PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTSExecutive Plenary Session: Progressing Intelligent Oil and Gas in a Low Price Environment Moderators:Majed Awaji, Saudi Aramco; Khalid Abdul Haq Abdul Samad, Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Petroleum Operations Ltd. (ADCO)

The oil business is and will continue to be a technology driven business. In spite of the recent fall in oil prices, the industry will continue to invest in new technologies and better ways to use technology. But not everyone in the industry is convinced that the introduction of new technology and more intelligent instrumentation is, necessarily, creating value. It is clear that adding instrumentation inevitably increases the capital costs and can often lead to higher operating costs but does the investment always translate into improved revenue? We have also noticed a trend where higher oil prices have allowed the industry to develop difficult to get high-cost oil. New and smarter technologies and methodologies have been developed but how can companies justify their use in the current economic situation?With new embedded technologies and connections we are able to collect large amounts of data on performance and consolidate and transmit this data remotely. The introduction of these technologies, though, has created a requirement for a set of different skills for the employees and required companies to find new ways to co-operate and collaborate. The oil industry recognises that it needs to continue to recruit new talent and that there is competition from other industries for the same talent. New recruits will come from the iGen - the internet generation. Q1: Are we delivering on the business case for introducing smart technology and methodologies especially given the current cost pressures?Q2: How can smart technologies be successfully translated to ‘low cost’ oil operations? Q3: In order to attract and retain top talent, the oil industry needs to promote and continue to develop its technological profile. How can our industry manage to be perceived as attractive by the iGen?

Panel 1: building the business Case and Managing Expectations: How ‘Smart’ is ‘Smart’ Enough?

Moderators:Yahya Mahmoud, Oracle; Tony Milan, IBM

With the ever-increasing risk and volatility of the oil and industry, managing shareholder expectations becomes an ever-increasing challenge. 2014 reminded us that a 50% swing on oil prices is still possible in the 21st century and our risk-based models and simulations do materialise, eventually! Strategic planners know that a holistic business plan should be based on sufficient scenarios and associated probabilities to define strategy.“Smart” programmes, just like all other capital intensive programmes, go through a stage gating process to prioritise investments and rationalise the returns. Project proposals usually pin down the benefits and drivers to execute a project, with the financial assessment to justify the investment.With advancements in technology leading to more affordable smarter operations and assets, where do organisations draw the line between ‘Smart’ and ‘Smart’ enough?

Panel Session 2: What is the Future of Collaboration? Moderators: Juan Carlos G. bonilla, Schlumberger; Jean-Michel Munoz, TOTAL

Collaboration can have a wide range of interpretations—from the simple requirement that people work together in teams toward common objectives, to the more challenging proposition of creating a work environment that promotes cooperation across traditional organisation structures. In the case of intelligent oil and gas, the near real-time availability of data and information presents an interesting opportunity in terms of the decision-making process. Whereas in a non-real-time environment, decisions and actions are taken mechanically, in sequence across domains and functions; in a real-time situation all disciplines can have access to the same data at the same time—without dispute as to accuracy, consistency, or other quality attributes. The decision process model therefore changes fundamentally from a sequential one to a more dynamic, organic one. How this is not only managed, but more importantly, leveraged is directly linked to the realisation of value.Collaboration demands stakeholders forge new relationships and learn new ways of working with each other. As implementations of intelligent oil and gas solutions evolve, what will

be the emerging capabilities and expectations for collaboration?

Panel 3: Innovation: Which Technologies will Drive our Vision? What’s on the Horizon? Moderators:Stephen Ashley, Maersk Oil Qatar; Ali Ferling, Ferways Consulting Services

The innovative use of existing and new technologies will be a major driver towards the vision of intelligent oil and gas. It can be driven by oil and gas companies, oilfield services companies or other organisations. The key goal is to deliver new value for the organisation’s internal and external stakeholders. It can mean adapting emerging digital technologies or combining them with existing technologies to solve operational challenges or learning from other industries about their innovations and adopting them for oil and gas. Which technologies will be critical in the future?Key success factors of innovations are replicability and ease of deployment, as well as leadership buy-in at an early stage of the process. Where do we stand today in respect to innovation?

Potential technologies and approaches under discussion may likely include, but are not limited to, the following approaches:• SmartWells• SmartSensors• ClosedLoopAutomation• MobilityandDigitalTools• UnmannedOperations• RoboticsandDrones• PredictiveAnalyticsandDiagnostics• AdvancesinReal-TimeDrillingOperations

Some critical questions that need to be addressed, are as follows:• Howcanwebetterleverageinnovative approaches between players in the oil and gas industry?• Howcanwebetterevaluatetheriskfactorof investing into new, innovative technologies? • Intermsofresearchanddevelopmentof innovative approaches, should we leave this to the oil and gas companies and/or oilfield services companies alone? • WoulditbepossibletoestablishaMENA or Middle-East-wide organisation that takes care of innovation governance, by overseeing, stimulating and leveraging innovative approaches across the region?• Cannewapproachessuchascrowdsourcing play a role in driving innovation in oil and gas?

Working Effectively within a Software Development FrameworkMonday, 14 September 2015, Jumeirah at Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi, UAECourse Instructor: Keith Burkart, Manager of Ocean Training and Support, Schlumberger

This training course will analyse the Ocean software development framework which is based on Microsoft® technology (.NET / C# / Visual Studio) and is a productive software development environment. Ocean code is executed in a memory managed environment, so that the developer never has to worry about how system resources are being managed. This enhances programmer productivity by letting him/her concentrate on the value-added part of the code, where E&P expertise gets applied. Leveraging the Ocean framework users can create best-in-class workflows, within Petrel, without the disadvantages and inconvenience of fragmented multiple software solutions. The E&P companies can profit from proprietary technology and ideas, and immediately put innovation in the hands of their interpreters. This course will provide information on the different ways by which these capabilities can be developed internally or externally, to rapidly incorporate new science plug-ins into company workflows. Attendees will learn more about the unique opportunity available to plug-ins developers as they have access, through the Ocean store, to a readymade promotion tool with global reach, to make their contribution available to the whole E&P community. In this course, attendees would learn about the many ways in which companies are taking advantage of this type of development. The practical hands-on session would include demonstrations on how to create new and personalised apps and plug-ins. Given that the Middle East is at the technology forefront in the oil and gas industry, this course would provide an excellent opportunity for attendees to learn how to maximise the benefits from their own software innovations.

Hydraulic Fracturing OptimisationThursday, 17 September 2015, Jumeirah at Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi, UAECourse Instructor: Ahmed Abou-Sayed, President, CEO and Founder, Advantek International This course presents the fundamentals of fracturing pressure analysis. This includes design parameters that can be determined, uses and limitations of such analysis for on-site design, and field examples. Sessions include real world examples from a variety of environments, from "tight" gas to high permeability, offshore, and "frac-pack" treatments. Topics covered include in-situ stresses, fracture geometry, closure pressure determination, bottom hole treating pressure interpretation, pressure decline analysis, fluid efficiency, fluid loss coefficient, pressure vs. fracture height growth—stress profile, proppant/fluid scheduling from pressure decline data.
