Digitalization and Automation of Drilling Operations form a Governmental Perspective: Oddvar Fattnes, Principal Engineer, & Linn Iren Vestly Bergh, Senior Advisor, Petroleum Safety Authority Norway
Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA) will present the strategy and plans for following up some key digitalization projects related to implementation of automated and robotized drilling and well operations. Recent experiences from following up the implementation processes of digital technology and the expected positive effects on HSE in the petroleum industry on the Norwegian Continental Shelf will be shared.

Multi Source Data Analysis to Drive drilling Excellence: Flavio Ferrari, Drilling Operation, & Luca Motti, Digital Transformation Leader and Innovation Leader, Emanuele Calò, Saipem SpA, Giovanni Patruno, Kwantis
The interpretation of rig sensors data through the automatic recognition of operating sequence, then combined with daily reports, provides highly valuable information for the improvement of operating performance, either as Non-Productive Time prevention and as Invisible Lost Time reduction.

Drilling Systems Discrete Modeling and Simulation based on Rig Data for Holistic Performance Improvement: Luis R. Pereira, Technology Manager, Technology and Innovation Group, Jason Baker, Transocean
The combination of system dynamics modeling, agent based modeling, and discrete event modeling has had limited application in the offshore drilling domain until recently. Thanks to “Big Rig Data” and these tools, we are now able to understand the true system behavior and performance, predicting future performance and optimizing new and current system operations enabling clear changes in the equipment and processes to improve overall efficiency.

15.00 Networking Break, Poster Session & Open Exhibition – Sponsored by KCA Deutag

15.30 People – Attract, Develop and Retain!Moderators: Brian Woodward, Manager – Marketing & Contracts, Noble Corporation & Rium Tapjan Johnson, Chief HSE Officer, National Oilwell Varco

Multiple polls and surveys have reinforced what the oil and gas industry already knows: We are not connecting well with the next-generation workforce, and millennial’s don’t generally view our industry as an attractive place to build their careers. At the same time, however, our industry needs a fresh pipeline of new talent in order to drive further innovations and performance improvements. This panel discussion addresses this gap by highlighting what the industry can do and offer in order to attract new-generation employees. Panelists will examine the underlying causes of the gap between millennial’s and the oil and gas industry, and hear from students and young professionals themselves in order to gain a better understanding of their perspectives, needs and ambitions.

08.00 Conference Registration, Coffee Service, Poster Session & Open Exhibition Sponsored by IFS

09.00 Welcome, Introduction & Safety Briefing

  • Mark Denkowski, Vice President-Accreditation Operations, IADC

09.00 The Operators PerspectiveModerators: Celine Martin, Rig & Services Coordinator, Total Upstream & Bjørn Engedal, Chief Engineer, Equinor

During the downturn, the Oil and Gas industry has focused on finding ways to rethink their portfolio, renew reserves and ensure production growth while also investing in ways to remain sustainable in a volatile and low oil price environment. Following several years of low sanctioning levels, production capability is now below the global requirement. To keep moving forward, exploration, appraisal and development activities must be economical in the current environment. There must also be continuous innovation with regard to attracting and retaining a competent and skilled workforce and the implementation of new technologies and practices that work to achieve operational excellence. Additionally, the industry can focus on introducing a new collaborative approach with suppliers, authority and partners. Given the evolving environment, what is the Operators perspective on the future of the industry?

  • Tim Way, Global Rig Sector Director, BP
  • Anthony Clark, Group Head Well Engineering, Tullow Oil
  • Xavier Rouzeaud, Deputy Vice President Drilling & Wells, Total
  • Ivano Ponticiello, Vice President Drilling & Completion, ENI

12.30 Luncheon, Poster Session & Open Exhibition

14.00 Motivational Speaker: Brendan Hall
Brendan Hall shows organisations how to embed a culture that can weather any storm, embrace change, provide safety in uncertainty and develop brilliant, resilient people. In 2009, Brendan skippered the winning yacht in the ultimate long-distance challenge, The Clipper Round the World Yacht race – a 35,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe, contested by amateur crews in identical racing yachts. He didn’t win because he was the best sailor or strategist, but because he created the most engaged and empowered on-board culture, with a compelling vision, strong values and a continuous-improvement mindset.

Technology and Procedural Discipline; Assumptions, Facts, Best Practices, Results and Why Airlines don’t use JSA’s: Yarko “J.J.” Sos, Founder/Director, Check-6 Inc.
There is a lot of new technology to get procedures to the front-line worker. Yet, technology as a tool, is not a substitute for accountability. This presentation will explore why procedures aren’t followed, the role of workers in developing the procedures, and most importantly, how leadership invariably affects outcomes of new initiatives.

An introducion to manually operated casing running equipment versus mechanized casing running system that has been recently implemented and used on the Maersk Discoverer offshore rig. The high level of risk associated with personnel intervention operating such heavy equipment and managing more than six people in the red-zone, were the strong motive for piloting the mechanized Casing Running project.

Technology Base Rapid BOP Risk Assessment: Garry Davis, President/CEO BOP Risk Mitigation Services
BOP Risk Mitigation Services, LLC (BRMS) has developed and delivered the first standardized technology-based Rapid Risk Assessment System, Smart-Risk™, which incorporates the BRMS Smart-Sim™ virtual environment simulators, in the industry.

Drilling Systems Automation Takes Flight: John de Wardt, President Program Manager DSA Roadmap JIP, DE WARDT AND COMPANY, Mark Anderson, Shell (retired), Moray Laing, Halliburton, Robin Macmillan, National Oilwell Varco, John Macpherson, Baker Hughes a GE company
Adoption of Drilling Systems Automation (DSA) is accelerating. Definition of new industry systems architecture illustrate how all companies can set themselves up to participate fruitfully. Decision and control frameworks explain the linkage from rig site to remote to company business. Levels of automation taxonomy provides an industry tool for mapping transitions from manual to automated by cognitive function.

Innovative Digital Well Planing and Engineering Solution Enhances Accuracy and Agility of the Drilling Design Process: Waldemar Szemat, Drilling Business Manager, Adrian Newton, Graeme Paterson, Schlumberger

Furthermore, the cloud deployed solution challenges will be covered and lessons learnt from usage of the system will also be discussed

Offshore Rig Market Update: Terry Childs, Head of RigLogix, Westwood Global Energy
The offshore rig market continues along a path to recovery, but obstacles are still in place. Utilization and day rates for most rig types in most regions remain stagnant, although some higher rates are expected to be in place shortly. However, with much of the planned drilling not starting until after June 2019, we continue to believe that a more meaningful recovery will not take place until later this year or early 2020.
