About our Conference

Recovery: Everyone plays a Part! Preparations for next year’s DEVEX joint SPE, PESGB and AFES conference have now commenced. It is once again my pleasure to Chair the event on behalf of the Aberdeen Formation Evaluation Society, who lead the event this year. Following on from the success of last year’s event, where over 350 delegates, and 26 exhibitors attended a 2 day technical programme with 46 presentations, 2 pre-conference courses and associated evening events, DEVEX is now firmly established as Scotland’s premier sub-surface conference. This year we hope to build on this strength by attracting an audience from across Europe - if we can get 500 delegates across the threshold then we will be delivering a truly world class event. We are seeking Abstracts for presentations (which need not be formal papers) in the following areas: Past Experience/Future Opportunity Reservoir Management Case Histories Appraisal through Development Strategies Field Abandonment CO2 Disposal and Gas Storage Heavy Oil Development Tight Gas Development Living with volatile oil prices and costs Initiating IOR and EOR Projects Impact of Current Commodity Price on A&D Activity Novel Technologies – Risk or Opportunity? SMART fields Small is Beautiful? The Challenge of Small Field Developments Subsea and topsides technologies European Focus (Non-UK Assets) Different Perspectives – cross-border learnings Maximising Well Productivity/Injectivity Well Construction Performance Focus on Formation Damage Resurrection Fields Drilling through depleted reservoirs Breathing life back into Mature Fields Managing Stranded Field Development Emerging Hot Topics Living with De Keyser faults Deadline for submission: 31 January 2010. From a commercial standpoint I’m sure you will find that, with its reasonable delegate and exhibition cost, participation at DEVEX provides a first rate technical experience and is excellent value for money. DEVEX is a team effort, if you would like to help in any way or be willing to join the Organising Committee please contact me: graham.davis@cnrinternational.com or any menber of tthe organising Committee.
