Full Details

The Northern North Sea still provides fresh opportunities for exploration, development and production. In common with other mature provinces it has seen an influx of smaller independent operators filling the vacuum left in the wake of departing majors from aging assets. Working in a high oil price environment these enthusiastic players have targeted new plays leading to exploration successes eg (Rinnes Discovery). They have also embraced the challenge of developing unconventional accumulations (eg heavy oil) and extending the life of mature assets. Continual improvement in oil recovery demands ongoing technological innovation to meet production challenges and maximize field value.

Following on from the successful workshops held on the Southern Gas Basin (2007) and Central North Sea (2008), the purpose of this one day joint SPE/Geological Society seminar is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas arising from recent experiences of exploration, development and production activities in the Northern North Sea.
