SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference 2015

02.11.2015

Staff members of “UNTC” LLC took part in the SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference, held in Moscow on October 26-28.

This year the conference offered an extensive technical programme that included panel and plenary sessions, various technical sessions, round tables, topical lancheons and other events.

This year as a motto, traditionally setting the tone of the whole conference, the quotation by Christophe de Margerie “The end of the oil era is still far away…” (Le peak oil n'est plus vraiment d'actualité...) was chosen.

It is no revelation to say that the time of “easy” oil and gas is over for all countries including Russia. The complexity of production increases every year and resource depletion becomes more prevalent for the industry. However, replacement of major hydrocarbon resources, or their complete elimination in the energy mix of today’s world is impossible. Oil and gas companies are actively exploring offshore, in remote and autonomous fields, in hard to recover reserves and searching for the new reserves. They also build partnerships to tackle the increasingly difficult challenges they have to face. To meet their objectives, companies require the most modern equipment, software, effective production techniques, and emerging technologies. The current industry demands are reflected in the list of the conference themes:

·         Search of New Reserves. New in Direction Exploration

·         Fast Tracking Field Development

·         R&D and Innovations for Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production

·         Advanced Equipment, Materials and Software

·         Drilling Rigs and Specialized Equipment

·         Oil and Gas Production Equipment and Technologies, etc.

The SPE Russian Petroleum Technology Conference  welcomed not only experienced specialists, experts from oil and gas companies, higher education institutes and research centers, but also novice specialists, students and the younger generation, for whom a number of interesting events was organized: a Young Professional Session, a Regional Student Paper Contest, etc.

We would like to thank the organizers and coordinators of the conference for the excellent event management.
