David Bamford - Director - Future Energy Partners Ltd
Welcome & Introduction
David Bamford is well known around the oil & gas industry both as an explorer and a geophysicist. He holds a Physics degree from the University of Bristol and a Ph.D in Geological Sciences from the University of Birmingham.
Since 2004, he has been a non-executive director at Tullow Oil plc, being recruited for this position especially for his exploration knowledge. He serves on the Nominations and Remuneration Committees, and was chairman of the latter, and Senior Independent Director, for 3 years prior to his retire from the board at the end of April 2014.
He joined the board of Premier Oil in May 2014.
He retired from BP plc in 2003, his last four positions being Chief Geophysicist (1990-1995), Business Unit Leader (General Manager) for first West Africa and then Norway (1995-1999), and finally Head of Exploration until 2003.
He has served on the boards of Paras Ltd, a small exploration and IS/IT consulting company in which he held 22% equity, until its sale to RPS Energy in 2008 and Welltec a/s, a Danish well engineering company, as the nominee of the private equity investor Riverside.
From 2012 to 201 he was on the board of ASX-quoted Australia Oriental Energy as a non-executive director.
He was a founder of Richmond Energy Partners, a small oil & gas research house, and several media companies that focus on the oil & gas sector, and has served as an advisor to Alliance Bernstein, Opus Executive, the Parkmead Group plc, and Kimmeridge Energy LLP. Since retiring from BP, he has undertaken asset and company valuation projects for investment banks, hedge funds and small oil companies.

Alan J Cohen - Director - Business Development & Partnerships - PETROLERN LLC
Profitable Geothermal Energy Generation from Reconverted Late-Stage Oil Industry Wells
Talk Description.
Authors: Alan J Cohen, Joseph Batir, Kevin Kitz, Hamed Soroush
Geothermal energy currently plays a small role in meeting the world's energy demand, and commercial production has been mainly focused on high-temperature, often volcanic formations that limit development to certain regions of the globe. For over a decade, research and discussions looked into opportunities to produce geothermal electricity and/or heat from existing lower temperature sedimentary formations, yet there is still no commercial development.
To improve the profitability of these resources, Petrolern has developed an integrated, patented screening platform to identify appropriate oil and gas wells for being converted to geothermal sources of heat and/or electricity. These existing late-stage, shut-in, or unplugged holes remove the significant cost of drilling new wells. The screening tool integrates modules defining critical parameters for the Reservoir, Borehole, Surface System, Environment, Infrastructure, and Economics, with screening tests at intermediate stages to define potential profitability for conversion of a well or group of closely spaced wells. Uncertainty of parameters and sensitivity of outcome to relevant parameters are handled through probabilistic simulation and economic viability is determined for each project.
Our projections from sample conceptual conversion projects indicate repurposing some oil and gas wells to geothermal heat and power production is profitable with an internal rate of returns (IRR) in the range of interest (7 to 27 %) to investment banks. Sample costs of produced electricity are in the range from 3 to 5 US cents per Kilowatt-hour, even without tax credits or abandonment deferrals. Co-production of hydrocarbons and geothermal energy is also feasible. Not only does the conversion of geothermal energy avoid the cost of drilling new wells and defer the cost of abandonment for the life of the geothermal system, it also indicates commitment to green energy solutions. Project costs can be kept even lower as cheaper more flexible modular power systems are tested and become commercial. These are under investigation.
Internationally recognized executive and geoscientist, Dr. Alan J Cohen serves PETROLERN LLC as Director of technology partnerships and business development for geothermal, carbon storage, and oil and gas. He has over 35 years of experience in leadership and senior advisory positions in upstream oil and gas E&P operations, green energy solutions, R&D and technology maturation in the geosciences and engineering, and in midstream. He served as Senior Executive at the US Department of Energy ($90MM budget), was CTO at two technology companies, and Chief Geophysicist at Royal Dutch Shell - North and South America. He was Adjunct Professor - Geology at University of Louisiana.
Now working technology partnerships and commercialization in: real-time subsurface monitoring, novel downhole tools, physics-based machine learning, and greener energy solutions. Has done business development and led projects on all continents in over 30 countries. Alan holds a PhD and MS (Physics) from Harvard University and BSc (Chemistry) from McGill. Patent co-inventor on de-risking the conversion of fossil energy to geothermal power or heat.

The Geothermal Energy Advancement Association (GEAA) advocates increased investment in geothermal energy and increased awareness of this sustainable source for near zero-carbon power, heat, and hot water. The Association is a not-for-profit organisation offering leadership, dialogue, and information in the energy transition debate, supporting the role of geothermal in transitioning to a world that will use less petroleum specifically and fossil fuels in general.
GEAA officially took effect on April 14.
