Podcast schedule Panels schedule Energy Transition theatre scheduleAs the official OE23 podcast, we have a jampacked podcast schedule where we will discuss the latest industry trends and insights with the people in the know, live from stand 3D40.
Asset operators across the globe are faced with the dual challenge to increase production of critical resources whilst under pressure to decarbonise, digitalise and reduce operating costs. We will delve into how AI is enabling operators to utilise existing data to optimise their maintenance, and perform the right work, at the right time – ultimately unlocking capacity to delivery more efficient and effective operations.
Speakers:
Gordon Buchan, Operations Director, Wood
Stephen Kelman, Operations Director, Wood
Energy security challenges over the last 18months have brought greater pragmatism around the enduring role that hydrocarbons will play in our energy system. However, the need to deliver this energy with the lowest possible carbon intensity remains critical. Hear from industry experts who are leading the decarbonisation challenge and accelerating the transition towards net zero.
Speakers:
Matthew Morley, Business Development Director, Wood
Rebecca Allison, COO, Net Zero Technology Centre
'Digital Twin', the digital buzzword of the decade. There is too much emphasis put on the technology – overlooking the fact that it is just one ingredient in a successful digital transformation. Rob Kennedy, Wood's Director of Digital Twin Solutions looks at an approach to planning and implementing operational digital twins that is designed to maximise the asset owner’s return on investment, by putting the necessary focus on the people, process and information elements, as well as addressing the technology.
Speakers: Rob Kennedy, Director of Digital Twin Studies, Wood
Steve Nicol, Executive President of Operations at Wood talks to Ross Dornan, OEUK's Market Intelligence Manager and author of the 2023 OEUK Economic Report. Delve into the detail of this year’s landmark report, that outlines how we can build the nation's energy security and its low carbon future.
Speakers: Steve Nicol, Executive President of Operations, Wood | Ross Dornan, Market Intelligence Manager, OEUK
Following the earlier panel discussion, Ellis Renforth, President of Operations, EMEA at Wood delves deeper into our energy security challenges in the UK. Alongside Alan Murray from Kellas Midstream, they will discuss how oil and gas will continue to play a pivotal role in our future integrated energy system, and how we can ensure we keep the lights on, whilst navigating an orderly transition.
Speakers: Ellis Renforth, President of Operations, EMEA at Wood | Alan Murray, Chief Operating Officer, Kellas Midstream
'A net zero future will not happen without significant investment in CCUS. The focus on industrial clusters with shared infrastructure, is helping to provide economies of scale and improve the commercial viability of CCS projects. However, there are significant challenges when it comes to capturing and transporting CO2 from a cluster of different emitters. We will share valuable insight on how to safety capture, transport and store CO2, and discuss how these pathfinder projects could set the UK up to lead the way in a developing CCS market.
Speakers:
Hooman Haghighi, Director Decarbonisation Solutions, Wood
James Holbeach, Senior Director for Production Optimisation, Wood
Hydrogen’s versatility and low-carbon credentials mean it should play a crucial role in the integrated energy systems of the future. Yet, too often, continued progress is slowed down by a debate around the ‘colour’ of this important energy vector. Join Wood's decarbonisation team as they discuss why this approach is key to building near and long-term momentum.
Speakers:
Martin Banks, Director of Hydrogen, Wood
Keiren Lake, Siemens
Across the globe, there’s strong commitment on the importance of delivering a net zero future. But while the destination is agreed, the journey to get there will be unique for each individual country. In this podcast, we explore some of the approaches being taken by some of the leading nations across the globe as they look to build momentum behind their net zero ambitions.
Speakers:
Dan Carter, President of Decarbonisation, Wood
Andy Brooks, Director of New Ventures, NSTA
Developing a skilled yet mobile workforce, who can work competently across the energy industry, is key to delivering the energy transition. Join the team as we discuss what a truly mobile workforce looks like, and what crucial steps are needed to ensure we retain and attract talent.
Speakers:
Caroline McMurray, Senior Resourcing Manager, Wood
Faye Sherriffs, Vice President Energy Transition, OPITO
Wood experts are participating in various panel sessions and presentations across the event.
The panel will address the regional approaches to energy transition, including stakeholders from mature energy basins (in both offshore Europe and the large African producers), and from newly discovered ones. Panellists will discuss the priorities for achieving the energy trilemma in their region, and the required enablers.
Speakers:
Sian Lloyd Rees, UK MD, mainstream Renewable Power,
Glenn Brown, EVP Subsurface and Portfolio, Harbour Energy,
Dan Carter, President Clean Energy & Decarbonisation, Wood,
Nicola Grieve, SVP, Aker Solutions,
Arne Gurtner, SVP UK & Ireland, Equinor
This year’s landmark report comes as the security, sustainability and affordability trilemma of our energy system is at the forefront of political and public debate.
OEUK’s Economic Report will outline how we can build the nation’s energy security and its low-carbon future, as well as open new business opportunities and create a stronger economy.
Speakers: Steve Nicol, Executive President of Operations at Wood
With significant excitement about digital twins in the industry, there is far too much emphasis put on the technology – overlooking the fact that it is just one ingredient in a successful digital transformation.

As Energy Transition Theatre sponsor, we look forward to hosting presentation sessions and discussions across the week at the dedicated theatre, situated in the main arena.
Energy security challenges over the last 18 months have brought greater pragmatism around the enduring role that hydrocarbons will play in our energy system. However, the need to deliver this energy with the lowest possible carbon intensity remains critical. In this session, you’ll hear case studies from operators leading the way on the decarbonisation challenge and a panel discussion that explores some of the challenges that still need to be addressed to help accelerate the transition towards a net-zero basin.
Speakers:
Matthew Morley, BD Director, Projects, Wood
Jamie Duff, Performance Excellence Director, Operations EMEA, Wood
Rebecca Allison, Chief Operating Officer, Net Zero Technology Centre
A net zero future will not happen without significant investment in CCUS. The focus on industrial clusters with shared infrastructure, is helping to provide economies of scale and improve the commercial viability of CCS projects. However, there are significant challenges when it comes to capturing and transporting CO2 from a cluster of different emitters. In this session, hear from companies at the forefront of decarbonising some of the UK’s largest industrial clusters. They’ll share valuable insight on how to safely capture, transport and store a ‘cocktail’ of CO2 and explain how these pathfinder projects could set the UK up to be a market leader in the on-going development of a global CCS market.
Speakers:
Dan Carter, President of Decarbonisation, Wood
Hooman Haghigi, Director of Decarbonisation Solutions, Wood
Susan MacKenzie, Project Manager, Spirit Energy

Hydrogen’s versatility and low-carbon credentials mean it should play a crucial role in the integrated energy systems of the future. Yet, too often, continued progress is slowed down by a debate around the ‘colour’ of this important energy vector. In this session, hear more from industry experts on why a ‘colour blind’ approach is key to building near and long-term momentum. You’ll hear about real-life case studies and a panel discussion that explores how industry can drive down the costs of hydrogen production and develop the supply chain to keep pace with the fast-building momentum in this area.
