This year, the traditional update on North

Sea Exploration & Production is chaired by

Lennert Koch, Senior Analyst Europe with

Wood Mackenzie. The session offers an

overview of E&P activities of North Sea O&G

producers, puts results and expectations in a

historic perspective and discusses objectives

and results of the small fields policy. Hans

Ryckborst, Country Manager Netherlands of

Van Dyke Energy Company will talk about

how the Fallow Acreage Covenant has

been instrumental in Van Dyke Energy’s

development plans.

For the first time, Offshore Energy

looks at developments in East Africa.

The region holds great promise for natural

gas production. In little time, interest in

the region has grown as seismic data,

infrastructure and the political environment

are improving. Organized in cooperation

with the Netherlands Africa Business

Council, this session discusses East Africa’s

potential, business opportunities as well

as lessons learned by first movers.

A recurring conference theme is wave and

tidal energy. Chaired by Allard van Hoeken

of Bluewater Energy Services and with

contributions from Ferdinand Dees, Director

Offshore Operations of Mojo Maritime and

Niels Lange of SCHOTTEL the wave and tidal

session offers a quick scan of developments

in marine renewable energy, from advances

in turbines and generators to installation

vessels and operations.

Other technical sessions address innovations

in diver-less subsea installations and the

latest in shipbuilding and marine engineering

for the offshore industry.

Masterclasses:�Beyond�technical�skills�

A new feature at Offshore Energy is

the Masterclass. The “Personal Effective

Engineers Masterclasses: Beyond technical

skills” are designed for students and young

professionals who want to develop their

skills and achieve their full potential. They

are offered the opportunity to learn from

Masters in the industry in an interactive

setting. The Masterclasses are organized in

cooperation with de Baak, the institute for

leadership and entrepreneurship.

This year, Offshore Energy also incorporates

the fourth edition of Offshore WIND

Installation and Maintenance. Sessions in

this full day conference program focus

on cost reductions, transport and access

systems and designing for low maintenance.

Confirmed speakers include Martin Degen

of Fred. Olsen United, Jan van der Tempel

of Ampelmann Operations and Sander

Lensink of the Energy Research Centre

of the Netherlands.

Economic mission to Texas: Oil & Gas remains very important, Worldwide opportunities for Dutch Suppliers

This economic mission was headed by

Prime Ministers Mark Rutte (NL) and Kris

Peeters (BE), along with Melanie Schultz

van Haegen, Minister of Infrastructure and

Environment (NL) and Hilde Crevits, Minister

for Mobility and Public Works (BE).

Commonly known as “The Lone Star State”,

Texas is a key economic partner for both

the Netherlands and Flanders because of

its strong ties with the Oil, Gas, chemical

and petrochemical clusters in and around

Rotterdam, Antwerp and Houston. The group

of delegates was divided into 4 parties:

Oil & Gas, Ports, Chemical and Smart Grids.

With 55 companies the Oil & Gas group

was by far the largest delegation.

The Oil & Gas delegation visited Shell,

ExxonMobil, BP, Total USA, Halliburton and

Schlumberger. Next to these company visits

there were several networking events and

presentations from General Electric Oil &

Gas and Price Waterhouse Coopers.

In separate sessions, the very clear message

that emerged from all major players was

that shale oil and gas is creating a different

playing field. The worldwide demand will

grow, creating dependency on fossil sources

for the supply of energy.

Renewable energy is estimated to have

a share of 5% max in the total energy mix.

The market leaders in the oil and gas

industry also made it very clear that they

are investing tremendous amounts of

money in R&D programs and innovations

to make operations and products as safe

and environmentally friendly as possible.

For Dutch suppliers in the oil and gas

industry, these messages were more of a

confirmation of what they see happening

around the world. They know there are

lots of opportunities in countries outside

Europe like Australia, the Middle East,

Indonesia, Singapore, Mozambique,

Russia, Norway, Brazil, and Mexico.

It was good to have the government leaders

of The Netherlands and Flanders present

in Houston. They could then hear directly

what the fact based situation is with regards

to international energy supply and demand –

from some of the world’s largest companies.

This information, combined with the

capabilities of the Dutch, should help us as

suppliers in approaching those countries

outside Europe together with high profile

government representatives in future Oil

& Gas related trade missions.

The price difference for gas in the United

States, compared to the price in Europe

or Japan for instance, is leading to extra

progress in several energy consuming

industries in de US. They are starting

to compete with countries like China,

generating economic spin-off in several

parts of the country as well as setbacks

in other parts of the world. Truly a game

changer that brings a lot of opportunities

for Dutch suppliers, and probably food

for thought for politicians.

Column by Sander Vergroesen

Next to the unique setting of two high profile delegations from two

neighboring countries visiting Houston together at the same time,

the received information itself made this mission a great success

and was for many of the participants an eye opener. From July 7th

to the 9th more than 100 companies from The Netherlands and

Flanders (Belgium) visited the Capital of the Oil and Gas industry:

Houston, Texas. Sander�Vergroesen�Managing Director

at IRO (The Association of Dutch Suppliers

in the Oil and Gas Industry)

“Shale oil and gas is creating a different playing field.”

Human Capital PanelTuesday 16 October, 10.30 – 12.00 hrs, E104

A new feature of Offshore Energy, the Human Capital Panel

will address the impact of the current and especially pending

talent scarcity on the industry. A panel of students, industry

representatives and policy makers will discuss why few

students choose a tech career and what industry and industry

stakeholders can do to change this. The panel will discuss

solutions of individual companies as well as industry-wide

initiatives and the role of government and education.

The D&D Panel will discuss investment opportunities in oil

and gas, challenges in project financing as well as reserve

based lending and the latest cutting edge financing solutions

against the backdrop of the financial crisis. This first meeting

of its kind in The Netherlands brings together financial experts

from the upstream oil and gas industry value chain and private

and public financial institutions for a discussion on the quest

for alternative funding in oil and gas.

Dräger Marine & Offshore: A new name

As�of�1�July�2013,�Unisafe�Marine�

Firefighting�&�Safety�Equipment�changed�its�

name�officially�to�Dräger�Marine�&�

Offshore.�Although�their�name�has�changed,�

their�focus�will�remain�the�same:�delivery�

of�high�quality�products�and�services�for�

the�marine�and�offshore�markets.

Unisafe Marine Firefighting & Safety

Equipment has been a part of the

international Dräger Group for over

17 years. Dräger has offices in over 40

countries which are active in production,

sales, and service. 12,000 Dräger

employees are active in 190 countries.

On a global level, Dräger is one of the

market leaders in high quality safety and

medical equipment (www.draeger.com).

In addition to the name change, another

important event is about to happen for

Dräger Marine & Offshore. After 20 years,

and as of 12 August 2013, they will move

into a new sustainable building. The new

location is situated approximately 800 meters

from their previous office location. The new

building has been designed and built to meet

their processes and customer requirements

in the marine and offshore industry.

And it adheres to all modern requirements,

enabling Dräger Marine & Offshore to

fulfill high quality services in the field of

FireFighting, Rescue, and Safety (FRS).

as�well�as�oil�and�gas�facilities.

The heavy-lift jack-up vessel INNOVATION

is operating with great success in the

North Sea wind farm “Global Tech I”.

It was developed for multifunctional

offshore operations. Apart from working

around offshore wind farms, this vessel

can also be deployed to optimum effect

in the offshore gas and oil sector.

The highly sophisticated INNOVATION,

built in the CRIST shipyard in Poland,

was commissioned in August 2012.

An important contribution is made by the

four SCHOTTEL Rudder propellers, type SRP

3030 (3,500 kW each), and three SCHOTTEL

transverse thrusters, type STT 3030

(2,800 kW each). They move the vessel

at a speed of up to 12 knots and enable

dynamic positioning in accordance with

DP 2 requirements.

With a high-performance 1,500 ton crane

and a loading capacity of up to 8,000 tons,

the vessel enables the safe loading and

installation of wind turbines with a rated

capacity of 6 MW and more at heights

exceeding 120 m, as well as heavy

foundations at water depths up to 65 m.

Cabins for up to 100 persons, extendable

up to 180 persons, provide the living space

required for a working ship of this size.

With this all-in-one solution – from loading

to transport to installation – the 147.50 m

long and 42 m wide INNOVATION is capable

of operating flexibly and independently.

A word from our sponsors

Together we deliver results

“DylanGroup�will�be�present�at�the�Offshore�Energy�Exhibition�

and�Conference�for�the�third�time,�and�we�are�again�proud�

to�be�Gold�Sponsor�of�this�event.�Amsterdam�as�a�venue�is�

perfect.�As�the�capital�of�a�sea-faring�nation,�but�also�as�an�

international�hub�for�many�visitors�from�our�industry.

Since I joined DylanGroup as CEO, just over two years ago,

it has been my privilege to be part of an organization that

has come through the past years alive and kicking, and ready

for the future. Our employees are justifiably proud of the

products they manufacture and supply. Every day, they use

their specialist knowledge of sourcing, project management,

logistics and stock planning on behalf of our customers.

Together they deliver the results.

There is future in the offshore business too. In previous

companies, I have experienced the challenges of the steel

market and the offshore industry. DylanGroup has always

been active within the offshore and energy business, as one

of the major industries using steel piping. In the North Sea,

but also far beyond, in Singapore and Brasil.

One of our key values is transparency. In other words,

together with our customers, in an atmosphere of openness

and honesty, identifying a permanent or temporary solution.

Our attitude in such activities is extremely flexible. That is the

only way to truly assist a customer. He is looking for a partner

capable of supplying the total package, as well as offering

the necessary specialist advice and expert support. In other

words, “one-stop shopping” at the highest level.

I am looking forward to meeting new contacts and welcoming

them with a positive outlook, to finding new opportunities and

solutions for growth in the offshore and energy industries.”

I can see positive things happening in the future

“Croon�Elektrotechniek�has�always�been�an�electrical�

installation�company.�Implementation�was�our�strong�suit.�

These�days�market�demands�increasingly�ask�that�we�step�

in�earlier�in�the�process,�to�develop�and�produce�solutions.�

Advanced�knowledge�is�therefore�progressively�important�

in�our�work.�It�is�reflected�in�our�projects.

In 2012 we were involved in the construction of a pipe layer,

a drilling platform, an FPSO, a platform for wind energy and

a semi-submersible transport ship. Diverse projects that kept

us busy with engineering, installation, system integration

and maintenance. Currently, we are focusing mainly on oil,

and gas and wind energy, with an emphasis on maintenance,

repair, conversion and new construction. We distinguish

ourselves from our competitors by combining high performance

capacity with far-reaching expertise.

Much of our expertise can be found in-house. It’s just a

matter of singling it out. At Croon, we pay a lot of attention

to the knowledge sharing between the four business groups

operating within Croon (buildings, industry, infrastructure

and marine & offshore). We also invest in the knowledge

of our people. Last year alone we logged more than 66,000

hours of training for over 2,000 employees.

Looking out for our people is part of our corporate culture.

Safety could well be our highest priority. For contracts abroad

we always add security into our price. We are still fairly

unique in this, but I suspect that just about everyone will be

doing things this way in a few years. In the Marine & Offshore

world Corporate Social Responsibility is also slowly becoming

more important. Oil companies are making increasing demands

on their suppliers and at trade shows, like the Offshore Energy

2013, this subject is sure to get attention. This puts Croon in a

good position. Corporate Social Responsibility is in our DNA.

In a market where the hourly rates are severely stressed,

companies are taking on projects at too low a price and

competition is increasing, we remain relatively steady.

The future for Croon is looking very positive indeed.”
