AAPG Oslo 2008 — AAPG European Region Conference
October 5-7, 2008
Hotel Bristol • Oslo, Norway
Meeting Overview
“I think the uniqueness of this meeting is demonstrated by the interest already shown from a diverse range of companies that will be contributing presentations on topics such as new exploration plays and discoveries, innovative production and development schemes, the latest EOR/IOR techniques and environmental innovations. The opportunity to discuss the fiscal mechanisms that could be proposed to maintain current levels of activity with representatives of the stakeholder Governments on the final day is advantageous. That is our value proposition to the attendees.“
Keith Gerdes, Shell

The program includes presentations on all the latest activities which are helping to maintain the position of the North Sea as a major focus area for the hydrocarbon industry.
The latest techniques being used to maintain production and development in some of the mature Giant fields oil fields by major IOCs. (Shell, Statoil etc.).
The latest applications of technology in previously technically challenging accumulations such as HP/HT, low poroperm etc. (Total and DONG).
The role of new entrants seeing and maximising value in mature fields (Apache).
The role of new exploration companies with innovative ideas on new plays and previously unloved reserves and their recent record of success bringing the exploration story right up-to-date (Nexen, Oilexco, Nautical).
The approaches being pursued in the North Sea Petroleum Province to address the challenges being presented to the global oil industry and to safeguard the future e.g. Environmental, Personnel and Fiscal/Commercial. (Konkraft, Statoil, Shell, North Sea regional government representatives).
