Jim Green - CIO and GM, Technical Computing - Chevron Energy Technology Company
Combining innovative workflows and emerging technologies in the digital oilfield
Talk Description.
The industry has realized significant value creation, operational efficiencies and leverage of organizational capabilities through new workflows and business models enabled by digital oil field solutions. These solutions are often developed by combining the innovation and workflow knowledge of personnel responsible for reservoir management and production operations with emerging information technologies and architectural patterns.
Enterprises that demonstrate the ability to recognize, pilot and systematically adopt new solutions architectures across a wider portfolio of producing assets stand to differentiate their performance through improved production efficiency, reliability and consistent assessment and management of process risk. In this discussion, Mr. Green will describe the architectural attributes, practices and organizational capabilities required to enable the timely adoption of solutions from one operating asset to another.
Jim Green is the GM and CIO of Technical Computing for the Chevron Energy Technology Company. In this role, he is responsible for the strategic direction, organizational capabilities and leadership of the Technical Computing group responsible for the development, deployment, and support of Oil and Gas exploration and production applications, information management solutions, and high performance computing infrastructure.

Stewart Robinson - Energy Resources Consultant - UK Government Department of Energy and Climate Change
Energistics, WITSML, PRODML and National Data Repositories could all come together to deliver major benefits
Talk Description.
The UK government, together with a number of other oil provinces such as Norway, have been using the emerging web services technology to deliver real benefits in the way that their oil provinces can be exploited. Web technology improves communication and delivers efficiency benefits but a major leap forward in government / industry cooperation still eludes us because we still do not have agreed data exchange standards.
This talk outlines the current “state of the nation” of government / industry cooperation, describes (as an example) what has happened in the UK and then suggests a way forward that is being supported by Energistics through its custodianship of the National Data Repositories movement.
Stewart Robinson was formerly head of IT for oil and gas at UK government department of energy
UK Government Department of Energy and Climate Change
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) was created in October 2008, to bring together:
* energy policy (previously with BERR, which is now BIS - the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills), and
* climate change mitigation policy (previously with Defra - the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Climate change is not only a massive threat to the global environment, it is also perhaps the greatest economic challenge facing us in the twenty-first century. It demands an urgent and radical response across the developed and developing world.
At the same time, the UK needs to secure clean, safe, affordable energy to heat and power our homes and businesses. Creating a low carbon and resource efficient world means making major structural changes to the way we work and live, including how we source, manage and use our energy.
DECC exists to take the lead in tackling these challenges, and reflects the fact that climate change and energy policies are inextricably linked – two thirds of our emissions come from the energy we use. Decisions in one field cannot be made without considering the impacts in the other.

Justin Lowe - - PA Consulting
Enabling Digital Oilfields through effective cyber security
Talk Description.
The upstream oil and gas industry is facing many challenges including declining existing reserves, new reserves that are difficult to access, aging infrastructure and ever increasing health and safety risks. Many in the industry are looking to intelligent or digital oilfields and integrated operations concepts to address these challenges and are deploying increased connectivity solutions to gain better information about reservoirs and operations. Many benefits are expected and value adding applications are being developed to exploit this newly acquired information. However, there are also downsides.
This new connectivity also opens these systems to security threats such as hackers, viruses, worms and terrorists. Security incidents have already occurred in digital oilfields with hackers disabling safety systems, worms and viruses causing loss of view and loss of control incidents for production and drilling operations.
This presentation examines these issues and looks at some of the incidents experienced and considers how taking an effective cyber security strategy can be a real enabler for digital oilfield initiatives.
Justin Lowe is a Managing Consultant with PA Consulting Group based in the UK out of PA's London office where he leads PA's services for the Oil and Gas sector. Justin has a strong background in developing strategic technology solutions for the oil and gas industry. For the last ten years Justin has been assisting clients with improving the management of their assets through digital oil field programmes where he has led the development and delivery of solutions involving real time plant and drilling information, remote connectivity, condition monitoring and field communications. A particular focus area is security risk management which is becoming an increasingly important theme in digital oilfield initiatives given recent cyber incidents.

Blair Eldridge - Head of Business Development for the UK Energy business - Hewlett-Packard
DOF Infrastructure: Frontier IT Challenges
Talk Description.
Digital oilfield developments have pushed the frontiers of Information Technology in requiring industrial grade, secure, robust and reliable connectivity delivered into often remote, harsh and challenging environments. Spanning connectivity issues in the High North and remote deserts to deep water and subsea installations the pace of change in technology continues to push the abilities of IT organization to deliver.
For every new innovation, technology or practice there are attendant challenges around the provision of services to new locations, changes in the nature of communication and its impact on network operations, and expectations of individuals as regards immediacy of access to information and applications.
IT Outsourcing is prevalent in the Oil and Gas Industry. Often divided between multiple suppliers covering Network, data centre, desktop, helpdesk..... the advent of new changes test the ability of service providers to meet the change in demand in a cost effective way.
In this presentation we will look at how recent changes, and current and proposed innovation can be supported and delivered in this complex and commercially challenging delivery model.
