The speaker rostrum for the OWC 2014
was developed over a dedicated 10
week research period which enabled us
to identify the very best in field of well
control. The individuals listed adjacent
were identified as industry leaders and
each presentation is bespoke, analytical
and focused.
We don’t use a call for papers, each speaker
is handpicked – often nominated by
industry peers.
By taking this approach we have developed
a speaker line up of regional and
international subject matter experts who
will collectively deliver an unrivalled set of
presentations at the conference for you,
the delegate.

3. A LETTER FROM THE CONFERENCE DIRECTOR
Well control is both a complex and critical aspect of
any drilling program in the Gulf of Mexico. A robust
well control program ensures the safety of the
workforce, the reliability of equipment and protects
the environment from the release of hydrocarbons.
The regulatory framework for well control has been
developing at pace since the Macondo disaster in
2010. BSEE’s Final Drilling Safety Rule, released
in August 2012, sought to significantly improve
drilling safety by strengthening requirements for
safety equipment, well control systems, and
blowout prevention practices in offshore oil and
gas operations.
More updates to 20 CRF 250 are expected, namely
with the implementation of API’s Standard 53
and developments to Best Available and Safest
Technologies. (BAST)
Finally, the publication of the International
Association of Oil & Gas Producers (OGP)
Recommendations for Enhancements to Well
Control Training, Examination & Certification
Report, published in 2012, represented an
increasing emphasis on the non-technical skills
which form a critical part of any well control
program.
These developments are essential for the future
of the industry given the resurgence of the Gulf
of Mexico as a global hotspot for oil and gas
exploration and production and the need to ensure
safe operations. Due mainly to improvements in
seismic technologies and significant new plays
being identified in the pre-salt Lower Tertiary
Layer, it is estimated that this market contains
an estimated 15 billion barrels of oil, valued at
approximately $1.5 trillion based on current prices.
In order for industry to capitalize on this significant
opportunity compliantly and safely, it is now more
important than ever before to share information on
the key non-technical criteria that make up effective
well control processes.
The Origin of OWC 2014
OWC 2014 was developed in collaboration with the
offshore community over the course of a 12 week
research program consisting of in-depth primary
discussion with 45+ leading industry figures. Below
is an overview of the organizations that were
engaged to help us to define the program:
OWC 2014 is a must attend event in 2014 for any
organization involved in drilling activity in the Gulf of
Mexico. I look forward to seeing you there.
