Nur Gesellschaften die erhebliche Einnahmen generieren können sind in der Lage zur Finanzierung von Initiativen zur Senkung des CO2-Ausstoßes.

(WK-intern) – Wenn der Staatshaushalt und die Sozialkassen sozusagen leer sind, keine der Inflation angepassten Renten mehr gezahlt werden können, ist dies immer ein erstes Anzeichen für einen wirtschaftlichen und finanziellen Einbruch.

Erneuerbare Gesellschaften müssen in Regionen tätig sein mit stabilen, vorhersehbare wirtschaftlichen Umgebungen, die erhebliche Einnahmen generieren können. Wie sie heute ihre Rentabilität maximieren, trägt erheblich zur Finanzierung von Initiativen zur Senkung des CO2-Ausstoßes bei.

SMART OPERATIONS: DRIVING A LOWER CARBON FUTURE – CALL FOR PAPERS

The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), The Hydrographic Society in Scotland (THSIS) and The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) are jointly holding their annual online seminar in November 2021, with the theme ‘Smart Operations: Driving a Lower Carbon Future’.

As the trio of societies explain:

“Our members businesses continue to operate in mature regions – stable, predictable environments that can generate significant revenue. How they maximise profitability today is a significant contributor to funding lower carbon initiatives.

“Mature regions expect a reduction of large greenfield projects – with operator focus shifting toward smart operations: efficient exploration methods, short cycle projects and lower OPEX. This promotes lower development costs, standardised infrastructure and increased utilisation driving production costs down.

“Our members’ challenge is to deliver developments in the most efficient & sustainable way possible, maximising value today, tomorrow and for the future.”

Abstracts of 150 words are invited considering the following topics of interest to members of all three societies, with the aim of providing a 20-minute presentation.

Today’s challenges are to promote ‘Infrastructure Led Exploration and Development’ by considering:

• Data led decision-making
• Brown-field remote sensing & detection
• Enhanced Oil Recovery
• Conversion of legacy data to digital
• Reservoir monitoring techniques
• Re-purposing facilities

Tomorrow’s challenges focus on delivering continued value more efficiently from existing facilities by considering:

• Standard tie-back approaches
• Life extension / condition monitoring /inspection
• Carbon footprint of operating, maintaining, and servicing new & existing infrastructure
• Basin data lakes
• Economics / effective investment, how and where are the decisions made?

Future challenges could unlock further value, through reducing cost and risk by considering:

• Un-crewed facilities and vessels
• Subsea from shore – remote operations and interventions
• Simplifying commercial arrangements
• Decarbonising vessel operations
• Infrastructure sharing agreements
• Subsea power generation & storage
• Robotics & Level of Autonomy

Abstracts should be submitted to callforpapers@sut.org by 30 July 2021
