Increasing Energy Demands Economic development and growth in the new
member states Increasing demands in neighbouring countries
and regions (CIS, North Africa, Turkey) Energy supply competition with Asia and USA Increasing costs of (fossil) energy and raw
materials Longer and more complex supply chains
(technologically, politically)
Production shift to marginal fields and remote areas (Arctic, deep and ultra-deep waters)
Great technological challenges for exploration, production, transport & QHSE
Demand to mobilise energy saving potentials and develop renewable energy sources
Permanently higher energy prices levels
Economic Seminar – The impact of European Enlargement upon the Energy Market – Munich – 25-26 Janaury 2007 8
Infrastructure Priorities and Challenges New pipeline systems offshore and onshore Refurbished and capacity enhanced trans-
continental and regional distribution grids New sea transport systems with increased
loading facilities (LNG, CNG, Arctic) Supplementary supply from renewable energy
resources (wind, tide, waves, plants) Consequent use of energy saving potentials
(construction and automotive industries)
Construction of new offshore pipelines (Baltic Sea and across the Mediterranean Sea)
Utilisation of large energy saving potentials esp. in East and SE European States
Secure supplies and diversification
Innovation and investment friendly political environments plus technological acceptance in the society
Faster project realisation
Leading edge technologies
Economic Seminar – The impact of European Enlargement upon the Energy Market – Munich – 25-26 Janaury 2007 9
Technological Challenges ExPro in Arctic regions – platforms, terminals, tankers, icebreakers Deep and ultra-deep water subsea production without surface
installations – automation technology, robotics Enhanced lifetimes, automated operation, supervision and intervention Increased TQM/QA and lifetime management requirements Significant cost reduction for offshore wind energy production –
foundations, construction, maintenance, aquaculture combination Development of additional oceanic renewable energy resources –
tides, waves, currents, thermal Research and test exploration of marine gas (methane) hydrates
(and minerals)
Strong need for increased RTD, education, skilled personnel,innovation and investment friendly political environments plus technological acceptance in the society
Economic Seminar – The impact of European Enlargement upon the Energy Market – Munich – 25-26 Janaury 2007 10
Environmental Challenges Construction and operation in hazardous areas ExPro in environmentally extremly sensitive areas (Arctic, deep water) Rare baseline knowledge (Arctic and deep water ecosystems) Reduction of emissions – especially chronic pollutants Increased TQM/QA and lifetime management requirements Increased observational and surveillance needs Improved forecasting capabilities Man made climate change and impact reduction – CO2 sequestion Almost now knowledge on impacts of large scale marine renewable
energy production Almost unknown impacts of exploration of marine gas hydrates
