The oil and gas industry can be an enabler for the transition to a net zero economy: powering the delivery of new wind farms, driving the creation of hydrogen and carbon storage economies, enabling healthy and productive lives. In order to achieve this transition, it is important to look at the Industry’s own carbon footprint and find options to minimise emissions. This presentation will focus on the role of technology and innovation in unlocking decarbonisation opportunities, integrating offshore energy sources and transitioning to a net zero offshore industry that supports national goals.

Production from the UK is expected to decline from 2020 for the first time in seven years. Based on existing assets, fields under development and those considered commercial for development, current production forecasts fall 700,000 boepd short of the OGA’s target of one million boepd in 2035. In this presentation Westwood Energy will discuss the three main areas and the associated challenges and opportunities in reducing this decline.

Digital transformation, functional safety and cyber security are often discussed in isolation in the process control industry. However, data, analytics and remote access, are now used to improve safety, reduce cost and increase efficiency of assets, this merges these areas and they should collectively be discussed as segments of the digital solution. This conference jointly organised by InstMC and SPE Aberdeen will provide a forum for discussing the issues with subject matter experts, leaving you with ideas to consider and workable solutions.
