Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the Programme Committee, I welcome you

to the SPE London Annual Conference themed ‘Oil and Gas Industry in a New Epoch.

Each price down cycle in the oil and gas industry brings its own challenges. However, a sharp drop in oil

prices in late 2014, after more than five years of an up cycle with oil prices hovering around $100 a barrel

mark, led to one of the most uncertain and volatile periods for the industry players and investors in the

sector. Following a historic decision towards the end of 2016 by major OPEC and non–OPEC producers

to cut production, prices recovered and a floor price of around US$50 a barrel appears to have been

established after a roller-coaster ride of more than two years. Their recent decision to extend these

production cuts until March 2018 is a further step towards rebalancing the global crude oil market. This

new epoch brings new challenges and uncertainties for the industry players and investors alike, as the

industry begins to recover from a period of reduced E&P activity, job cuts, and lack of funding.

Keynote speakers from the financial sector and the industry will share their views on global and regional

energy market trends, impact of economic policies, climate change commitments, and energy usage

on the oil and gas industry. In the past two years, the industry players have faced a dramatic drop in

investments and funding. Individual conference sessions will focus on the financing landscape, mature

provinces of the North Sea and West Africa, and other upstream project hotspots.

I hope you will find these sessions engaging and take the opportunity to pose questions to our panel of

experts and take part in stimulating discussions.

We look forward to meeting you at the conference.

12:30 – 13:30 Lunch

13:30 – 15:00 Panel Session: The End Game/Mature Provinces (North Sea, West Africa)

Session Chairs:

Dr. Carolina Coll, LSBU; Madhav Kulkarni, Marathon Oil Roger Esson, Decom North Sea

Operators are confronted with decisions of whether to sell mature assets, invest in the modernisation of the asset, or incur the cost of decommissioning. Mature assets have become strategic acquisitions for low cost operating companies with the support of the financial sector that has also moved focus from exploration-appraisal stage and pre-development acquisitions financing to mature assets acquisitions where production exists and value can be quickly monetised through lower cost production. Mature assets have a long production history with operating infrastructure potentially close to its design life. For mature assets, the main risk for economic viability is often related to the aging of the facilities impacting availability and downtime, in addition to well integrity issues such as sand production, erosion, flow assurance, corrosion and lack of production optimisation technologies.

Multi-billion dollar transactions in the UK mature asset arena during 2016, demonstrate continued interest and economic viability of these assets. On the other hand, West Africa o¢shore developments have witnessed slowdowns with the lack of financing compounded by lower commodity prices and risk perception. As operations of the mature assets transition to smaller producers, the focus appears to be on optimising field output and opportunities to defer multimillion dollar decommissioning costs. This session focusses on both the opportunities and real world concerns related to mature assets with strategic focus on North Sea and West Africa.

Session Chair:

Ramin Lakani, HARPS Holdings

• Overview of upstream ‘Hotspots’ in the past couple of years

• Which companies and countries have made a significant impact despite the challenging environment?

• Looking ahead, what is likely to be ‘Hot’ in the next couple of years?

• This session will look at winning Themes, Technologies, Projects, Countries, Basins and Individuals

As the industry adjusts to the energy prices and activities pick up, we will take a close look at the ‘Hotspots’ in the Upstream world. There have been signs that exploration activities could pick up and counter cyclic investors might look at new acreage. We will examine technological innovations and project financing ideas that could make a di¢erence in our industry. As always, when there is volatility and uncertainty, there are winners and losers. This session will bring you three speakers to talk about what has been ‘Hot’ in the past year and what might be even ‘Hotter’ in the near future.
