Past event: HPHT Wells Summit 2015

Maximising Efficiency while Minimising Downtime and Expenditure is Paramount in 2015

The low oil prices are forcing companies to operate HPHT drilling and completion projects with reduced manpower and stringent budget allowances, placing extreme pressure on HPHT managers.

Preparing for this by understanding the most contemporary technology available for robust well design, rig monitoring, pressure testing, mechanical testing and modelling, managed pressure drilling, facility interfacing, narrow margin drilling and drilling safety has become even more critical.

The 11th Annual HPHT Wells Summit will align itself with current market conditions in HPHT drilling, engineering, production and completion to ensure companies have the opportunity to both systematically optimise the design of new projects and complete existing ones.

Global case studies from Wintershall in the North Sea, Shell in Nigeria and Petronas in Malaysia will explore best-practice HPHT well development.


Join HPHT specialists sharing their knowledge to:

  • Explore technical case studies from international operators Wintershall, BG Group, Sasol and Shell to learn how they have successfully overcome crucial obstacles in drilling and completions
  • Evaluate technical innovation from leading solution and technology providers such as Castrol, Plexus and Tenaris, that can reduce costs, maximise efficiency and effectively maintain well control in hostile environments
  • Gain industry insight into compliance and regulatory standards: An overview of the latest requirements regarding HPHT with an interactive discussion moderated by the UK government's HSE and DECC
  • Discuss how operators are managing the skill gap and the anticipated impact of the 'Great Crew Change'

Special Features at this year's Summit include:

Case Study Led International Technical Programme: The programme includes real life international case studies from operators of HPHT Wells. This case study led approach will allow you to benchmark and learn from key successes you can incorporate into your HPHT operations.

Speed Networking: Take advantage of this informal networking session to meet with fellow operating HPHT engineers. The session has been created to help you make new connections that might turn out to be vital in your future projects. Don't forget to bring your business card!
