implementation of the protective systems. Second, it is difficult to build a complete, effective, and long term security

infrastructure due to the dynamic nature of the information systems infrastructures. This dynamic nature is driven by the need to

continuously upgrade, change, deploy, or remove some parts of the legacy systems. Moreover, malicious attacks against computing

systems are increasing in terms of sophistication and novelty. The panel will address the following three major information security

challenges facing the oil and gas industry today, ensuring an IT zero tolerance strategy that would guarantee continuous and safe

global energy supply: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems security, Zero-Day vulnerabilities, and Advanced

Persistent Threat (APT).

Enterprises, especially fully integrated energy companies, are collecting and retaining more data than they did a decade ago.

Data is now being produced at increasing rates – driven by quantum leaps in the capacity for storage and available processing

power, huge amounts of data are being made available for analysis.

Oil and Gas (O&G) companies have realized the competitive advantages that can be gained by utilizing useful and timely

information. O&G Companies have traditionally focused their efforts on automation and building efficient data gathering systems.

These systems succeeded in streamlining and automating data gathering, installing sensors, digitizing oilfields and in many

cases eliminating manual data entry, providing decision-makers quicker access to data.

However, in order to maximize Return on Investment, O&G Companies need to shift focus and build strategies around what is

now being termed as “Big Data”. This part of the panel will discuss the challenges of collecting, governing and retaining the

ever increasing data volumes and the opportunities that big data can provide to decision-makers.

SPECIAL SESSION III: IT Complexity, Infrastructure and

Technology Outlook ChallengesWednesday, 12 November 2014 • 15:00 – 17:00 hrs

Moderator: Yanni Charalambous, OXY

The ever growing number and variety of new technologies, products, and vendors coupled with aggressive business demand

and rigid legacy IT environments is po sing a threat to business growth, agility, safety, and innovation. Enterprises are struggling

with the daunting task of managing and controlling a chaotic technology landscape while staying in-line with business plans and

execution strategies. This is clearly evident in the oil and gas industry where integration between legacy IT systems and new

technologies in support of exploration and production of new energy sources.

Taking a holistic view and approach to this challenge involves tackling challenges in multiple areas at the same time, but mainly

in agility, capacity and growth, interoperability, regulatory and compliance, security, technology refresh, safety, data management,

and overall productivity. The enterprise architecture (EA) practice aspires to tackle this challenge i n a pragmatic and structured

approach and acts as an overarching umbrella that governs and facilitates technology change to meet business growth and

agility needs. In the past decade, the enterprise architecture practice has been going through growing pains and maturing in

better defining itself, its boundaries, and its mode of operation. Standards in the EA field had as well matured and gained wide

adoption, many of which proved to be successful, when properly implemented and governed, in aiding large enterprises steer

through technology and business uncertainty. This part of the panel will discuss the IT Demands growth, agility while maintaining

adequate security and technology interoperability.

INDUSTRY BREAKFAST SESSION I: UAE Country FocusTuesday, 11 November 2014 • 07:30 – 09:00 hrs

Moderator: Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, ADNOC

As a result of the major expansion of its activities in oil and gas exploration and produ ction, UAE today produces more than 2.8

million barrels of crude oil per day, putting it among the top oil producing countries in the world. Plans are underway to produce

3.5 million barrels per day by 2017.

This session will share an overview of the activities carried out by the ADNOC group and one of the major supporting contractor

companies in their continuous efforts to support Abu Dhabi to be in a leading position as a reliable global energy supplier and in

the use of the latest technology in exploration, drilling, production and reservoir management, and at the same time promoting

sustainable development and international cooperation.

INDUSTRY BREAKFAST SESSION II: Accelerating Innovation in the

UAE with International R&D CentersWednesday, 12 November 2014 • 07:30 – 09:00 hrs

Moderator: Wafik Beydoun, ADNOC R&D Division

The process of innovation involves making research and development (R&D) a reality in terms of practical and/or commercial

applications. UAE’s Vision 2021 sees its economy into a model where growth is driven by knowledge and innovation: Productivityand competitiveness will come to rival the best in the world, as a result of investment in science, R&D and technology throughout

the fabric of the UAE economy.

The objective of this special session is for a panel of distinguished R&D/Technology leaders across the Energy sector to share

with us how international R&D centers (e.g., in IOCs, academia, service industry) can help accelerate the implementation of

innovation in the UAE, in line with UAE’s Vision 2021. They will entertain discussions on topics around global/local partnerships,

capabilities/talent development, academia/industry interactions, maturing and nurturing technologies from ideas to application,

technology transfer/startups, and sustainable R&D culture.

TOPICAL LUNCHEON SESSION II: Co2 Injection in Sequestration

and Improved Oil RecoveryWednesday, 12 November 2014 • 13:30 – 15:00 hrs

Moderator: Abbas Froozabadi, Yale University

Various studies indicate that petroleum and natural gas will remain the premium fuel of the next two to three decades, and

perhaps much longer. Burning of hydrocarbons produces a significant amount of CO2, which may result in increasing CO2

concentration of the atmosphere. There is ample evidence from the past 400,000 years that an increase in CO2 concentration

leads to global warming.

The CO2 produced from power plants and other sources, when captured, can be stored in the saline aquifers in the subsurface.

The CO2 can also be injected in many oil reservoirs to significantly increase oil recovery.

In this special session, unique features of CO2 in relation to sequestration in subsurface saline formations, CO2 injection in the

type of subsurface formations that can lead to substantial oil recovery, and modeling of the processes will be the focus of the

presentations. The institutional and environmental challenges will also be discussed. There will be three talks at the session

to cover unique features of CO2, past and present experiences with CO2 injection in some large subsurface formations, and

reliability of modeling tools available to the industry. Two major oil companies will discuss their experiences with injection of

CO2 for sequestration projects in the aquifers and in oil fields. Statoil will describe their extended experiences and results from

CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers. Petrobras presentation will cover CO2 injection in deep offshore Brazil. The presentation

from academia will also cover the type of oil fields that may benefit most from CO2 injection, and limitations and advances in

simulation software for reliable predictions.

INDUSTRY BREAKFAST SESSION III: Carbon Dioxide EOR, hosted

by the Energy Working Group of the UAE-UK Business CouncilThursday, 13 November 2014 • 07:30 – 09:00 hrs

TOPICAL LUNCHEON SESSION III: East AfricaThursday, 13 November 2014 • 13:30 – 15:00 hrs

Moderator: Jose Pereira, Partex

In the last 10 years, East Africa became the new frontier in the oil and gas industry.

Discoveries of world-class reserves and proximity of the increasingly demanding markets of Asia and the Far East turned a

region long ignored by international oil companies into a hub of frenetic activity and mushrooming opportunities.

From the hinterlands of South Sudan and Uganda, to the coastal and deep offshore areas of Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique

and South Africa, the energy world has turned its focus of interest to the East African Rift and the Indian Ocean Basins. Conventional

onshore and deep offshore, pre-salt and also unconventional shale prospects, are making a profound difference to a region marked

by energy poverty. And certainly the rest of the world, too, will see significant changes.

Such bounty to come raises a number of questions for the future of these countries and the world at large:

1. Is this perhaps the last chance for large scale conventional oil and gas discoveries?

2. What are the challenges and the opportunities?

3. What will be the impact in an undeveloped region characterized by drastic shortage of infrastructure and skilled workforce and lack of

experience in developing major export projects? How can local content and in-country valuebe developed?

4. In a continent well known for high corruption indexes and political instability, how can fairness and transparency prevail and

overall progress, development and welfare of the populations be secured?

5. Is such abundance a blessing or a curse (or both) for countries with some of the world’s largest GDP growth?
