SUMMARY:Repurposing networks for Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThis presentation is an overview for repurposing and the potential blockers with respect to current code compliance based on Wood case studies of international code requirements and recent repurposing study work.  \nBased on rudimental calculations\, comparing both energy Natural Gas (NG) and H2 carriers\, repurposed pipelines can be capable of achieving circa 80-90% of the energy flow rate if design pressure can be maintained\, or 50-60% if the design pressure is de-rated. If other operational restrictions are considered\, such as flow velocity it can potentially have additional knock-on effect on the achievable flowrate and consequently to energy ratio.  \nThe feasibility of pipeline repurposing for hydrogen service is critical to the energy transition. Careful consideration of code requirements\, and further research and development currently ongoing is required in order to remove over-conservatisms in design to maximise the achievable energy flow rate when repurposing to hydrogen service. \nPresented by\n\nCallum Peace\nCallum is a chartered engineer working 15+ years in onshore and offshore from concept to detailed design\, procurement and installation. He has executed numerous H2\, H2 Blending and H2 vector studies. Additionally\, Callum leads Wood’s H2/CCUS pipeline R&D team. \n  \nAbout the Event\n\nPrice: \n\nSPE Member $10\nNon-Member $15\n\nBring a friend for free\, but it must be in the same registration.\nAdd your friend’s name to the field “Additional Guest Name” on the checkout page. \nDate:             Wednesday 9th of August 2023 \nLocation:      Flux Basement\, 191 St Georges Terrace\, Perth WA \nTime: \n\n4:45 pm – 5:00 pm Registration and Networking\n5:00 pm – 5:45 pm Presentation and Q&A Session\n5:45 pm – 6:45 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles

SUMMARY:The Forgotten Story of the World’s First MODU - Princess Royal Harbour\, Albany\, 1906
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our July 2023 SPE WA Technical Evening Meeting. \nAbout the Presentation\nToday\, there are approximately 500 rigs drilling for oil or gas in our oceans\, seas and lakes at a cost of more than a quarter of a billion dollars a day. But how many people know that one of the earliest\, if not the earliest\, Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU)\, was built and operated right here in Western Australia\, 117 years ago? \nDuring the dredging of Albany’s Princess Royal Harbour between 1901-04\, “a great flow of oil came up”. This led to New Zealand born mining engineer\, Charles E Watkins\, taking out a prospecting licence over the area and in 1906\, forming the Princess Royal Harbour Mineral and Oil Company NL. One of the conditions set by the Mining Warden was “all boring operations are to be carried out from a floating punt and not from a fixed staging…” \nLong forgotten documents\, government files\, newspaper articles and family archives reveal that these were the first wells in Australia\, and probably the world\, to be drilled from a floating vessel. \nNot only will you learn what a 1906 MODU looked like\, you will discover\, why oil was thought to be present\, what the Government Geologist had to say\, how the venture lead to the world’s first offshore fatality and the widow’s prolonged fight for a Workers’ Compensation payout. \nThe Provisional Directors of the company were respected Albany and Perth gentlemen of various backgrounds but it wouldn’t be Western Australia without the involvement of a colourful character or two\, or rivalry between Perth and Fremantle. \nA piece of Western Australia’s forgotten oil and gas history. \nAbout the Speaker – Don Poynton\nDon Poynton is a retired petroleum geologist who continues his involvement in the Australian petroleum industry by researching its history. \nDon graduated with an Honours degree in Science (Geology) from the Australian National University in 1971. He then spent the next 42 years working on most of Australia’s sedimentary basins for BOC of Australia\, Woodside\, Mesa Petroleum\, Western Mining Corporation’s Petroleum Division and at the time of his retirement was Manager of Exploration and Environment for Strike Energy. \nHe received the Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia’s Meritorious Service Award in 2016. \nSince his retirement Don has taken an active role in coastal rehabilitation and natural history organisations. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member          $40 <Until the 11 July 2023>\n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $60 <Until the 11 July 2023>\n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Tuesday\, 18 July 2023 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             16:45 am – 17:00 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             17:00 pm – 17:10 pm Opening Marks.\nTime:             17:10 pm – 17:45 pm Presentation.\nTime:             17:45 pm – 18:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             18:00 pm – 19:30 pm Closing with Networking drinks & Nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students\nSPE WA in conjunction with our sponsors is kindly sponsoring students to attend the monthly technical events.

SUMMARY:Greenwashing and the Rise of Green-Hushing
DESCRIPTION:SPE WA is pleased to announce our joint-society meeting arranged in conjunction with ERL (Energy & Resources Law) and AIEN (Association of International Energy Negotiators).  Our speaker will be John Zadkovich\, Partner of Penningtons Manches Cooper\, who will deliver an informative and engaging talk on the hot topic on greenwashing and the rising of green-hushing. \nAbout the Presentation\nThe ESG matrix continues to expand with a myriad of legal and regulatory considerations for companies operating in the energy sector\, among others. It is at times measured\, at others – to quote those in the industry – ‘tedious’ and ‘onerous’. \nCertain of the ESG indices are laudable because of the benefits they bring\, relevantly mitigating the risk of greenwashing and engendering a more sustainable environment. However\, there is an increasing countereffect\, ‘green-hushing’\, whereby companies deliberately downplay their environmental/green credentials or simply keep them confidential. \nThis presentation touches on the current regulatory environment for greenwashing\, covering certain jurisdictions\, looks at the pros and cons of green-hushing\, and offers some practical tips. \nAbout the Speaker – John Zadkovich\nJohn advises on a range of energy\, trade and finance matters\, with particular expertise in international commercial arbitration\, investigations and public international law. \nHe has a strong legal and commercial understanding of the trade\, energy (including oil and gas\, mining/natural resources\, renewables)\, infrastructure and finance sectors. John is experienced in working with most international arbitration rules and recognised institutions\, including ICC\, LCIA\, SIAC\, LMAA\, HKIAC\, CIETAC and UNCITRAL\, and frequently appears as counsel before arbitral tribunals. He has also advised clients regarding regulatory and internal investigations and appeared as counsel. \nJohn’s clients range from sovereign states\, state owned entities\, and multinational and domestic companies\, to trading houses\, private equity firms and family offices. He has nearly 20 years of legal experience across Asia-Pacific\, Europe and the Middle East\, having previously worked at Australian\, English and American law firms\, including six years in Hong Kong. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE\, ERL and AIEN Member          $40 <Until the 19 June 2023>\n                       Early Bird Non-Member                                   $60 <Until the 19 June 2023>\n                       SPE\, ERL and AIEN Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                                                    $70 \nDate:              Wednesday\, 28 June 2023 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             16:45 am – 17:00 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             17:00 pm – 17:10 pm Opening Marks.\nTime:             17:10 pm – 17:45 pm Presentation.\nTime:             17:45 pm – 18:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             18:00 pm – 19:30 pm Closing with Networking drinks & Nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students\nSPE WA in conjunction with our sponsors is kindly sponsoring students to attend the monthly technical events.

SUMMARY:Sidetracking with Whipstocks: An Efficient Method for Increasing Your Operational and Asset Value
DESCRIPTION:Organised by Main Technical Program\nAs the demand increases to lower overall cost of accessing reserves\, more reliable operations during the well construction process are required and refined methods for maximizing the value of existing assets must be considered. In drilling operations\, there are numerous reasons why sidetracking may be a planned or contingency event.  Additionally\, many if not all\, fields have existing assets that can potentially be utilized to reestablish or increase production while reducing cost and footprint associated with a new drill.  One option of sidetracking a well involves a ramp directionally anchored in the casing or open hole to create a window for future drilling and completion assemblies. Whipstock sidetracking has evolved as a viable solution to add operational value in both new and mature wells. \nThrough technological advances\, whipstock operations have become more efficient and can cover most applications for new drills and re-entries.  With additional evolutions in drilling capabilities and more complex wellbore design\, sidetracking in casing or open hole can provide an economical advantage over traditional contingency solutions.  From an overall cost per foot perspective\, multilateral and re-entry projects can reduce the operational spend to access additional reserves while reducing the environmental footprint. \nWith extensive run history and ever-increasing developments in equipment\, competency\, and data driven analytics\, the scope and success for whipstock sidetracking operations provides operators with lower risk options to further industry optimization. \nThis presentation will focus on identification of applications and methods to increase operational efficiency in the process of drilling and completing wells along with recovering stranded production in existing fields. \nSpeaker – Tom Emelander\nProduction Line Manager for Weatherford’s Whipstock Systems\nTom Emelander is the Product Line Manager for Weatherford’s Whipstock Systems. His early career focused on support and implementation of Casing Exit Technologies.  After gaining operational experience\, he was elevated to Technical Specialist where he guided his team to significant improvements in service quality.  His recent role is focused on increasing efficiencies\, developing new technologies\, and working with operators on highly innovative re-entry projects including multiple industry first installations. \nRegarded as a subject matter expert\, he has authored multiple technical papers and industry articles.  Tom has a Mechanical Engineering degree from Western Michigan University. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member          $40 <Until the 1 May 2023>\n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $60 <Until the 1 May 2023>\n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Monday\, 8 May 2023 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             16:45 am – 17:00 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             17:00 pm – 17:10 pm SPE WA Opening Marks.\nTime:             17:10 pm – 17:45 pm Presentation.\nTime:             17:45 pm – 18:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             18:00 pm – 19:30 pm Closing with Networking drinks & Nibbles. \nFree tickets are available for Students\nSPE WA in conjunction with our sponsors is kindly sponsoring students to attend the monthly technical events.

SUMMARY:Is Mercury Contaminating your Natural Gas? Improved Accuracy in Downhole Analysis; A Case Study from Sand Face to Production Stream
DESCRIPTION:Organised by Main Technical Program\nNatural gas is a critical part of the world’s energy supply and plays an important role in the transition to lower carbon energy sources. Industry’s ability to process natural gas safely and efficiently will continue to rely on an accurate understanding of feed gas composition and contaminants\, particularly in enabling future developments via existing infrastructure. \nMercury is toxic to organisms and highly volatile. Produced from hydrocarbon basins globally\, the inaccurate measurement of mercury concentrations can potentially impact aspects of health\, process safety\, environment\, operations\, waste disposal\, and project decommissioning. Trace mercury concentrations in the hydrocarbon stream can potentially introduce liquid metal embrittlement hazards to industrial equipment\, including cryogenic heat exchangers used to refrigerate gas into LNG. Worldwide\, significant project cost overruns and processing incidents have resulted from uncertainty around mercury concentrations in hydrocarbon streams. \nSuccessful mercury management ideally begins early in a project’s lifecycle with development decisions informed by accurate measurement of mercury concentrations from reservoirs. Historically\, this has been problematic as mercury contamination and scavenging often results in large range of uncertainty in sampled gas. \nThe results and recommendations from a multi-company collaborative study to reduce mercury uncertainty in gas will be shared with industry. New downhole sampling and analysis techniques will be highlighted\, along with insights from a case study of the Julimar Field in Western Australia. The recommendations\, procedures and operational best practices discussed will be applicable across the industry\, and beneficial to any party considering the impact of mercury in the development and processing of natural gas resources. \nSpeaker Janelle Lawer\nWheatstone Technical Lead for Woodside\nJanelle Lawer is an energy industry professional with 20 years of working with supermajor and mid-size exploration and production companies in Australia and the USA.

SUMMARY:SPE WA Masterclass on Reservoir and Production Engineering Surveillance & Management
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION\n\nPro-active RE/PE Surveillance is the practice of observing and analyzing historic and real-time pressure\, rate & temperature data\, understanding the performance of a well/reservoir (and how/why it may be changing)\, then managing the well to maximize the NPV and/or reserves recovery. This training will cover the basic skill sets that are required to be an effective surveillance expert. \nThe following topics will be covered: \n\nWhat to measure & how to measure pressure\, temperature\, and rates\nThe physics-based engineering equations to use to calculate:\na. Reservoir volumes (In-place\, connected and mobile)\nb. Skin\, permeability\, productivity index\nc. Pressure-drop in a pipe or elsewhere in the flow system\nHow to work with automation and when to analyze things manually\nHow to hunt for ways to enhance production\n\nWhile nothing can match the experience of just looking at lots of data\, with these tools and philosophies\, an attentive engineer can quickly become effective at pro-active surveillance. The focus of this session will be on high-rate conventional wells. We will also present some material on the surveillance of US shale wells. \nFEATURED SPEAKER\nChris Fair received his BS in Chemical Engineering (1994) and his MS in Petroleum Engineering (1997) from the University of Houston. During his time in school\, he worked in various positions in the chemical industry and oil patch. These included roles in process operations\, project/design engineering\, PVT and fluid mechanics research\, sales engineering\, process control and instrumentation\, downhole nuclear tool testing (both in the laboratory and in the field)\, and laboratory instruction in process control\, technical writing\, and chemical engineering practices (basically\, how not to get “blow’d-up” in a chemical plant). In 1997\, he joined Data Retrieval Corporation (the SPIDR folks). While there he worked on expanding the range & types of wells that could be effectively tested from the surface\, and worked on increasing the company’s markets\, both in the US and overseas.

SUMMARY:SPE WA and PESA Joint Technical Evening Meeting - 50th Anniversary of Awakening the Giants
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our March Technical Evening Meeting as a joint event in collaboration with the Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia (PESA). \nAbout the Presentation – Celebrating 50+ Years of Northwest Shelf Mega Gas Discoveries\nPresented by Don Poynton & Andrew Thompson \nThis year marks the 60th anniversary of Woodside’s first exploration permit on the North West Shelf. At some 337\,000 square kilometres and encompassing an area greater than the size of the British Isles and about half the size of Texas\, the permit was possibly the largest offshore oil and gas concession ever granted and well beyond Woodside’s ability to operate. \nImmediately after being awarded the permit in June 1963\, two of Woodside’s Directors set off overseas in a quest to find a farminee with offshore operating experience.  British company\, Burmah Oil Limited\, having done its own research in the region\, quickly agreed to take a one-third interest in the permit and the operatorship of the joint venture\, which soon after included Shell\, and slightly later BP and Standard Oil of California’s subsidiary Calasiastic joined the joint venture. \nBetween 1964 and 1976 Burmah Oil\, through its Australian subsidiary\, BOC of Australia Limited\, often referred to as BOCAL\, was responsible for all offshore exploration and appraisal activities on the North West Shelf. This included approximately 80\,000 km of seismic acquisition and the drilling of 58 wells\, of which 8 were appraisals and 50 wildcats with 13 that could be classified as discoveries. \nIn 1971\, the joint venture made four giant gas-condensate discoveries\, at\, Scott Reef\, North Rankin\, Goodwyn and Angel.  In 2021\, to mark the 50th anniversary of these discoveries\, Woodside helped ex-Burmah staff fund the making of four videos which captured the history behind two of these discoveries- Scott Reef and North Rankin. These videos include interviews with many of the people involved and footage which had been lost for many years or in some cases had never been shown publicly before (excuses in advance for the quality!). \nStudents (read below)!!! \nSPE WA in conjunction with our sponsors are kindly sponsoring students to attend the monthly technical events.

SUMMARY:Solving the challenges of oil-free high-pressure hydrogen compression
DESCRIPTION:Hydrogen compressors are used for transport and storage of hydrogen for various applications\, including power to X\, feedstock for ammonia synthesis\, and nowadays mobility. In the context of mobility\, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) require compressed hydrogen to power their fuel cells and generate electricity to drive the vehicle’s electric motor. \nHydrogen supply for FCV’s is stored at high pressure at fueling stations\, typically around 550 bar (8\,000 psi)\, before dispensing it into the FCV’s on-board fuel tank. \nThis represents a big technical challenge\, in terms of compression\, since high pressure H2 used for fuel cells must be absolutely oil-free\, so compressors need to be able to reach very high pressures\, for a very light gas\, without using any lubricating fluid. \nSIAD Macchine Impianti exploited its long experience in hydrogen compression\, in order to develop innovative solutions to reliably face such a challenge. \n  \nAbout the Speakers\nClaudio Sangaletti is serving as Business Director of ASU and LNG units at SIAD Macchine Impianti S.p.A. with more than twenty years of experience in the field of contracting\, design and construction of cryogenic plants. He is also General Manager of SIAD Engineering (Hangzhou) Co.\, Ltd and SIAD Engineering Trading (Shanghai) Co.\, Ltd. Claudio uses his skills and experience to ensure the continuous growing and success of the ASU and LNG division worldwide.He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering\, with a specialization in Automation and Robotic Science from Politecnico of Milan. He holds a Master in Contracting\, Engineering and Management of Mega Projects from School of Business of Politecnico of Milan. \nGianluigi De Mitri graduated with a M.Sc. in Management Engineering from the University of Bergamo\, Italy. He then studied Lean Startup and Business Model Innovation at the Berlin School of Economics and Law\, Germany. Gianluigi joined SIAD Macchine Impianti in 2015\, where he manages strategic marketing and business development initiatives on a global scale\, especially within the decarbonisation technologies and hydrogen economy industry. \nAbout the Event\nPrice: \n\nSPE Member $10\nNon-Member $15\n\nBring a friend for free\, but it must be in the same registration.\nAdd your friend’s name to the field “Additional Guest Name” on the checkout page. \nDate:              Wednesday\, 22nd of February 2023 \nLocation:      Flux Basement\, 191 St Georges Terrace\, Perth WA \nTime: \n4:45 pm – 5:00 pm Registration and Networking\n5:00 pm – 5:45 pm Presentation and Q&A Session\n5:45 pm – 6:45 pm Networking Drinks & Nibbles

SUMMARY:SPE Distinguished Lecturer Technical Evening Meeting - The Role of CCS and Hydrogen in the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of our Feb 2023  SPE Distinguished Lecturer Technical Evening Meeting. \nAbout the Presentation\nContrary to popular belief\, the ongoing energy transition from a high to low carbon economy requires more than harnessing renewable energies.  Currently\, only 11% of global energy consumption come from renewable energy while 85% come from fossil fuels.  The current pace of installing renewable power plants is inadequate for nations to achieve net-zero by the second half of the century.  Achieving net-zero will require each country to decarbonize all three major energy consumptions sectors: power\, transport and industry. \nThere are essentially five ways to achieve this.  They are renewable energy\, carbon capture and storage (CCS)\, hydrogen\, nuclear energy and reducing energy demand.  How each country will utilize these ways to go through the energy transition will depend on its specific energy mix and the need to balance energy security\, affordability\, and sustainability. \nThis seminar will show how CCS and hydrogen are key to achieving net-zero in all three energy consumption sectors. Furthermore\, there is enough storage capacity in oil and gas fields\, and saline aquifers in the world to store two centuries of anthropgenic carbon dioxide emission. We will present several case studies of large-scale CCS demonstration projects in Europe and Asia and discuss what is needed to take CCS to the next level of implementation. \nAbout the Speaker – Hon Chung Lau\nProf. Lau worked for Shell’s upstream business for 35 years where he had held positions in R&D\, field development planning\, technical assurance\, training\, project management and technical leadership. From 2016-2021\, he was a professor of practice at the National University of Singaspore (NUS) and senior scientific advisor at Singapore’s Agency of Science\, Technology and Research (A*STAR). At NUS\, he taught and conducted research on unconventional and renewable energy resources.  In 2021\, Prof. Lau founded Low Carbon Energies\, a consulting firm focusing on the energy transition. \nHe holds BSc and PhD in chemical engineering from Caltech and Princeton\, respectively\, and is a registered professional engineer in Texas.  He is also an adjunct professor at the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at Rice University. \nAbout the Event\nPrice:             Early Bird SPE Member          $40 <Until the 11 Feb 2023>\n                       Early Bird Non-Member          $60 <Until the 11 Feb 2023>\n                       SPE Member                          $50\n                       Non-Member                          $70 \nDate:              Wednesday\, 15 Feb 2023 \nLocation:       Parmelia Hilton Hotel\nLocation:       14 Mill Street\, Perth WA 6000 \nTime:             16:45 am – 17:00 pm Registration & Networking.\nTime:             17:00 pm – 17:10 pm SPE WA Opening Marks.\nTime:             17:10 pm – 17:45 pm Presentation.\nTime:             17:45 pm – 18:00 pm Q&A Session.\nTime:             18:00 pm – 19:30 pm Closing with Networking drinks & Nibbles. \nFree Tickets Available for SPE Student Chapter Members\nSPE WA\, in conjunction with our sponsors\, is kindly sponsoring SPE Student Chapter Members to attend the monthly technical events.

DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the first Technical Evening Meeting of 2023. \nAbout the Presentation\nTracer technology offers a powerful means for conducting production and reservoir surveillance\, which is both operationally simple to deploy\, cost-effective and can measure flow properties less than one metre to ten’s of kilometres between wells. Surveillance using tracer solutions truly provide continuous multi-scale monitoring from a well to a reservoir scale.  It utilizes flow through porous media and pipe flow in wells as the telemetry method to transport the signals to the sampling point. Therefore\, tracer technology is a viable alternative as the permanent monitoring technology of choice for well surveillance in today’s field developments\, and it is a risk-free solution from both planning and deployment perspectives. \nIn terms of reservoir surveillance\, inter well tracers not only provide an understanding of the preferential flow paths between injectors and production wells on a field wide scale\, they also provide a method of understanding reservoir connectivity\, verifying suspected flow barriers\, characterizing flood patterns\, estimating residual oil saturations between wells and analyzing the effects of volumetric sweep efficiency. More recently\, interwell tracers have been used to monitor leakage from CO2 storage reservoirs and used in carbon accounting practices. Inflow tracing is designed to evaluate near wellbore flow performance such as verifying clean up\, identifying the location of water/gas breakthrough over time and quantifying flow. \nThe co-implementation of both tracer technologies in the early stage of waterflood or EOR development offers unique ability to monitor wells/reservoir\, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming wireline interventions and overcome any wellsite logistics challenges.  An increased adoption of integrating inter well and inflow tracer interpretation can reduce uncertainty in history matching well/reservoir models and thus improve reservoir management strategies using assisted history matching tools or optimisers based on results obtained from the tracer signal responses. \nThis presentation will discuss tracer project conceptualization\, design\, analysis workflow and implementation of combining inflow and interwell tracers. \nAbout the Speaker – Edmund Leung\nEdmund Leung is currently the Senior Technology Advisor with RESMAN\, based in Perth\, Australia since June 2022. He was previously Vice President for Well Technology leading the RESMAN flow-related interpretation and R&D team\, based in Trondheim in Norway. \nHe earned an Honors degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of New South Wales in Sydney\, Australia\, graduating in 1995.

SUMMARY:SPE Distinguished Lecturer Webinar - Rigs as Reefs: Re-imagining Our Energy Past as our Eco-Friendly Future
DESCRIPTION:SPE WA is proud to present the details of the November SPE Distinguished Lecturer Webinar. \n\nAbout the Presentation\nIncreasingly\, the world’s offshore oil and gas platforms are transitioning into aging relics\, leftover designs from an era in hot pursuit of developing and extracting the world’s offshore oil reserves\, with little thought given to their eventual removal. However\, as the global economy has begun to shift away from traditional energy resources (i.e.\, oil and gas) towards renewables (i.e.\, wind\, wave\, and solar energy)\, the removal of many offshore structures has become inevitable\, and the technical\, economic\, and environmental implications associated with their decommissioning must now be addressed. Many of these platforms are home to some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet\, making decommissioning via complete removal and onshore disposal environmentally detrimental\, and needlessly expensive. Repurposing an object\, which was once environmentally taxing\, into something sustainable and environmentally friendly is inherently fresh\, and perhaps most critically\, timely. This lecture will shed light on how scientists\, operators and regulators are beginning to think creatively about our ocean resources\, and radically changing the way society views ocean conservation. By examining several case studies\, ranging from traditional fixed platforms to floating facilities to subsea infrastructure in the super deep sea\, this lecture will demonstrate the ecological\, social\, and economic benefits of repurposing oil and gas infrastructure as marine habitats. Ultimately\, this lecture will demonstrate to members how implementing Rigs to Reef programs globally provides not only a viable alternative to traditional decommissioning but also a replicable\, scalable and significantly more commercially viable solution which can catalyze sustainable ocean resource development. \n\nAbout the Speaker – Emily Hazelwood\nEmily is a marine conservation biologist and co-founder of Blue Latitudes\, a women-owned marine environmental consulting firm\, where she works to unite science\, policy\, and innovative technology to solve the complex ecological challenges associated with re-purposing offshore oil and gas platforms as artificial reefs through the Rigs to Reefs program. She has a B.A. in Environmental Science from Connecticut College and an M.A.S in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. In 2018\, Emily was recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 (entrepreneurs) list for her work developing sustainable\, creative\, and cost-effective solutions for the offshore energy industry. \n\nWebinar Registration\nDate:              Tuesday\, 1st of November 2022 \nTime:              07:00 pm – 8:00 pm

SUMMARY:19th October 2022 SPE WA Technical Meeting – An Independent Perspective on CCS in the UK
DESCRIPTION:Society of Petroleum Engineers Western Australia is proud to present the details of the October 2022 Technical Evening Meeting. \nAbout the Presentation\nThe presentation aims to outline the rapidly evolving CCS opportunity in the UK from the perspective of an independent\, integrated consultancy working closely with government and industry. This has been a journey to promote and evaluate the national CCS resource\, repurpose high-value infrastructure assets\, licence and commercialize underground carbon storage projects against the backdrop of a mature offshore hydrocarbon basin\, acute national energy security challenges and net zero commitments. \nA chronological account of CCS in the UK is provided\, dating back to around 2006\, highlighting roadblocks encountered\, as well as the emerging industry objectives and drivers that have brought us to the present day. Insight is afforded into opportunity maturation\, the current status of projects and their regulation. The changing nature of the consultancy business and the transfer of skills between traditional oil and gas\, and increasingly towards low carbon\, in response to industry trends\, is summarised. \nThe talk draws on experience gained in the UK CCS sector\, with a focus on key technical risks and known success factors\, making use of case studies where possible. It follows the pathway toward commercialisation of several distinct types of offshore storage assets – saline aquifer and depleted gas field – highlighting pertinent considerations for both. \nIt will review workflows developed and successfully applied in the UK to screen and select offshore CCS stores\, from within existing portfolios or from strategic acreage allocated by the authorities. Finally\, it outlines the approaches taken to mature short-listed projects through detailed subsurface evaluation and multi-disciplinary integration arriving at FID ready storage site development plans and will further highlight available resources from within the public domain. \nThe presentation will appeal to the sensibilities of the petroleum engineer\, or geoscientist\, who will readily identify parallels to their own skill-set and daily work activities in oil and gas.  Workflows revealed and lessons learned might be adopted in Australia and indeed elsewhere in view of current and future CCS assets and/or projects. \nAbout the Speaker – Shaun Bambridge\nShaun Bambridge is a WA-based Senior Reservoir Engineer with Axis\, an independent consultancy headquartered in Aberdeen\, UK. He has almost two decades of international oil and gas industry experience that includes deployments for Operator\, E&P and Oilfield Service company across Australia\, Europe\, Africa and the Middle-East. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of WA and a Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College London. \nFounded in 2001\, Axis have been closely involved with CCS in the UK since 2015\, with Shaun being part of a broader multi-disciplinary team working on CCS scopes since that time.

SUMMARY:From Ambition to Reality 2
DESCRIPTION:Measuring Change in the race to deliver net zero\nIf we develop energy infrastructure the way we always have\, we won’t get to net zero by 2050. We might not even get halfway. We must radically rethink the way we design\, build\, and work together. \nSo how do we untangle the threads of the net-zero transition to weave a new delivery paradigm? Explore how a framework for measurement against the paradigm shifts is required for accelerated delivery. \n  \nAbout the Presentation\nIf we develop energy infrastructure the way we always have\, we won’t get to net zero by 2050. We might not even get halfway. We must radically rethink the way we design\, build\, and work together. \n“From Ambition to Reality 2: Measuring change in the race to net zero” is the next instalment of Worley and Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment’s ground-breaking series. Our first paper showed that achieving net zero is technically feasible\, but there’s an immense infrastructure delivery challenge to get there.  This paper builds on the five key shifts in infrastructure delivery and explores how to convert this thinking into action in the critical period through to 2030.  It outlines 15 leading indicators of change that will enable industry and governments to evaluate\, adjust\, and correct infrastructure delivery practices to meet the challenge of scale and speed that mid-century net zero demands.  We also discuss the initial results of the Net Zero Australia project being undertaken by the University of Queensland and Melbourne. \nSo how do we untangle the threads of the net-zero transition to weave a new delivery paradigm? Explore how a framework for measurement against the paradigm shifts is required for accelerated delivery. \nhttps://www.worley.com/our-thinking/from-ambition-to-reality \n  \nAbout the Presenter\nClare Anderson is the Director of Sustainability Performance for Worley and is passionate about the decarbonisation of the energy\, chemical and resources industries.
