DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our February 2025 SPE WA Technical Evening Meeting. \n  \nAbout the Presentation:\nWhat does energy transition mean? What are we transitioning to? How and when will we get there? In hindsight\, the energy transition movement means different things to different entities. To operators\, the primary focus is to transform their business (influenced by regulations and legislative policies) by reducing their carbon emissions while also investing in cleaner low-carbon energy sources\, such as geothermal and hydrogen. For service companies\, it is another potential revenue stream by offering products and services to oil and gas operators\, as well as to renewable power generation companies. For governments\, it is defined as an essential need for energy diversification in order to achieve sustainable\, self-sufficient solutions that are less impacted by socio-economic or geo-political factors\, i.e.\, energy security. It is important to note that the ‘public’ understand that what is driving this paradigm shift: technology\, policy\, and cultural change. The energy transition concept will be broken down as a current ‘buzzword’ and popular concept that is fettered by technology hype\, political agendas\, and/or financial influences that are attached to the term. Finally\, light will be shined on how the industry’s previous institutional mindset has changed to a broad\, open-minded desire to create a net-positive outcome using Environmental\, Social\, and Governance techniques. \n  \nAbout the Distinguished Lecturer:\nBez is an associate consultant at Darcy Partners\, focused on market intelligence and management consulting for oil and gas operators. Bez has over 40 publications\, 4 patents\, 1 book\, and 14 years of experience in the energy sector – hydrocarbons to renewables. Previously\, Bez worked as an Energy Technologist at Baker Hughes\, engaged on techno-commercial applications in energy transition projects. Additionally\, he also has experience as Sr. Research Scientist in academia. Bez is active in SPE as a committee member for ATCE and ADIPEC. Bez has a master’s degree in petroleum engineering and a PhD in Management in Energy Transition. \n  \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member        $40 \n                       Early Bird Non-Member         $60 \n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Wednesday\, 12 February 2025 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             4:45pm – 5:00pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             5:00pm – 5:50pm Opening remarks and presentation.\nTime:             5:50pm – 6:00pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             6:00pm – 7:30 pm  Networking drinks & nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students.
