Performance Excellence

....remains a challenge in our industry 0

Thursday, June 12, 2014, London, The Geological Society

Performance in the oil & gas industry continue to present major challenges.

In Exploration, the last 18 months to two years have revealed abject performance, with poor success rates, whether in Mature areas such as NW Europe or in the Frontiers.

Developments are habitually late, or way over budget, or fail to deliver their production promises.

Production shortfalls are all too common.

What is going on? Does anybody know!

We invite insightful contributions on these topics – please contact David Bamford directly.

Since 2004, he has been a non-executive director at Tullow Oil plc, being recruited for this position especially for his exploration knowledge.

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.

Peter Parry - Partner; Leader, Oil & Gas Division - Bain & Co

Operational Excellence Delivery: The projects and mature asset challenge

Talk Description.
Operational and performance excellence has belatedly risen to the top of IOC agendas. The increase in capital spending to sustain production and mature asset performance below expectation have combined to squeeze performance to levels where both management teams and shareholders are concerned enough to move into action.

Changing performance brings two new concepts to life, 'affordability' for projects and 'predictability' for production assets.

What does or will operational excellence look like?
What analysis and intervention is appropriate?
What actions are yielding success?
Peter Parry is a partner in Bain & Company’s London office and a leader in the firm's Global Oil & Gas practice. He has extensive experience in strategy development, technology management, operations and commercial negotiation. He has worked extensively with the energy industry’s leading players over the past 28 years, including international majors, national oil companies, independent oil, and oilfield and engineering service companies.

Peter has a particular interest in strategies for corporate growth and shareholder return performance. He has extensive experience working alongside executive management in the oil majors and national oil companies, developing and implementing growth strategies.

He has assisted companies to develop technology portfolio management strategies and long-term technology investment plans, and to more closely integrate technical service activities, R&D, and field operations.

He has also played high-profile roles in the World Economic Forum and with the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria. He has written and published a number of articles and papers on the oil and gas sector, on the low carbon agenda and on the effectiveness of public/private partnerships.

Prior to joining Bain & Company, Peter worked for Booz Allen Hamilton where he led the global upstream oil and gas consulting business. Previous roles have included managing director of Arthur D Little’s UK consulting and R&D business, manager in the Energy Corporate Finance team of a UK merchant bank and a technical specialist for the geophysical consultancy Scott Pickford and Associates.

Peter is a member of the Association of International Petroleum Negotiators and the Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain.

Bain & Company is the consulting firm the world's business leaders come to when they want enduring results, and a partner who cares as much as they do about getting them. Together, we find value across boundaries, develop insights they act on, and energize their teams to sustain success.

Robert Waterhouse - Managing Director - Rosha Resources Ltd

Why is everyone, other than the shareholders, doing very nicely?

Talk Description.
There are numerous 'winners' in E&P: the
governments, the local communities and companies, the company boards, geologists, Nomads, accountants, seismic contractors, drilling contractors etc etc etc.

And only one 'loser'. The poor old shareholder.
Robert has previously been involved in marketing non-seismic exploration technology to international E&Ps, and he is currently focused upon executive search and executive coaching for senior management at natural resources and other companies. His career spans the private, public and civil service sectors. He studied the History of Science in his degree.

Dr. Marcus T Richards - Formerly Group CEO of Dana Petroleum plc - Finding Petroleum

The need for change!


After three very successful years leading Dana Petroleum plc., Marcus Richards stepped down as Group Chief Executive at the end of 2013. Marcus joined the company following its takeover by the Korea National Oil Corporation in late 2010, transforming it from an investor-led business into a fully-fledged exploration, development and production company. Dana now operates in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The growth strategy launched in 2011 led to exploration and appraisal successes in the UK, Netherlands and Egypt, creating opportunities for future developments. Production grew to 55,000 barrels per day, and Dana shifted its focus from a largely non-operated portfolio towards more operated positions. Dana’s $1.6 billion Western Isles development project approved by the UK Government in late 2012 will provide an additional 40,000 barrels of daily production when it comes on stream in 2015.

Prior to joining Dana, Marcus spent much of his early career with BP. Over a period of 27 years he held a number of business leadership, functional and technical roles within Exploration & Production and BP Group culminating in the role of Senior Vice President corporate headquarters in London. The role covered Upstream E&P and Downstream Refining businesses. Prior to this appointment he held the position of Director and Business Unit Leader, BP Exploration Operating Company Limited for BPs North Sea businesses dealing with the UK, Norway and the Netherlands. His experience includes managing large-scale multi-disciplinary and international teams in operational, major project, research & development arenas. He is a founding shareholder and advisor to Tier One Capital Ltd, Independent Wealth Management and advisory to the financial sector. He holds a BSc (Hons) and PhD, and is an alumnus of Harvard University.
