“Despite the rapid pace of growth
in onshore oil production in North
America, offshore oil production
will account for 30% of the growth
in global oil production capacity of
9.3 mb/d between 2011 and 2017,”
explained Michael Cohen (Senior Oil
Market Analyst at the International
Energy Agency) during his presentation
on the mid-term outlook for the oil
and gas industry in Rotterdam.
Cohen shared his views during the
first ever Offshore Energy Stakeholder
meeting, organized by Navingo on the
26th of February at Deloitte’s office in
Rotterdam’s Maastoren building. The
event brought together oil and gas
professionals, captains of industry, and
other stakeholders with an interest
in offshore energy for a program of
informative presentations, informal
industry development discussions
and the agenda for Offshore Energy
Exhibition & Conference 2013.

Introduction stakeholder meetingThe first ever Offshore Energy Stakeholder Meeting took place in Rotterdam
on February 26. This meeting brought together oil and gas professionals who
are interested in offshore energy for an afternoon of informative lectures and
informal discussions about industry developments, and to discuss the agenda
for Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2013.
By Jo Peters, Secretary General of NOGEPA, Netherlands Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Association
www.offshore-energy.biz
Michael Cohen (IEA): “ Offshore oil production continues to be essential for global production.”

Offshore oil production will remain a key
part of global supplies, growing by 3 mb/d
in the next five years after its growth of
more than 5 mb/d in the last 5 years.
Cohen and others believe this figure will
continue to mature, despite several onshore
develop ments. North Sea production
and spending will continue to increase,
as will output in the US Gulf of Mexico,
Latin-America, and Africa. Asia will show
both staggering gas production increases
and energy demand growth.
Deepwater supplies
Cohen also highlighted how deepwater
and ultra-deepwater supplies are key
contributors to supply growth outside of
OPEC countries, and how they account for
a third of the increase in non-OPEC output
between 2011 and 2017.
Overall, offshore projects are gaining in
project complexity. This goes hand in hand
with increasing risks and the need for new
technologies. All reasons why the need for
new technical talentremains a key concern
for the industry. Offshore Energy offers
professionals a platform to discuss these
and other challenges associated with future
sector growth. The two-day event includes
an exhibition where an expected 500
supply chain companies will showcase their
products and services. Next to that, there is
an accompanying conference that covers
key topics and solutions for the offshore
community. Offshore Energy 2013 takes
place on the 15th and 16th of October in
RAI, Amsterdam. The 2012 edition attracted
7,632 visitors representing 45 nationalities.
Last February, the annual meeting
of the Offshore Energy Committee of
Recommendation took place. The group of
fifteen men and one woman – the outgoing
Director of Scheepsbouw Nederland, Mieke
Bakker – have been coming together to
discuss Offshore Energy for the last three
years. During their meetings, they discuss
the major growth and development aspects
of Offshore Energy, and report their findings
and opinions to the organization. Based
on the facts and figures from the last OE
edition in 2012, along with some high level
questions for the 2013 edition, this year
will once again present many innovations,
developments, and strategies that will
highlight the internationalization and
themes of Offshore Energy. The organization
treats the findings and opinions of the
Committee carefully (due to their industry
standing), and members include individuals
from the offshore, oil and gas, and renewable
energy sectors. They work with various
operators, branches, multinationals, etc.
Together they are an accurate reflection of
the international market and that makes
them very valuable to OE.
One of the main issues discussed in their
previous meeting included the importance
of the Industry Panel’s internationalization.
The Industry Panel got its start in 2012 with
a selection of top Dutch industry debaters.
Internationalization is needed so that global
energy discussions can be deliberated with
an international audience of stakeholders
and captains of industry. Knowledge transfer
is key at Offshore Energy. Furthermore,
Offshore Energy has started to develop its
role of ‘stepping stone’ to the world market
these last few years; a very important
role and one that is further highlighted by
OE being held in the international city of
Amsterdam.
Introduction stakeholder meeting
Stepping Stone to the world market
We are very pleased to welcome
Mr. Martin C.J. van Pernis to our
Committee of Recommendation. Mr.
van Pernis has been president of KIVI
NIRIA since May 1 2010. KIVI NIRIA is
the Dutch association for engineers
and engineering students. With
23,000 members, KIVI NIRIA is the
largest engineering association in
the Netherlands.
After a long career at Siemens
Netherlands N.V., including 8 years as
chairman, he retired in 2010. Beside
his position as president of KIVI NIRA
he is the chairman of Vernieuwing
Bouw (which superseded the Dutch
Council for Innovation in Building and
Construction 1 and 2) and has held
various supervisory and regulatory
functions.

Offshore visions
Whilst the importance of our offshore
industry is undoubtedly clear to everyone
involved, the perception of the general public
may be focused predominantly towards
events which make it onto the primetime
news. I would like people to see our offshore
business in an integrated context of health,
safety and environment on the one hand,
and economy, secure energy supply and
accelerated energy transition on the other.
With respect to this energy transition,
political decision makers have focused chiefly
on increasing the percentage of renewable
sources of energy, such as solar and wind.
Nevertheless, over the past two decades,
global CO2 emissions have continued to
increase. If we are honest, we have to
admit that, so far, renewable energy
resources have not mitigated the global
climate problem at all.
In order to successfully tackle the climate
issue, we will need to find and implement
solutions that enable us to reduce global
CO2 emissions in the short term in an
affordable way. In my view, this can best
be done by increasing the share of natural
gas in the fossil part of our energy mix.
Additionally, we will need to develop new
technologies that give us efficient and
affordable renewable energy sooner rather
than later. I am convinced that at that point
in time, there will still be plenty of oil and
gas around. Just like the Stone Age did not
end because of a lack of stones, the fossil
era will not end because of a lack of oil and
gas. Rather, because new technologies will
have become available, rendering fossil
fuels obsolete.
Natural gas is relatively clean, it is
abundantly available, it is affordable and it
can easily be handled in the current energy
infrastructure. It can be used as a heating
fuel, converted to automotive fuels, offer
a backup source for renewables like solar
and wind, and be used for domestic and
industrial purposes.
The general public will feel happy in the
quest to increase the current share of solar
and wind technologies in the energy supply
until the point comes when they can no
longer afford to pay their energy bill. We
really need new technology and we need
to start investing the money to get it now,
since the transition of energy systems takes
decades rather than years. After some
thirty years of development, wind energy is
merely close to a one per cent share in our
current energy mix.
And whilst some people endeavour to save
our planet by denying the essential role of
gas in the energy transition, exploration
and production of oil and gas will remain
key; not only to secure our energy supply
for decades to come, but also to accelerate
the energy transition. To put it more clearly:
without sufficient natural gas in the energy
mix, the energy transition desired by so
many will, in my view, soon grind to a halt.
“If we are honest, we have to admit that, so far, renewable energy resources have not mitigated the global climate problem at all.”
Column by Jo Peters
After almost three decades in the downstream division of a
major energy and petrochemicals company, I was given the
opportunity to discover a dimension of the world that had,
so far, been hidden for me.
The Netherlands, the country where I was born and raised,
actually turned out to be three times bigger than I had been
taught at school, its centre marked by the “northern” town
of Den Helder rather than the “central” city of Utrecht.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are
available in all sizes and are applied
to various fields of services, including
aerial mapping, surveying, security,
inspections, etc. When it comes to
the wind energy market the UAVs or
drones are already being used for blade
inspections on land-based turbines.
The idea has been picked up by a few
companies to apply the drones for
inspections in the offshore environment.
One such company is Skeye B.V.
Created in January of this year, Skeye
B.V. specializes in aerial surveying and
inspections by using unmanned aircraft.
The company combines the experience
of two existing Dutch companies,
Image2Info bv, specialized in aerial
photography, and Deep BV, a survey
company specialized in hydrography,
geophysics, and oceanography.
A multicopter, the Eagle-Eye, and an
UAV, Bird-Eye, were acquired for aerial
photography and measurements on
land. In January of this year, Skeye did
their first project for the wind industry.
The Eagle-Eye was used to carry out an
inspection on the blades of a land-based
wind turbine after reports surfaced of
gun shots being fired in the vicinity of
the turbine.
Skeye is confident that inspections like
this can also be done offshore, and
believes that using unmanned vehicles
adds to the safety aspect of the industry.
There would be no need for helicopter
transport of inspection personnel. Next
to the safety factor, it would also be a
quicker and possibly a more economical
method of performing an offshore
inspection.
Existing drones, however, would not be
adequate for use in the harsh offshore
environment. As a result, the company
invested in a microdrone, a miniaturized
VTOL-aircraft (Vertical Take Off and
Landing), type md4-1000, from German
manufacturer, microdrones GmbH.
It has been renamed by Skeye into
“Falcon Eye” and is a four-engine, armed,
gearless drone with a diameter of 1.70m.
At the moment Skeye is looking to test
the Falcon Eye on location in an actual
offshore environment.

Fourth high-speed support vessel for Marineco
The ‘Marineco Thunderbird’ is UK based
Marineco’s fourth FCS 2610 Twin Axe.
Marineco was the first customer to buy
one of these vessels nearly two and a
half years ago, based on a design for an
Offshore and Offshore Wind support
vessel which Damen really believed in.
The recent purchase of Thunderbird is
proof of the concept and its future.
Siemens will be deploying Thunderbird
off the west coast of England, at the
same latitude as Barrow, where it will
be used to perform installation and
maintenance work for Walney Offshore
Windfarms.
The vessel’s superstructure is spacious,
offering sleeping accommodation (four
two-person cabins) and making it possible
for the crew to stay on-site for longer
periods of time.
FCS 2008
The FCS 2008, a smaller version of the
FCS 2610, will be introduced on the market
in the summer of 2013. Smaller size,
lower fuel consumption and an attractive
purchase price will make this vessel a
strong competitor for other makes of
comparable size.
Marineco
Damen Shipyards has had a long and
solid relationship with Marineco. Every
vessel in Marineco’s fleet is a Damen
vessel. This enables their experienced
crews to offer optimum service in the
fields of towing, anchor handling,
cable laying, dredge-pipe connection,
ship-to-ship transfers, coastline
restoration and pushboat handling.

Next-frontier E&P projects and the growing importance of social responsibility
Offshore Energy Conference 2013The oil and gas industry is always
pushing boundaries to satisfy the world’s
ever-growing energy demands. Most of
the production increase needed to meet
global energy demands will be realized
offshore. Increasingly, operators will
invest in deepwater, ultra deepwater and
arctic projects. These next-frontier E&P
activities demand the development of new
technologies. But they also underline the
growing importance of social responsibility
management, including thorough risk
management. During Offshore Energy
Exhibition & Conference in Amsterdam,
ample attention will be put on both the
technical and non-technical challenges
associated with the industry’s future growth.
Changing societal and stakeholder
expectations make social responsibility
management an integral part of a business’
strategy. Social responsibility, commonly
referred to as HSSE-SR, encompasses the
traditional HSE portfolio but also includes
considerations of stakeholder management,
community relations, and procurement/
local content.
Although these aspects of SR management
are typically associated with onshore
production environments – think in particular
of densely populated areas but also, for
example, remote areas that cross multiple
national boundaries – they are becoming
increasingly important for offshore projects
as well. A calamity offshore can have
far-reaching environmental and societal
consequences.
Risk managementThe upcoming edition of Offshore Energy
Exhibition and Conference on 15 & 16
October 2013 in Amsterdam will pay
particular attention to advances and
best practices in risk assessment and
risk management. One of the confirmed
speakers, Professor Tinka Murk, is currently
developing a decision support model that
can be applied in response to a calamity
involving oil spills at sea. The research
project is part of TripleP@Sea, a major
research innovation program of Wageningen
UR (University and Research centre) into
the smart and sustainable use of marine
ecosystems.
The decision support model should make
it possible to choose the best oil spill
response (least impact, cost-effective),
making use of site-specific information
about ecosystems, economic functions,
currents and meteorology.
Offshore Energy ConferencesIn addition to the industry wide theme of
risk assessment and risk management, the
two-day Offshore Energy Conference program
also addresses regional developments that
focus in particular on East-Africa, Latin
America, and the North Sea region. Running
parallel to the exhibition, the two-day
program offers high caliber panels and
short technical sessions that address
developments in offshore hydrocarbons
as well as in marine renewable energy. For
the first time, the annual Offshore Wind
Installation and Maintenance Conference
is co-located with Offshore Energy. The
Offshore Energy conference program will
bring together an international faculty of
expert speakers to discuss topical industry
developments, exchange ideas, and network
with over 900 conference delegates.
