A host of operators will present their views on prospective focus areas for the UK oil and gas technology development at the ITF Technology Showcase being held in collaboration with Oil & Gas UK on 5 March. The conference and exhibition, which is supported by the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the UK Technology Strategy Board, enables technology innovators to network with key figures in the industry and discuss the challenges around unlocking the remaining reserves on the UK continental shelf (UKCS).
The recent Wood Review highlighted that technology would play a vital role in recovering the estimated 24 billion barrels of reserves in the UK North Sea reporting “an urgent need for industry to focus in-depth on the five or six most critical technology challenges.” Leading industry figures from operators and major service companies including AMEC, BP, Chevron, CNR International, Fairfield Energy, GE Oil & Gas, Nexen-CNOOC and Shell, will outline the most pressing technology issues facing the sector at the event at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.
The conference programme includes four key focus areas, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), digital monitoring for production efficiency and integrity, increased oil recovery (IOR) and advanced materials and corrosion.
