The committee focuses on the exploration and production (E&P) of conventional and unconventional natural gas resources, the development and use of the latest technological advances and best practices as well as the challenges in accessing these resources. The committee also investigates the “Next Big Thing” in E&P of natural gas including new Gas resource opportunities and future E&P technologies.
The committee recognises that the combination of the devastating effects of the global pandemic on wellbeing and economies, coupled with the volatile oil & gas prices and growing apathy towards fossil fuels, has created an unprecedented "Next-Normal" scenario for global economic recovery and growth in which natural gas has an important role to play as the hybrid-energy source of the future. The committee will focus on: Adopting enabling digital technologies and best practices that will improve well/field performance in an efficient and economical manner, and bringing to market commercially sustainable technology solutions to difficult problems.
