SPE event

After more than 2 decades of talk, multiple millions of dollars in investments, and a decade’s worth of joint industry projects, operators are starting to get on board with electrification as the base case for subsea solutions.

For those who can't make it to Dubai to attend this year's Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) on 21–23 September, the SPE has you covered. Virtual registrations covering all 3 days of ATCE are now available.

Over the course of 2 days, top energy and non-energy executives join OTC Board members to dissect and discuss future and current challenges facing an industry in the beginnings of substantial change.

The technical papers to be presented have been peer-selected to guide attendees in understanding and applying innovative and cost-effective technologies in all aspects of the industry throughout the life cycle of an asset.

Ali Al Jarwan, CEO of Dragon Oil, talked recently about how his company has survived the changes of 2020 and how he expects ATCE to reflect the resilience of companies to these changes.

The organizers of SPE Offshore Europe 2021 have announced that the show’s face-to-face event is moving to 1–4 February 2022 at P&J Live, Aberdeen, and the conference will be held virtually 7–10 September 2021.

A lot has been learned about shale, but those working to eke out oil from that ultratight rock still extract more value from data than physics.

An ATCE presentation outlined how staged field development can help make smaller oil discoveries commercial alongside existing engineering solutions.

An ATCE session focused on subsea and offshore subsurface applications with much wider implications. The discussion included the electrification of both facilities and subsurface systems, as well as more-extensive deployment of sensing and flow control from the surface to the reservoir.
