Executive summary This is the Technology Master Plan (TMP) of the European Oil and Gas Innovation Forum (Eurogif). It sets out the research and technology development priorities of the European service and supply industry,which makes up the membership of Eurogif. The purpose of the Technology Master Plan is to identify a set of R&D priorities that will enable the European Service & Supply Industry in co-operation with the operators, universities and research institutes to develop the technology needed to find and produce fossil energy with a minimum of discharge and emissions, whilst also developing ways to use fossil fuels more intelligently through decarbonisation and CO2 Management. This Technology Master Plan is based on the priorities developed in the thematic networks organised by Eurogif in the 5 th Framework Programme (FP5), with additional themes and priorities added to ensure that oil and gas can both satisfy the energy needs in the short to medium term with improved environmental performance, and also provide a bridge to the longer term objectives of the hydrogen economy. The World Energy, Technology and climate policy Outlook (WETO2030) projects an increase in world energy demand of 1.8%/year between 2000 and 2030. The world energy system will continue to be dominated by fossil fuels with almost 90% of total energy supply in 2030. Oil will remain the main source of energy (34%) followed by gas then coal (28%). A 100% increase is projected for natural gas, which in 2030 would represent one quarter of world energy supply, with power generation providing the bulk of the increase. New renewable energies will only account for 4% of the world energy mix. The nuclear energy share is limited by public and political acceptance issues as well as the time needed to develop, qualify, get acceptance and deploy safer and more efficient technologies. In the EU, natural gas is expected to be the second largest energy source, behind oil but ahead of coal and lignite. Nuclear and renewable energies would altogether represent slightly less than 20% of EU energy supply. As energy drives the economy, the industry will have to respond to two major challenges: 1. How to find and develop sufficient resources to ensure security of energy supply. 2. How to conceive and deploy solutions to limit emissions associated with fossil fuels. The European oil and gas industry has developed, over the last 30 years, the technologies needed to enable the North Sea to provide 43% of the oil and 64% of the gas consumed in Europe in 2000. European companies have achieved a 20% share of a very competitive 150 billion euro global services and supplies market, while retaining 70% of the European market, thereby contributing significantly to the European balance of trade and employment. EUROGIF, with support from FP5, has brought together 170 companies, research institutes and universities in thematic networks. The key challenges and business opportunities will be found within the areas of mature fields, deep and ultra deep water, natural gas and non-conventional reservoirs, including decarbonisation and the transition to the hydrogen economy. A private-public partnership in this area can result in a major step on the road to sustainable development and position EU companies as leaders in providing the relevant enabling technologies to the worldwide market. EUROGIF has therefore developed this Technology Master Plan with respect to both finding and developing the oil and gas resources needed to satisfy global energy demand and developing technologies enabling the use of fossil fuels with less CO2 and NOx emissions.
