Development of Netherlands A&B Block shallow gas fi elds

Gerard�Schut,�General�Manager,�Chevron�E&P�Netherlands�|�09.55

Shallow gas fi elds were traditionally viewed as undesirable, and activities focused on exploration beneath these discoveries. Nowadays they’re seen as one of the unconventional gas resources in The Netherlands. The shallow gas fi elds can be described as thin, areally extensive reservoirs that are found at shallow depths; these formations are often very fi ne-grained and unconsolidated sand. This presentation discusses the challenges to successfully develop the shallow gas fi elds.

SUBSEA w o r l dn e w s

New technology, increased gas recovery

Bart�van�de�Leemput,�Managing�Director�NAM�and�Vice�President�for�partner�operated�ventures�of�Shell�in�Europe�|�11.15

NAM’s portfolio by now is mature: small gas fi elds are running empty, and new discoveries are ever smaller. Smart technology and innovation continue to enable extending the lifetime of this portfolio, both through keeping existing fi elds longer in production, and enabling the economic development of smaller fi elds. In this presentation Bart will show examples, both on lowering costs and increasing production, offshore as well as onshore.

Advancements in subsea installation capabilities

Jack�Spaan,�Manager�Offshore�Projects,�Jumbo�Offshore�|�11.40

The Fairplayer, one of Jumbo Offshore’s two versatile DP II class heavy lift vessels, is planned to be engaged in the installation of relatively voluminous pipeline protection structures. This presentation will cover details of this installation and the challenges associated with the preparations and execution. The planned installation work is to build upon the experience gained with a complex deepwater project in the Gulf of Mexico. For the assistance in the installation of a number of hybrid risers in the Gulf of Mexico, Jumbo Offshore invested in a Deepwater Deployment System on board the Fairplayer.

Tidal energy: update on technology and incentives

Roger�Bason,�CEO,�Natural�Currents�Energy�Services�|�10.05

As tidal energy technology moves into early stage commercial development, a critical industry milestone is reached. Five key questions include: What is the state of tidal energy technology? What approaches for potential incentives presently exist or are projected for the near future? How do Europe and the US compare? Can non-producing oil rigs be transformed to provide economic return from tidal power generation? What characteristics would make an existing site a producer of tidal electric power?

General market outlook for unconventional gas and its implications for the energy market

Jasper�de�Kock,�Sales�Manager�Unconventional,�UGS,�CCS,�Geothermal,�Baker�Hughes�|�13.05

Unconventional gas in the Netherlands: is there a future?

Rien�Herber,�Professor�Geo-Energy,�University�of�Groningen�|�13.20

Unconventional gas resources have a regional extent and generally no well-defi ned gas-water contact. Development of unconventional gas is quite successful other parts of the world. The question is whether the Netherlands, as part of a highly prolifi c gas province stretching from the Southern UK upto Poland, may also have material exploration potential for unconventional gas.

Tomorrow’s gas production in the Netherlands

Guido�Hoetz,�Lead�Technology,�EBN�|�13.35

Today’s E&P business in the Netherlands is considered highly mature, yet the current level of drilling activity is still signifi cant. However, it is clear that new roads have to be explored in order to keep the domestic gas production at present levels.

Additional future gas contributions can originate from seven categories for each of which EBN has developed roadmaps that show the way how to unlock more gas.

A new approach to deep sea dredging

Peter�Anssems,�Sales�Manager�Dredging�Equipment�Europe,�Damen�|�11.30

Normally a Jumbo Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger is used for dredging at depths of more than 100m. This requires a large

investment. The expensive dredging equipment is only used while dredging. This equipment is mainly “dead cargo” when sailing to the place of delivering the sand. The new approach requires a signifi cantly lower investment. This new concept is a reliable, inexpensive system to dredge at sea at great depths over 100 m.
