Landmark Energy Event Puts Strategy and Energy Efficiency on Global Agenda

Select Indus 

Abu Dhabi Reaffirms Position as Global Energy Hub, with More Than 80% of ADIPEC Show Floor 

Already Booked 

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 24 February 2016 – Driving efficiency in the energy sector will form the cornerstone of 

the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 2016, UAE oil and gas leaders 

revealed at a series of high-level industry meetings yesterday. 

Convening in the capital for the first ADIPEC 2016 Executive Committee Meeting and the ADIPEC 2016 

Technical Programme Committee Meeting, key event stakeholders outlined plans for the globally acclaimed 

energy event. More than 80 per cent of the show floor has already been booked for ADIPEC 2016, 

cementing Abu Dhabi’s position as a global energy hub for the exchange of the latest industry knowledge 

and information. 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, 

hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), organised by dmg events, and supported by the 

UAE Ministry of Energy, the Abu Dhabi Chamber, and the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority, ADIPEC 

will take place from 7 to 10 November 2016 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). 

With USD 9.7 billion generated in business last year – nearly double the amount in 2013 – ADIPEC has built 

a solid track record of consistent growth, bolstered by its capacity to bring international decision makers 

under one roof for the common goal of advancing the energy sector locally, regionally, and globally. 

Billed as the premier meeting place for industry professionals, including C-level executives from the world’s 

oil and gas giants, ADIPEC 2016 will be held under the theme “Transitional Strategies for an Efficient and 

Resilient Energy Industry”, setting the agenda for the event’s distinguished Conference Programme. 

Energy efficiency plays a critical role in limiting world energy demand growth to one-third by 2040, while the 

global economy grows by 150 per cent, according to the latest International Energy Agency’s World Energy 

Outlook. The report also indicates that efficiency measures could reduce demand growth to 60 per cent of 

what would otherwise be expected in OPEC countries. 

Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Strategy & Coordination Director at ADNOC and ADIPEC 2016 Chairman, said: 

“What we are witnessing today is a transformation of the global energy landscape, one in which research, 

technology, and innovation play a fundamental role. We firmly believe that innovation and efficiency today 

strongly impacts on the economy of tomorrow. At ADIPEC, we are committed to serving the needs of the oil 

and gas community by providing an international platform where experts from across the globe can share 

best practice assuring a solid future for our industry.” 

ADIPEC 2016 builds on the remarkable success of last year’s record-breaking event, which welcomed more 

than 94,000 attendees, 8,500 delegates, 700 speakers, 2,000 exhibitors, and 23 international pavilions. 

Christopher Hudson, President – Global Energy at dmg events, said: “Industry professionals recognise that 

they must stay ahead of the curve to be resilient in today’s economic environment. At ADIPEC, we firmly 

believe that every challenge presents an opportunity, and embracing sustainability and efficiency is key to 

realising success. The overwhelming response we continue to see year-on-year reflects the industry’s thirst 

for knowledge and information, and we look forward to once again hosting a landmark event that helps 

enable the progress of the energy sector.”

ADIPEC is again providing one of the world’s largest-scale conference programmes, organised in 

collaboration with the Society of Petroleum Engineers, with topics and sub-topics covering both technical and 

non-technical functions in the oil and gas industry. The globally acclaimed forum will bring together 

government ministers, CEOs of the world’s oil and gas giants, and industry experts to address the current 

state and future opportunities for the energy sector. 

The ADIPEC Conference Programme has become the global platform for sourcing the latest and most 

credible information in the oil and gas industry, with continuous progress in both the range and the quality of 

proposals submitted. All abstracts go through a rigorous evaluation process by the Technical Programme 

Committee, ensuring that attendees and delegates have access to valuable content. 

Nearly half of the conference content in 2015 was generated outside the Middle East, cementing the event’s 

position as a global hub for the energy sector. Last year, the ADIPEC Conference Programme received 

2,278 abstracts from 540 organisations across 65 countries, breaking previous records. 

Organisers are looking to continue the record-breaking streak, with a target of gathering more than 2,500 

abstracts ahead of the 21 April submission deadline on topics ranging from Exploration and Production 

Geoscience to Marine and Offshore. 

In line with regional and global efforts to continue exploring and developing offshore production, last year’s 

inaugural ADIPEC Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Zone also witnessed great success, making the 

event the first oil and gas exhibition in the MENA region to dedicate an entire waterfront section to offshore, 

subsea, and marine products and services. The dedicated area gave more than 85 exhibitors from across 

the sector an opportunity to showcase a variety of offshore supplies and services, ranging from ships and 

rigs to oceanography and mapping equipment. 

Also featuring at ADIPEC this year are the ADIPEC Awards, which celebrate excellence in energy, the 

Women in Industry Conference, which tackles some of the most pressing challenges facing women in 

energy, Young ADIPEC, a dedicated ‘edutainment’ programme designed to encourage students to choose a 

career path in energy, and a VIP conference programme for members of the Middle East Petroleum Club. 

Participation in the ADIPEC 2016 Executive Committee meeting and the Technical Programme Committee 

meeting included Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, ADNOC Strategy & Coordination Director and ADIPEC 2016 

Chairman; Mr. Saif Ahmed Alghfeli, CEO of Al Hosn Gas and ADIPEC 2016 Co-Chairman; Mr Fareed 

Abdulla, Senior Vice President – North East Bab (NEB) Asset at ADCO and ADIPEC 2016 Technical 

Conference Chairman; Christopher Hudson, President – Global Energy at dmg events; Jean-Philippe Cossé, 

Vice President – Energy at dmg events, Middle East; Claire Pallen, Conference Director at dmg events, 

Middle East; and Michelle Boyd, Director – SPE Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.

world’s oil and gas giants, ADIPEC 2016 will be held under the theme “Transitional Strategies for an 

Efficient and Resilient Energy Industry”, setting the agenda for the event’s distinguished Conference 

Programme. 

Energy efficiency plays a critical role in limiting world energy demand growth to one-third by 2040, 

while the global economy grows by 150%, according to the latest International Energy Agency’s 

World Energy Outlook. The report also indicates that efficiency measures could reduce demand 

growth to 60% of what would otherwise be expected in OPEC countries. 

Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Strategy & Coordination Director at ADNOC and ADIPEC 2016 Chairman, 

said: “What we are witnessing today is a transformation of the global energy landscape, one in 

which research, technology, and innovation play a fundamental role. We firmly believe that 

innovation and efficiency today strongly impacts on the economy of tomorrow. At ADIPEC, we are 

committed to serving the needs of the oil and gas community by providing an international platform 

where experts from across the globe can share best practice assuring a solid future for our 

industry.” 

ADIPEC 2016 builds on the remarkable success of last year’s record-breaking event, which 

welcomed more than 94 000 attendees, 8500 delegates, 700 speakers, 2000 exhibitors, and 23 

international pavilions. 

Christopher Hudson, President – Global Energy at dmg events, said: “Industry professionals 

recognise that they must stay ahead of the curve to be resilient in today’s economic environment. At 

ADIPEC, we firmly believe that every challenge presents an opportunity, and embracing 

sustainability and efficiency is key to realising success. The overwhelming response we continue to 

see year-on-year reflects the industry’s thirst for knowledge and information, and we look forward to 

once again hosting a landmark event that helps enable the progress of the energy sector.” 

ADIPEC is again providing one of the world’s largest-scale conference programmes, organised in 

collaboration with the Society of Petroleum Engineers, with topics and sub-topics covering both

technical and non-technical functions in the oil and gas industry. The globally acclaimed forum will 

bring together government ministers, CEOs of the world’s oil and gas giants, and industry experts to 

address the current state and future opportunities for the energy sector. 

Conference programme 

The ADIPEC Conference Programme has become the global platform for sourcing the latest and 

most credible information in the oil and gas industry, with continuous progress in both the range and 

the quality of proposals submitted. All abstracts go through a rigorous evaluation process by the 

Technical Programme Committee, ensuring that attendees and delegates have access to valuable 

content. 

Nearly half of the conference content in 2015 was generated outside the Middle East, cementing the 

event’s position as a global hub for the energy sector. Last year, the ADIPEC Conference 

Programme received 2278 abstracts from 540 organisations across 65 countries, breaking previous 

records. 

Organisers are looking to continue the record-breaking streak, with a target of gathering more than 

2500 abstracts ahead of the 21 April submission deadline on topics ranging from Exploration and 

Production Geoscience to Marine and Offshore. 

In line with regional and global efforts to continue exploring and developing offshore production, last 

year’s inaugural ADIPEC Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Zone also witnessed great 

success, making the event the first oil and gas exhibition in the MENA region to dedicate an entire 

waterfront section to offshore, subsea, and marine products and services. The dedicated area gave 

more than 85 exhibitors from across the sector an opportunity to showcase a variety of offshore 

supplies and services, ranging from ships and rigs to oceanography and mapping equipment. 

Women in industry 

Also featuring at ADIPEC this year are the ADIPEC Awards, which celebrate excellence in energy, 

the Women in Industry Conference, which tackles some of the most pressing challenges facing 

women in energy, Young ADIPEC, a dedicated ‘edutainment’ programme designed to encourage 

students to choose a career path in energy, and a VIP conference programme for members of the 

Middle East Petroleum Club. 

Participation in the ADIPEC 2016 Executive Committee meeting and the Technical Programme 

Committee meeting included Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, ADNOC Strategy & Coordination Director 

and ADIPEC 2016 Chairman; Mr. Saif Ahmed Alghfeli, CEO of Al Hosn Gas and ADIPEC 2016 Co- 

Chairman; Mr Fareed Abdulla, Senior Vice President – North East Bab (NEB) Asset at ADCO and

Nine international leaders from some of the world’s most prominent oil 

and gas companies have confirmed their participation in the 19 edition 

of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference 

(ADIPEC 2016), revealed the organisers. 

th



Nahyan, President of the UAE, hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company (ADNOC), and organised by the Global Energy division of dmg 

events, ADIPEC continues to show significant growth, bolstered by repeat 

senior level representation from the world’s industry giants in the event’s 

prestigious Conference Programme. The three CEO Plenary sessions 

within the programme will offer both national and global perspectives on 

achieving sustainable practice in the energy sector. 

Confirmed global CEO speakers include Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of Total; 

Jeff Miller, President of Halliburton; Vicki A. Hollub, President and Chief 

Operating Officer of Occidental Petroleum Corporation; Paal Kibsgaard, 

Chairman and CEO of Schlumberger Limited; Lars Christian Bacher, 

Executive Vice President - Production and Development International at 

Statoil; Mark Garrett, CEO of Borealis; and Toshiaki Kitamura, President 

and CEO at Inpex Corporation. 

Speakers representing leading companies in the region will also be 

participating in the high-level discussions, including Ali Rashid Al Jarwan, 

CEO of the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO), and 

Mohammad Ghazi Al Mutairi, CEO of Kuwait National Petroleum 

Company (KNPC). 

Established as the world’s most influential exhibition and conference for 

the oil and gas industry, ADIPEC has a longstanding track record of 

bringing together globally celebrated luminaries and experts to discuss 

challenges and opportunities in the energy sector. The landmark event is 

anchored on the international presence of some of the world’s leading 

petroleum producing countries, as well as emerging markets, underlining 

its position as the global meeting place for industry professionals. 

With global energy consumption set to increase by slightly more than one-third (34 per cent) 

by 2035 according to BP’s latest Energy Outlook report, and fossil fuels expected to supply 

about 60 per cent of this growth, decision makers are increasingly looking for ways to enhance

Abu Dhabi’s Prestigious Energy Event Attracts Top Executives from 

World’s Leading Oil and Gas Companies 

International Speakers to Include Global CEOs of Total, 

Halliburton, Oxy, and Schlumberger 

Nine international leaders from some of the world’s most 

prominent oil and gas companies have confirmed their 

participation in the 19th edition of the Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC 2016), organisers revealed today. 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President 

of the UAE, hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), and organised by 

the Global Energy division of dmg events, ADIPEC continues to show significant growth, 

bolstered by repeat senior level representation from the world’s industry giants in the 

event’s prestigious Conference Programme. The three CEO Plenary sessions within the 

programme will offer both national and global perspectives on achieving sustainable 

practice in the energy sector. 

Confirmed global CEO speakers include Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of Total; Jeff Miller, 

President of Halliburton; Vicki A. Hollub, President and Chief Operating Officer of 

Occidental Petroleum Corporation; Paal Kibsgaard, Chairman and CEO of Schlumberger 

Limited; Lars Christian Bacher, Executive Vice President – Production and Development 

International at Statoil; Mark Garrett, CEO of Borealis; and Toshiaki Kitamura, President 

and CEO at Inpex Corporation.

Speakers representing leading companies in the region will also be participating in the highlevel 

discussions, including Ali Rashid Al Jarwan, CEO of the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating 

Company (ADMA-OPCO), and Mohammad Ghazi Al Mutairi, CEO of Kuwait National 

Petroleum Company (KNPC). 

Established as the world’s most influential exhibition and conference for the oil and gas 

industry, ADIPEC has a longstanding track record of bringing together globally celebrated 

luminaries and experts to discuss challenges and opportunities in the energy sector. The 

landmark event is anchored on the international presence of some of the world’s leading 

petroleum producing countries, as well as emerging markets, underlining its position as the 

global meeting place for industry professionals. 

With global energy consumption set to increase by slightly more than one-third (34 per cent) 

by 2035 according to BP’s latest Energy Outlook report, and fossil fuels expected to supply 

about 60 per cent of this growth, decision makers are increasingly looking for ways to 

enhance their operational efficiency amid a challenging economic landscape for the 

petroleum industry – one marked by an evolving global energy mix. 

Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Strategy and Coordination Director at ADNOC and ADIPEC 2016

‘Smart’ Efficiency Key to a Resilient Offshore Sector, urge Industry 

Experts 

GCC Countries Look Offshore to Boost Oil and Gas Production; 

Abu Dhabi On Track with USD 25 Billion Offshore Investment 

ADIPEC 2016 Prepares to Host Region’s Largest Waterfront Offshore & Marine Zone, with more than 

100 Exhibitors 

Global Offshore Drilling Rigs Industry Expected to Reach USD 102 Billion by 2019: Industry Report 

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 24 May 2016 – Maximising efficiency without compromising on safety and quality 

is crucial to creating a sustainable offshore sector in today’s economic environment, experts urged 

ahead of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2016). 

According to a recent study by research firm Markets and Markets, the global offshore drilling rigs 

industry is expected to grow from an estimated $65.77 billion in 2014 to $102.47 billion by 2019, at a 

CAGR of 9.27 per cent, representing a sizeable investment in a sector that continues to play an 

instrumental role in the growth of emerging energy markets. 

The same report indicates that the progress of the offshore rigs market largely depends on growing 

exploration activities across the globe. Recent discoveries of oil and gas reserves in remote areas, 

along with increasing technological advancements in terms of equipment, have made drilling 

operations more feasible and cost-effective, according to the research. 

In the region, offshore projects are still on track as countries work towards meeting capacity targets. 

This includes a USD 25 billion (AED 92 billion) investment in offshore oil projects planned by the Abu 

Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) through to 2020, part of the UAE’s strategy to boost its total oil 

output capacity to 3.5 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2017-18. It is estimated offshore reserves will 

account for approximately 50 per cent of total oil production in Abu Dhabi by 2018 as a result of this 

continued investment. 

The Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO), a subsidiary of ADNOC, is currently

operating two major fields – Umm Shaif and Lower Zakum, one of the world’s largest oilfields. The 

company is also developing three new fields: Nasr, Umm Lulu, and Satah Al Razboot, with a targeted 

production capacity of 750,000 bpd from the five fields. 

In line with ongoing global and regional investments in offshore production, ADIPEC 2016 will be 

hosting the second edition of its highly anticipated Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Exhibition 

and Conference. The purpose-built quayside exhibition and conference theatre makes ADIPEC 2016 

host to one of the world’s most exclusive waterfront offshore and marine showcases. 

Following its successful launch last year, the dedicated zone is set to attract more than 100 exhibiting 

companies as global industry professionals come together with the common goal of bringing best 

practice to what has been traditionally recognised as a complex sector. 

Mr Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, CEO of Al Yasat Petroleum Operations Company and ADIPEC 2016 

Chairman, said: “Significant developments in technology have allowed us to safely and efficiently tap 

into deepwater reserves which were previously considered inaccessible. However, today’s market 

presents new challenges, and we must continue to enhance efficiencies without compromising on 

health, safety, or the environment. By combining global expertise with a unique showcase of offshore 

products and services, ADIPEC provides an ideal platform for stakeholders to collaborate towards 

creating a sustainable, more resilient offshore sector.” 

Situated on the waterfront at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), ADIPEC’s Offshore, 

Marine and Heavy Equipment Zone is only 150 metres away from the main floor, with a jetty that 

extends 500 metres long. Sprawled across 4,500 square metres of space, the dedicated zone will 

feature a display of everything from rigs, vessels, and subsea drilling equipment, to pipelines, and 

tools for reservoir production and mapping. 

The waterfront area will also feature offshore vessels that can be toured by visitors, providing real 

insight into not only how equipment fares in situ, but also offering a more practical understanding of 

the issues faced by marine craft and offshore equipment operators. 

Christopher Hudson, President – Global Energy at dmg events, organisers of ADIPEC, said: “With 

about one-third of the world’s oil supplies coming from offshore wells, technology and innovation will 

continue to play a pivotal role in driving efficiency and best practice in the offshore sector.” 

“The mooring and quayside exhibition space at ADIPEC allows visitors to witness a host of incredible 

offshore equipment, tools, and technologies in their native setting. It also enables exhibitors to 

present their products in an engaging environment to a relevant audience, adding a new dimension to 

the way both participants and attendees experience the event,” Hudson added. 

Taking place at a purpose-built waterside theatre, this year's Offshore and Marine Conference will be 

led by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The forum will feature a series of CEO Sessions, 

Plenary Sessions, as well as Technical Sessions, bringing a host of world-leading experts to discuss 

critical industry issues. Topics include geology, reservoirs and exploration, drilling and completion 

challenges, as well as emerging and advanced technologies, offshore vessels and platforms, 

materials performance, and floating production systems.

today’s economic environment, experts said ahead of the Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec 2016). 






exploration activities across the globe. Recent discoveries of oil and gas reserves in remote areas, along 

with increasing technological advancements in terms of equipment, have made drilling operations more 

feasible and costeffective, according to the research. 


This includes a $25 billion investment in offshore oil projects planned by the Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company (Adnoc) through to 2020, part of the UAE’s strategy to boost its total oil output capacity to 

3.5 million barrels per day (bpd) by 201718. It is estimated offshore reserves will account for 


investment. 

The Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (AdmaOpco), a subsidiary of Adnoc, is currently operating 

two major fields – Umm Shaif and Lower Zakum, one of the world’s largest oilfields. The company is 

also developing three new fields: Nasr, Umm Lulu, and Satah Al Razboot, with a targeted production 

capacity of 750,000 bpd from the five fields. 

In line with ongoing global and regional investments in offshore production, Adipec 2016 will be hosting 

the second edition of its highly anticipated Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Exhibition and 

Conference. The purposebuilt quayside exhibition and conference theatre makes Adipec 2016 host to 

one of the world’s most exclusive waterfront offshore and marine showcases. 




Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, CEO of Al Yasat Petroleum Operations Company and Adipec 2016 chairman, said: 

“Significant developments in technology have allowed us to safely and efficiently tap into deepwater 

reserves which were previously considered inaccessible. However, today’s market presents new 

challenges, and we must continue to enhance efficiencies without compromising on health, safety, or 

the environment. By combining global expertise with a unique showcase of offshore products and 

services, Adipec provides an ideal platform for stakeholders to collaborate towards creating a 

sustainable, more resilient offshore sector.” 

Situated on the waterfront at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec), the Offshore, Marine 

and Heavy Equipment Zone is only 150 metres away from the main floor, with a jetty that extends 

500m long. Sprawled across 4,500 sq m of space, the dedicated zone will feature a display of 

everything from rigs, vessels, and subsea drilling equipment, to pipelines, and tools for reservoir 

production and mapping.

according to the research. 

In the region, offshore projects are still on track as countries work towards meeting capacity targets. This includes a 

USD 25 billion (AED 92 billion) investment in offshore oil projects planned by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company 

(ADNOC) through to 2020, part of the UAE's strategy to boost its total oil output capacity to 3.5 million barrels per

anticipated that this year’s edition of Adipec will be the largest event to date. 

The Adipec 2016 technical committee, which comprises 140 industry leading experts, convened on May 22, where 717 quality abstracts were 

selected following a thorough and rigorous selection process across ten technical categories, representing an acceptance rate of nearly 26 per 

cent. 

'Sharing industry best practice, knowledge, research, and innovation has never been more important and critical to the industry than it is today,' said 

Fareed Abdulla, senior vice president – North East Bab (NEB) Asset at the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Petroleum Operations Ltd (Adco), 

Adipec 2016 Technical Conference chairman, and SPE Middle East Board chairman. 

'The energy sector is currently witnessing a transformation marked by a special focus on efficiency, and stakeholders recognise they need to adapt 

both their business strategies and on-the-ground implementation to survive. Every year, we not only see an increase in the number of submissions, 

but also in the quality of papers we receive – making the Adipec Conference Programme truly the go-to event for the latest developments in the 

world of oil and gas.' 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, Adipec 2016 will take place from November 7 

to 10, and is hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), organised by dmg events – Global Energy, and supported by the UAE Ministry

ADIPEC to bring experts under one roof 

June 14, 2016 

Abu Dhabi: Global industry leaders, experts, and decision makers 

are gearing up for what is anticipated to be the largest Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) yet as 

organisers reveal another milestone for the world’s most influential 

oil and gas event. 

The distinguished ADIPEC Technical Conference Programme 

received a total of 2,775 proposals for this year’s edition of the 

event, marking a 22 per cent increase from last year, and once 

again breaking all known records for the number of submitted 

abstracts in the oil and gas industry. 

Technical papers came from 571 organisations across 71 countries, with more than half of submissions from outside the 

Middle East, underlining ADIPEC’s expanding international reach and its worldwide recognition as the global meeting place for 

knowledge-exchange in the energy sector. It is anticipated that this year’s edition of ADIPEC will be the largest event to date. 

The ADIPEC 2016 technical committee, which is comprised of 140 industry leading experts, convened on May 22, where 717 

quality abstracts were selected following a thorough and rigorous selection process across ten technical categories, 

representing an acceptance rate of nearly 26 per cent. 

“Sharing industry best practice, knowledge, research, and innovation has never been more important and critical to the 

industry than it is today,” said Fareed Abdulla, Senior Vice President – North East Bab (NEB) Asset at the Abu Dhabi Company 

for Onshore Petroleum Operations Ltd. (ADCO), ADIPEC 2016 Technical Conference Chairman, and SPE Middle East Board 

Chairman. 

“The energy sector is currently witnessing a transformation marked by a special focus on efficiency, and stakeholders 

recognise they need to adapt both their business strategies and on-the-ground implementation to survive. Every year, we not 

only see an increase in the number of submissions, but also in the quality of papers we receive – making the ADIPEC 

Conference Programme truly the go-to event for the latest developments in the world of oil and gas.” 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, ADIPEC 2016 will take 

place from November 7 to 10, and is hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), organised by dmg events – 

Global Energy, and supported by the UAE Ministry of Energy. 

The ADIPEC Technical Conference Programme, organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), is now one of the 

largest events focusing on the energy sector, attracting technical engineers from the world’s leading national and international 

oil companies and service companies, and key decision makers from across the industry. 

Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, CEO of Al Yasat Petroleum Operations Company and ADIPEC 2016 Chairman, said: “Energy plays a 

central role in the development of the economy, and with global demand set to increase by one-third over the next two 

decades, there is a pressing need to create long-term strategies that promote safe and reliable access to energy.

between the ages of 14 and 17 about the wealth and diversity of career opportunities in the 

energy sector, encouraging them to pursue studies in the fields of science and engineering, 

and spreading awareness about these specialties. 

Through the support of ADEC, which involves raising awareness about the initiative through 

the Council’s official communication channels, Young ADIPEC plans to recruit and engage 

more students than ever before, with the expected participation of 450 pupils from 18 

schools – 4 private and 14 public – across Abu Dhabi. This marks a remarkable 26 per cent 

increase over the number of students who participated in the program last year. More than 

700 students from across the UAE have passed through the program since its inception in 

2013. 

Salem Al Dhaheri, ADEC’s School Operations Executive Director, lauded efforts exerted by 

Young ADIPEC, adding that students will gain a wealth of knowledge in fields related to 

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), as well as experience research 

and teamwork spirit. 

“Encouraging youth to innovate and create is crucial for industry development, which is 

exactly why this initiative is timely,” said Al Dhaheri. “Our aim is to engage students in as 

many activities as possible that will motivate them to learn and explore, all in favor of 

preparing a curious, well-read and equipped workforce that will help further fructify the 

economy.” 

Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, CEO of Al Yasat Petroleum Operations Company and ADIPEC 2016 

Chairman, said: “As the global energy mix evolves, so does the skillset required for those 

who work in the industry. Technology, research, innovation, and application are playing a 

central role in driving industry progress, and prospective candidates must be equipped with 

the ability to be agile in such a dynamic business environment in order to succeed. I am 

confident that with the community’s firm support – that is the support of parents, 

educators, and employers – we can help inspire our children today to become the energy 

leaders of tomorrow.” — SG

UAE Officials and World Experts Share Views on Oil and Gas Industry Developments at Exclusive ‘Al Multaqa’ Gathering in Abu Dhabi. 

Making strategic longterm investments, and pooling knowledge and resources from within the oil and gas industry is central to energy sector 

progress, said senior officials and world representatives at a recent gathering in Abu Dhabi for members of the prestigious Middle East Petroleum 

Club (MEPC). 

Guests at the MEPC ‘Al Multaqa’ event were given an exclusive preview of the key issues that will be addressed at this year’s Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), the world’s most influential event for the oil and gas industry. 

Through its participation at Al Multaqa, the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), exclusive sponsor of the MEPC, provided insight on IPIC’s 30year track 

record as a longterm global investor, and shed light on key achievements of the IPIC Group portfolio companies. 

Commenting on IPIC’s participation at ADIPEC, His Excellency Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Managing Director of IPIC and UAE Minister of Energy, said: “Over 

three decades, IPIC has invested in major energy and petrochemical assets across the world. Through its strategic local and international partnerships with leading entities 

such as ADNOC, IPIC has successfully positioned Abu Dhabi as the world’s fifth largest producer in petrochemicals. As a key investor across the energy value chain, IPIC is a 

proud sponsor of ADIPEC, the world’s leading energy conference, and considers this opportunity as an excellent platform to interact with other global energy players to 

discuss the future of the industry. Through its unique investments in research and development, IPIC Group has distinguished itself among global industry players via its 

innovation centres which aim to develop cuttingedge technologies and industrial products around the world.” 

“Such success and longstanding economic vision is reinforced by the wise leadership of Abu Dhabi’s rulers and the direction of IPIC’s Chairman, His Highness Sheikh 

Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, to ensure that IPIC Group maintains a balance between persevering as a global 

industrial player, whilst continuing to achieving strong returns on investments.” 

Commenting on the decision of Abu Dhabi Government to merge IPIC and Mubadala, His Excellency Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Managing Director of IPIC and 

UAE Minister of Energy, said: “The merger between IPIC and Mubadala is a further step in the company’s development, and will create a global investment champion that 

acts as an engine for sustainable economic development. The combined entity will give Abu Dhabi a competitive advantage on an international stage, and at the same time, 

provide the company with investment opportunities that contribute to a diversified UAE economy.” 

Today’s challenging economic landscape often makes basing business decisions on market sentiment, rather than on fact, the safer choice – potentially missing the significant 

opportunities presented by those challenges, and their ability to create a more resilient industry, according to experts. 

“What should be our next move? Should we look for strategic longterm investments, or should we keep a low profile until oil prices have fully recovered? Those are the 

types of questions that both investors and oil companies are seeking the right answers to,” said Ruba Husari, Managing Director of consulting firm Iraq Insight. 

“However, the current state of markets and the downslide volatility of oil prices feeds into a climate of rumour and speculation. Major forums like ADIPEC enable members 

of the energy community to exchange views, debate solutions, and share perspective on the future of the industry. This helps in the decisionmaking process and creates a 

counter weight to market sentiment”. 

Al Multaqa, which means ‘The Gathering’ in Arabic, also invites representatives from both existing and prospective ADIPEC participating countries to gain insight about the 

knowledgeexchange and business opportunities available at what is now considered a flagship event for the global energy sector. This year, ADIPEC will feature 25 

international pavilions, including companies from major oil producing countries, such as the US, Saudi Arabia, China, and Brazil, as well as emerging markets, such as 

Indonesia, Malaysia, and Spain. 

“Every industry has its ups and downs, and the key to surviving these cycles is staying ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest developments and best practice,” said 

José Eugenio Salarich, the Ambassador of Spain to the UAE. “ADIPEC allows all members of the energy community to keep in touch with decision makers, stay abreast of 

changes in policy, as well as witness the latest in innovation and technology.” 

The industry’s ability to pool resources and tap into “pockets of excellence” will ultimately determine how organizations fare in this energy evolution, say experts. 

“Every industry has pockets of excellence that others can benefit from, but companies often operate in silos making sharing of information a challenge. ADIPEC provides a 

centralized global platform and an opportunity to share information and learn from each other,” said Siebe Butter, Consulting Director at Deloitte. “Especially in challenging 

times like these, where companies are seeking solutions to sustainably lower costs and improve efficiencies, the platform ADIPEC provides is of great value.” 

Hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and organised by dmg events – Global Energy, ADIPEC 2016 will take place from 710 November at the Abu 

Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) and is expected to host more than 90,000 attendees, 8,500 delegates, and 2,300 exhibitors from more than 120 countries. 

The Middle East Petroleum Club provides a platform for toplevel industry professionals to strengthen existing connections and forge new ones in a discreet and private 

environment at ADIPEC, and a range of events throughout the year. For further information on the MEPC, please visit www.adipec.com/mepc

Strategic investments and 

synergies critical to global 

energy sector progress 


Abu Dhabi, UAE -- Making strategic long-term investments, and pooling resources from within the 

oil and gas industry is central to energy sector progress, said senior officials at a recent gathering 

of the Middle East Petroleum Club (MEPC) in Abu Dhabi. 

Guests at the MEPC “Al Multaqa” event were given an exclusive preview of key issues that will be 

addressed at this year’s Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC). 

Through its participation at Al Multaqa, the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), 

provided insight on IPIC’s 30-year track record as a long-term global investor. 

Commenting on IPIC’s participation at ADIPEC, H.E. Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, IPIC managing 

director and UAE minister of energy, said “Over three decades, IPIC has invested in major energy 

and petrochemical assets across the world. Through its strategic local and international 

partnerships IPIC has successfully positioned Abu Dhabi as the world’s fifth largest producer in 

petrochemicals. 

IPIC is a sponsor of ADIPEC, and considers the conference a good opportunity to interact with 

other global energy players to discuss the future of the industry. Through its investments in R&D, 

the IPIC Group has positioned itself among global industry players through its innovation centres 

which aim to develop new technologies and industrial products.” 

“Such success is reinforced by the leadership of Abu Dhabi’s rulers, under the direction of IPIC’s 

Chairman, H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to ensure that the group maintains a 

balance between persevering as a global industrial player, while continuing to achieving strong 

returns on investments.” 

Additionally, the Abu Dhabi government elected to merge IPIC and Mubadala, according to IPIC 

Managing Director and UAE Minister of Energy, H.E. Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei. “The merger 

between IPIC and Mubadala is a further step in the company’s development, and will create a

global investment champion that acts as an engine for sustainable economic development. The 

combined entity will give Abu Dhabi a competitive advantage, and at the same time, provide the 

company with investment opportunities that contribute to a diversified UAE economy.” 


sentiment, rather than on fact, the safer choice – potentially missing the significant opportunities 

presented by those challenges, and their ability to create a more resilient industry. 

“What should be our next move? Should we look for strategic long-term investments, or should we 

keep a low profile until oil prices have fully recovered? Those are the types of questions that both 

investors and oil companies are seeking to answer” said Ruba Husari, managing director of 

consulting firm Iraq Insight. 

“However, the current state of markets and the downslide volatility of oil prices feeds into a 

climate of rumour and speculation. Major forums like ADIPEC enable members of the energy 

community to exchange views, debate solutions, and share perspective on the future of the 

industry. This helps in the decision-making process and creates a counter weight to market 

sentiment”. 

Al Multaqa, which means “the gathering” in Arabic, also invites representatives from both existing 

and prospective ADIPEC participating countries to gain insight about the knowledge-exchange and 

business opportunities available at ADIPEC. The conference will feature 25 international pavilions, 

including companies from major oil producing countries, including the U.S., Saudi Arabia, China, 

and Brazil, as well as emerging markets, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Spain. 

“Every industry has its ups and downs, and the key to surviving these cycles is staying ahead of the 

curve when it comes to the latest developments and best practice,” said Ambassador of Spain to 

the UAE, José Eugenio Salarich. “ADIPEC allows all members of the energy community to keep in 

touch with decision makers, stay abreast of changes in policy, as well as witness the latest in 

innovation and technology ().” 

“Every industry has pockets-of-excellence that others can benefit from, but companies often 

operate in silos making sharing of information a challenge. ADIPEC provides a centralized global 

platform and an opportunity to share information and learn from each other,” said Siebe Butter, 

consulting director at Deloitte. “Especially in challenging times like these, where companies are 

seeking solutions to sustainably lower costs and improve efficiencies, the platform ADIPEC 

provides is of great value.”

Ipic, Mubadala merger to give Abu Dhabi competitive edge 

Energy minister says company has successfully positioned Abu Dhabi as the world’s fifth largest producer 

in petrochemicals

Staff Report 

Abu Dhabi: The merger between International Petroleum Investment Company (Ipic) and Mubadala will 

create a global investment champion that will act as an engine for sustainable economic development, 

Suhail Al Mazroui, UAE minister of energy and Ipic managing director, has said. 

“The combined entity will give Abu Dhabi a competitive advantage on an international stage, and at the 

same time, provide the company with investment opportunities that contribute to a diversified UAE 

economy,” Al Mazroui said. 

He said over three decades, Ipic has invested in major energy and petrochemical assets across the world 

through its strategic local and international partnerships with entities such as Adnoc. 

“The company has successfully positioned Abu Dhabi as the world’s fifth largest producer in 

petrochemicals,” he said. 

Al Mazroui made the remarks while commenting on Ipic’s participation at this year’s Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, to be held from November 7 to 10. 

Ipic, which has stakes in a number of companies across the globe, posted a net loss of $2.5 billion (Dh9.18 

billion) in 2015 due to low oil prices. 

The combined assets of the two companies are worth $130 billion, with operations in Europe, Asia and the 

US.

feeds into a climate of rumor and speculation. Major forums like ADIPEC enable 

members of the energy community to exchange views, debate solutions, and 

share perspective on the future of the industry. This helps in the decisionmaking 

process and creates a counter weight to market sentiment”. 

Al Multaqa, which means ‘The Gathering’ in Arabic, also invites representatives 

from both existing and prospective ADIPEC participating countries to gain 

insight about the knowledge-exchange and business opportunities available at 

what is now considered a flagship event for the global energy sector. This year, 

ADIPEC will feature 25 international pavilions, including companies from major 

oil producing countries, such as the US, Saudi Arabia, China, and Brazil, as well 

as emerging markets, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Spain. 

“Every industry has its ups and downs, and the key to surviving these cycles is 

staying ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest developments and best 

practice,” said José Eugenio Salarich, the Ambassador of Spain to the UAE. 

“ADIPEC allows all members of the energy community to keep in touch with 

decision makers, stay abreast of changes in policy, as well as witness the latest 

in innovation and technology.” 




The industry’s ability to pool resources and tap into “pockets of excellence” will 

ultimately determine how organizations fare in this energy evolution, say 

experts. 

“Every industry has pockets of excellence that others can benefit from, but 

companies often operate in silos making sharing of information a challenge. 

ADIPEC provides a centralized global platform and an opportunity to share 

information and learn from each other,” said Siebe Butter, Consulting Director 

at Deloitte. “Especially in challenging times like these, where companies are 

seeking solutions to sustainably lower costs and improve efficiencies, the 

platform ADIPEC provides is of great value.” 

Hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and organized by dmg 

events – Global Energy, ADIPEC 2016 will take place from 7-10 November at 

the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) and is expected to host more 

than 90,000 attendees, 8,500 delegates, and 2,300 exhibitors from more than 

120 countries. 

The Middle East Petroleum Club provides a platform for top-level industry 

professionals to strengthen existing connections and forge new ones in a 

discreet and private environment at ADIPEC, and a range of events throughout 

the year.

Oil industry resilience depends on innovation, 

says senior Kuwait Oil Company executive 

A senior manager at the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) says the GCC petroleum industry must focus 

on innovation and efficiency to maintain the value of the region’s natural resources. 

The recent market has been challenging for the industry, with global oversupply and a constrained 

economic outlook in several key markets impacting on prices. Ms Badria Ali Abdul Raheem, Deputy 

CEO (North Kuwait) at KOC, says she expects the GCC’s strategic response to future shifts in the 

market will be an important point of discussion when industry leaders meet for the Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) in November. 

“The petroleum industry in the GCC states carries a significant responsibility for national 

development, and we need to be as efficient as possible, as innovative as possible, and maximise 

the utility we derive from our natural resources,” said Ms Abdul Raheem, who is responsible for the 

conventional and heavy oil fields of the North Kuwait asset. “ADIPEC is an important forum for us to 

achieve this, both as a discussion of industry issues and best practice, and through displays of new 

methods and technology.” 

ADIPEC is the global meeting place for oil and gas professionals, the largest event for the industry 

in the Middle East, and one of the most influential oil and gas exhibitions and conferences in the 

world, with a track record of attracting key decision makers from the petroleum industry. 

The event is expected to attract more than 2300 exhibiting companies, 8500 delegates, 700 

speakers, and 100 000 trade professionals from 135 countries. Increasingly, ADIPEC considers 

petroleum’s role as part of a broader energy mix, with the theme ‘Strategies for the New Energy 

Landscape’ setting the agenda for a distinguished conference programme in 2016. 

Resilience has emerged as a critical issue for decision makers, and investors, in the petroleum 

industry. According to the OPEC World Energy Trends Report 2015, the oil industry has faced a 

challenging year, with a cooling economic outlook in non-OECD markets, particularly China, where 

rapid increases in demand appear to be maturing. However, forecasts show continued growth in the 

global economy, and oil is predicted to remain the most significant energy source. 

http://www.energyglobal.com/upstream/drilling-and-production/15082016/Oil-industry-resilience-depends-on-innovation-says-senior-Ku...



GCC suppliers can expect to benefit from this growth as the balance between supply and demand 

in the oil market stabilises, while the development of high-cost petroleum resources, such as shale 

oil, is likely to be more subdued as investors question their long-term viability. 

“The current market is challenging, but the forces driving the oil and energy markets are positive for 

Kuwait and other Gulf producers,” said Ms Abdul Raheem. “The emergence of tight oil, particularly 

shale oil, created an expectation that demand would be met at all times, but these very high-cost 

resources are only profitable with very high prices. 

“There is now a clear recognition that suppliers with a large resource base of easily accessible 

crude oil are the most reliable. Kuwait is one of those suppliers, with a long tradition as a reliable 

supplier in global markets, and with the plans in place to hold that role for a long-term timeframe,” 

Ms Abdul Raheem concluded.

Oil and gas industry struggles with exceptionally low female-to-male ratios 


Oil and gas industry struggles with exceptionally 

low female-to-male ratios 

Workplace diversity is becoming more important than ever as the energy sector undergoes a rapid 

transformation and as gender balance increasingly emerges as a definitive factor in organisational success, 

female leaders said ahead of the upcoming ADIPEC 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

By bq staff - Aug 28, 2016 

Speaking on Emirati Women’s Day, female achievers said that while great strides have been made 

in promoting gender diversity, the oil and gas industry is still struggling with exceptionally low 

female-to-male ratios when compared to other fields of work. 

“Things have dramatically improved for women in the UAE in the past few years. However, we still 

have a long way to go as there are many challenges that need to be addressed and these 

challenges are not just specific to this country or the region, but are global obstacles that the 

industry is facing every day,” said Fatema Al Neaimi, manager, gas strategy and master planning 

unit at ADNOC. 

She added: “They are also both physical and socio-psychological in nature, from creating supportive 

corporate infrastructures, to inspiring women to be a part of the industry’s future developments.” 

Lowest representation 

According to a recent Reuters report, the oil and gas industry has the lowest representation of 

female professionals among all employers. In addition, an analysis of US energy companies by 

global advisory firm Korn Ferry found that women make up just 6 percent of CEO positions in 

energy. 

http://www.bq-magazine.com/economy/socioeconomics/2016/08/oil-and-gas-industry-struggles-with-exceptionally-low-female-to-male-r...



From a global standpoint, professional networking site LinkedIn found that women make up just 

26.7 percent of all its oil and energy industry profiles. That is the lowest percentage among the 

industries examined – healthcare had the largest percentage, at about 59.8 percent and tech came 

in at the middle, at 30.6 percent. 

Career opportunities 

Today’s new energy landscape, characterised by an evolving global energy mix and a strong focus 

on operational efficiency, presents women with numerous career opportunities and pathways to 

choose from, say experts. 

Eileen Wilkinson, vice-president for exploration in MENA at Shell, said: “As a geologist, I am keen to 

play my part in addressing the tremendous challenges and opportunities that face our business and 

our industry – identifying the right mix of renewables and hydrocarbons which support local 

economies and societies.” 

http://www.bq-magazine.com/economy/socioeconomics/2016/08/oil-and-gas-industry-struggles-with-exceptionally-low-female-to-male-r...



She added: “The truth is, in order to meet these demands on our shared energy future, we do not 

just need all types of energy, we need diversity of thought. In my career I have seen diversity feed 

innovation across the Asia-Pacific, Europe and in the Middle East, and I believe it is the key to 

sustained longevity of great companies.” 

Al Neaimi said: “We need a grassroots effort, particularly when looking at the quality of education in 

the sciences. We need to get involved from the early stages of a student’s academic life. It is our 

responsibility as a community, from parents and schools, to universities and employers, to make 

the industry attractive to our children.”

Oil and gas industry in vital need of women

Workplace diversity is becoming more important than ever as the energy sector undergoes a rapid 

transformation, and as gender balance increasingly emerges as a definitive factor in organisational 

success, female leaders said ahead of the upcoming ADIPEC 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

Speaking on the occasion of Emirati Women’s Day (28 August), female achievers said that while 

great strides have been made in promoting gender diversity, the oil and gas industry is still struggling 

with exceptionally low female-to-male ratios when compared to other fields of work. 

“Things have dramatically improved for women in the UAE in the past few years, driven principally by 

the strong and unwavering support of the country’s leadership,” said Fatema Al Neaimi, Manager, 

Gas Strategy and Master Planning Unit at the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), and a 

speaker at the ADIPEC 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

“However, we still have a long way to go as there are many challenges that need to be addressed, 

and these challenges are not just specific to this country or the region, but are global obstacles that 

the industry is facing every day. They are also both physical and socio-psychological in nature – from 

creating supportive corporate infrastructures, to inspiring women to be a part of the industry’s future 

developments.” 

With an established track record of raising an engaging and inspiring debate on the issues 

surrounding the role of women in the energy sector, ‘Women in Energy’ (formerly ‘Women in Industry’) 

will take place on Day 3, Wednesday, 9 November at Al Maared Hall, and is part of the Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), one of the world’s leading energy 

events and a global meeting place for oil and gas professionals.

According to a recent Reuters report, the oil and gas industry has the lowest representation of female 

professionals among all employers. In addition, an analysis of US energy companies by global 

advisory firm Korn Ferry found that women make up just 6 per cent of CEO positions in energy.

Eileen Wilkinson, Vice President for Exploration in MENA at Shell, and a key participant in the

energy workforce.

that face our business and our industry – identifying the right mix of renewables and hydrocarbons 

which support local economies and societies. The truth is, in order to meet these demands on our 

shared energy future we don’t just need all types of energy, we need diversity of thought,” Ms 

Wilkinson said. 

“In my career I have seen diversity feed innovation across Asia-Pacific, Europe and in the Middle 

East, and I believe it is the key to sustained longevity of great companies. I want to inspire young 

women to come into the industry. Women have technical excellence, the ability to multitask and to 

think through complex problems,” Ms Wilkinson added. 

Nevertheless, encouraging women to follow a career path in energy, retaining them, and cultivating 

their career growth, should be a communitywide effort, says Ms Al Neaimi. 

“We need more of a grassroots effort, particularly when looking at the quality of education in the 

sciences,” she said. “We need to get involved from the early stages of a student’s academic life. It is 

our responsibility as a community, from parents and schools, to universities and employers, to make 

the industry more attractive to our children. Members of the younger generation need better visibility 

of the opportunities available to them, and a stronger understanding of the impact they will be making 

by joining the oil and gas industry.”

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s chief executive Sultan Al Jaber said that 

he plans to appoint a woman chief executive at one of the operating 

companies. 

"Adnoc will seek to appoint one female chief executive across its group of 

operating companies," Mr Al Jaber said on Sunday to mark Emirati Women’s 

Day.

Institute shows talent

The operating companies which have not yet had new chief executives 

appointed are Zadco, which runs a large part of the offshore oil and gas 

development; Takreer, the refining arm; and Adgas, the liquefied natural gas 

-producing unit. 

He also said the state oil and gas company would commit to filling 15 per 

cent of its senior management roles with women by 2020. He also 

earmarked one of Adnoc’s assets to be managed by women, saying Al 

Rumaitha oilfield was being considered for this purpose. 

Al Rumaitha is an onshore field that is part of the North East Bab complex in 

the Adco concession, which produces a little over half of Abu Dhabi’s 3 

million barrels per day of oil. 

The Adnoc commitments come amid sweeping changes in Abu Dhabi’s 

energy leadership this year, which included the appointment of Mr Al Jaber 

himself, as well as the shake-up of most of the emirate’s non-Adnoc energy 

portfolio with the proposed merger of Mubadala Development and Ipic. 

The Adnoc chief, who is also the Minister of State and sits on the Supreme 

Petroleum Council, brought in new faces in spring for almost all of the most 

senior jobs at the state oil company, including new heads of Adnoc’s 

directorates and most of its key operating companies, such as Adco and 

Adma-Opco, which account for the bulk of Abu Dhabi’s oil output. 

"Adnoc is proud to be making commitments to help realise the vision of 

Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation, aimed at ensuring

Emirati women play a greater role in the UAE’s economic prosperity," Mr Al 

Jaber said. 

The oil and gas industry has traditionally had relatively few women in any 

jobs worldwide, let alone the top jobs, although this has been changing in 

recent years. 

Korn Ferry, a consultancy, in a study this month of US companies found that 

women make up just 6 per cent of chief executive positions in energy, 

although that was above all other industry segments apart from consumer. 

"Things have dramatically improved for women in the UAE in the past few 

years," said Fatema Al Neaimi, a manager at Adnoc’s gas strategy and 

master planning unit. 

"However, we still have a long way to go as there are many challenges that 

need to be addressed, and these challenges are not just specific to this 

country or the region, but are global obstacles that the industry is facing 

every day." 

The UAE began to educate female petroleum engineers at Adnoc’s 

Petroleum Institute in the 2006-07 academic year, with the first graduates 

emerging in 2011. 

There have been about 300 women educated through the institute’s 

programmes so far, including women who have gone onto senior jobs such 

as Salma Al Hajeri, who is in charge of a subsurface offshore project for 

Mubadala Petroleum off the coast of Malaysia. 

Mr Al Jaber also said that Adnoc would commit to increasing the number of 

new Emirati women recruits to at least 30 per cent of the total by 2020. 

Adnoc said that it was already well ahead of peers in the region, where 3 per 

cent of employees in the sector are female. That is 10 per cent at Adnoc, of 

which more than 70 per cent are Emirati. 

"Gender equality and women’s empowerment [is] not only the right thing to 

do, but also it makes business sense," Mr Al Jaber said, noting studies that 

show companies with more pathways for women to advance perform better 

financially. 

Adnoc announced several other bureaucratic initiatives to mark Women’s 

Day. 

The company is to create a "gender policy framework" and set up its first 

women’s network and a leadership development programme specifically for 

women. 

The programmes for women are part of the changes in management 

approach announced in spring, when the current leadership was changed. A 

new corporate regime was put in place then that identified top managers as 

"active asset managers", with a system to hold them to account for meeting 

specific operational and financial targets on tight schedules. 

The elevation of women, with specific targets and development 

programmes, is part of this more meritocratic regime, Mr Al Jaber said.

‘Women in Energy’ conference to shed light on career prospects 

By our business bureau August 30, 2016 

ABU DHABI: Workplace diversity is becoming more important than ever as the energy sector undergoes a rapid transformation, and as gender balance 

increasingly emerges as a definitive factor in organisational success, female leaders said ahead of the upcoming Adipec 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

Speaking on the occasion of Emirati Women’s Day (28 August), female achievers said that while great strides have been made in promoting gender diversity, the 

oil and gas industry is still struggling with exceptionally low female-to-male ratios when compared to other fields of work. 

“Things have dramatically improved for women in the UAE in the past few years, driven principally by the strong and unwavering support of the country’s 

leadership,” said Fatema Al Neaimi, Manager, Gas Strategy and Master Planning Unit at the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), and a speaker at the 

Adipec 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

“However, we still have a long way to go as there are many challenges that need to be addressed, and these challenges are not just specific to this country or 

the region, but are global obstacles that the industry is facing every day. They are also both physical and socio-psychological in nature – from creating supportive 

corporate infrastructures, to inspiring women to be a part of the industry’s future developments.” 

With an established track record of raising an engaging and inspiring debate on the issues surrounding the role of women in the energy sector, ‘Women in 

Energy’ (formerly ‘Women in Industry’) will take place on Day 3, Wednesday, November 9 at Al Maared Hall, and is part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), one of the world’s leading energy events and a global meeting place for oil and gas professionals. 

According to a recent Reuters report, the oil and gas industry has the lowest representation of female professionals among all employers. In addition, an analysis 

of US energy companies by global advisory firm Korn Ferry found that women make up just 6 per cent of CEO positions in energy. 

From a global standpoint, professional networking site LinkedIn found that women make up just 26.7 per cent of all its oil and energy industry profiles. That is 

the lowest percentage among the industries examined - healthcare had the largest percentage, at about 59.8 per cent, and tech came in at the middle, at 30.6 

per cent. 

Today’s new energy landscape, characterised by an evolving global energy mix and a strong focus on operational efficiency, presents women with numerous 

career opportunities and pathways to choose from, say experts. 

Eileen Wilkinson, Vice President for Exploration in Mena at Shell, and a key participant in the Adipec 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference, highlighted the 

important value that women bring to the energy workforce. 

“As a geologist I’m keen to play my part in addressing the tremendous challenges and opportunities that face our business and our industry – identifying the right 

mix of renewables and hydrocarbons which support local economies and societies. The truth is, in order to meet these demands on our shared energy future we 

don’t just need all types of energy, we need diversity of thought,” Ms Wilkinson said. 

“In my career I have seen diversity feed innovation across Asia-Pacific, Europe and in the Middle East, and I believe it is the key to sustained longevity of great 

companies. I want to inspire young women to come into the industry. Women have technical excellence, the ability to multitask and to think through complex 

problems,” Ms Wilkinson added. 

Nevertheless, encouraging women to follow a career path in energy, retaining them, and cultivating their career growth, should be a communitywide effort, says 

Ms Al Neaimi.

Petroleum Industry must embrace the 

New Energy Landscape, say Global 

Energy Leaders 

Posted on September 4, 2016 by ENERGY EGYPTLeave a comment 

• Oil & Gas Giants Call for Industry Collaboration ahead of Flagship Abu Dhabi Energy Event. 

• Fossil Fuels to Account for 80% of Total Energy Supplies in 2035: Industry Report. 

Oil and gas giants are calling for greater industry collaboration and an increased focus on operational 

efficiency, as global energy leaders prepare to gather in the UAE capital for the upcoming Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2016) in November. 

The future of the industry depends on its ability to embrace the new energy landscape and drive efficiency, say 

experts. Speaking ahead of his participation in the ADIPEC Global Business Leaders’ panel, where 

international CEOs will be gathering to address the challenges and opportunities facing the petroleum 

sector, Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné said industry stakeholders must work in unison towards the common goal of 

achieving a sustainable energy future. 

“The global energy landscape is witnessing a rapid change, influenced by economic challenges and efforts to 

reduce carbon emissions, which can be addressed by the emerging role of natural gas and renewables. All of 

this makes it crucial that industry players operate not only more efficiently, but also more closely, in a spirit of 

cooperation,” Pouyanné said. 

“Technology, innovation, research – they all play an instrumental role not only in managing this transitional 

period, but also in leveraging the many opportunities that it presents. This is what makes ADIPEC an 

invaluable event for the oil and gas community, because it offers a global platform for stakeholders to 

collaborate and collectively address not only the imminent challenges in the energy sector, but the longer term 

picture that is starting to take shape. As CEO of Total, which aims to become the responsible energy major, 

ADIPEC is an event I would not want to miss,” Pouyanné added. 

Confirmed senior-level speakers at ADIPEC include Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Group CEO of ADNOC, who will be 

presenting the Opening Ceremony keynote; Rex W. Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil, Patrick 

Pouyanné, CEO of Total;Bob Dudley, CEO of BP; Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman, Management 

Committee, Gazprom; Vicki A. Hollub, President and CEO of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Jeff Miller, 

President of Halliburton; and Paal Kibsgaard, Chairman and CEO of Schlumberger (complete list of Opening 

Ceremony and Global Business Leaders speakers below). 

Moderating the Global Business Leaders sessions will be celebrated journalistJohn Simpson, BBC World Affairs 

editor, broadcaster, author and columnist, as well as oil guru Dr Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of the industry 

consulting group IHS. 

According to BP’s latest Energy Outlook report, fossil fuels will remain the dominant form of energy powering 

global expansion for the next two decades, suppling around 60% of the growth in energy demand, and 

accounting for almost 80% of total energy supplies in 2035. The same report indicates that the fuel mix will 

witness a significant change, with gas emerging as a major energy resource.

Developing resilient strategies has become a top priority for industry leaders, who are increasingly looking at 

redefining their business approach in an effort to continue meeting the growth in demand while adapting to the 

evolving supply mix. 

Jeff Miller, President of Halliburton, said: “Hydrocarbons are, by far, the most affordable and abundant resource 

available for advancing the progress of human life and play an integral part in meeting the world’s growing 

demand for energy. Our industry is fuelled by continued investment in technology and innovation as we make 

better tools to increase barrels produced and decrease cost. At Halliburton, we collaborate and engineer 

solutions that maximise asset value for our customers. For us, collaboration is a way of life.” 

“We listen to our customers, understand their drivers, and respond to their needs to deliver solutions that 

sustainably lower the cost per BOE. We look forward to discussing the many opportunities ahead for our 

industry at the ADIPEC 2016 Global Business Leader sessions and learning from other industry participants,” 

Miller added. 

Billed as the premier knowledge-sharing platform for movers and shakers in the oil and gas industry, ADIPEC’s 

distinguished Conference Programme will bring together Ministers, CEOs, decision makers, world renowned 

luminaries, and experts to address challenges and opportunities across both technical and non-technical 

aspects of the industry. 

The programme will feature a high-level Opening Ceremony and three Global Business Leaders panel 

sessions, offering a world outlook for the oil industry, shedding light on the developing role of gas and LNG, 

and providing insights on implementing effective leadership strategies. 

Vicki Hollub, President and CEO of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation, said: “ADIPEC is one of the premier oil 

and gas conferences, bringing energy leaders together from around the world. I am honoured to be 

participating at this year’s event and look forward to sharing ideas on how to address the most important 

challenges before our industry.” 

ADIPEC’s anticipated Conference Program also features 2 Ministerial Sessions, 8 Executive Panel Sessions, 

8 Offshore & Marine Sessions, 8 Women in Energy Sessions, and 106 Technical Sessions. 

Established as the world’s most influential exhibition and conference for the oil and gas industry, ADIPEC has 

a longstanding track record of bringing together globally celebrated luminaries and experts to discuss

account of 80 per cent of total energy supplies by 2035.

industry stakeholders must work in unison towards the 


“The global energy landscape is witnessing a rapid change, influenced by economic challenges and efforts to reduce 

carbon emissions, which can be addressed by the emerging role of natural gas and renewables. All of this makes it 

crucial that industry players operate not only more efficiently, but also more closely, in a spirit of cooperation,” 

Pouyanné added. 

“Technology, innovation, research – they all play an instrumental role not only in managing this transitional period, but 

also in leveraging the many opportunities that it presents. This is what makes ADIPEC an invaluable event for the oil 

and gas community, because it offers a global platform for stakeholders to collaborate and collectively address not 

only the imminent challenges in the energy sector, but the longer term picture that is starting to take shape. As CEO of 

Total, which aims to become the responsible energy major, ADIPEC is an event I would not want to miss,” Pouyanné 

added. 

According to BP’s latest Energy Outlook report, fossil fuels will remain the dominant form of energy powering global 

expansion for the next two decades, supplying around 60 per cent of the growth in energy demand, and accounting for 

almost 80 per cent of total energy supplies in 2035. The same report indicates that the fuel mix will witness a 

significant change, with gas emerging as a major energy resource. 




Jeff Miller, president of Halliburton, said, “Hydrocarbons are, by far, the most affordable and abundant resource 

available for advancing the progress of human life and play an integral part in meeting the world’s growing demand for 

energy. Our industry is fuelled by continued investment in technology and innovation as we make better tools to 

increase barrels produced and decrease cost. At Halliburton, we collaborate and engineer solutions that maximise 

asset value for our customers.For us, collaboration is a way of life.” 

“We listen to our customers, understand their drivers, and respond to their needs to deliver solutions that lower the 

cost per boe. We look forward to discussing the many opportunities ahead for our industry at the ADIPEC 2016 Global 

Business Leader sessions and learning from other industry participants,” Miller added.

Developing resilient strategies has become a top priority for industry leaders, who are increasingly looking at redefining their 

business approach in an effort to continue meeting the growth in demand while adapting to the evolving supply mix.

ABU DHABI, 7th September, 2016 (WAM) – Oil and gas giants are calling for greater 

industry collaboration and an increased focus on operational efficiency, as global energy 

leaders prepare to gather in the UAE capital for the upcoming Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2016) in November. 

Established as the world’s most influential exhibition and conference for the oil and gas 

industry, ADIPEC has a longstanding track record of bringing together globally 

celebrated luminaries and experts to discuss challenges and opportunities in the energy 

sector. The annual four-day event will take place from 7th to 10th November, 2016, at 

ADNEC. 

The future of the industry depends on its ability to embrace the new energy landscape 

and drive efficiency, say experts. 

Speaking ahead of his participation in the ADIPEC Global Business Leaders’ panel, 

where international CEOs will be addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the 

petroleum sector, Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of Total, said that industry 

stakeholders must work in unison towards a common goal of achieving a sustainable 


"The global energy landscape is witnessing rapid change, influenced by economic 

challenges and efforts to reduce carbon emissions, which can be addressed by the 

emerging role of natural gas and renewables. All of this makes it crucial that industry 

players operate not only more efficiently, but also more closely, in a spirit of cooperation," 

Pouyanne said. 

"Technology, innovation, research – they all play an instrumental role not only in 

managing this transitional period, but also in leveraging the many opportunities that it 

presents. This is what makes ADIPEC an invaluable event for the oil and gas community, 

because it offers a global platform for stakeholders to collaborate and collectively

address not only the imminent challenges in the energy sector, but the longer term 

picture that is starting to take shape. As CEO of Total, which aims to become the 

responsible energy major, ADIPEC is an event I would not want to miss," Pouyanne 

added. 

Confirmed senior-level speakers at ADIPEC include Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE 

Minister of State and CEO of the ADNOC Group of Companies, who will be presenting 

the Opening Ceremony keynote, and a group of industry leaders. 

According to BP’s latest Energy Outlook report, fossil fuels will remain the dominant form 

of energy powering global expansion for the next two decades, supplying around 60 

percent of the growth in energy demand, and accounting for almost 80 percent of total 

energy supplies in 2035. The same report indicates that the fuel mix will witness a 

significant change, with gas emerging as a major energy resource. 

Developing resilient strategies has become a top priority for industry leaders, who are 

increasingly looking at redefining their business approach in an effort to continue meeting 

the growth in demand while adapting to the evolving supply mix. 

Jeff Miller, President of Halliburton, said, "Hydrocarbons are, by far, the most affordable 

and abundant resource available for advancing the progress of human life and playing an 

integral part in meeting the world’s growing demand for energy. Our industry is fuelled by 

continued investment in technology and innovation as we make better tools to increase 

barrels produced and decrease cost." 

Vicki Hollub, President and CEO of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation, said, 

"ADIPEC is one of the premier oil and gas conferences, bringing energy leaders together 

from around the world. I am honoured to be participating at this year’s event, and look 

forward to sharing ideas on how to address the most important challenges before our 

industry."

Topics:Oil, Shipping 

One-page article 

The hijacking of the Sirius Star in late 2008 by Somalian pirates marked a 

turning point in thinking about how to deal with global energy security 

threats. 

The 1,000-foot supertanker, chartered from Dubai-based Vela International 

by Saudi Aramco, and its US$100 million cargo of Saudi Arabian crude oil, 

was en route to the US when it was captured by a rag-tag bunch of 

Somalian bandits in motorboats with AK47s, some 450 nautical miles 

southeast of Mombasa, Kenya. 

The Sirius Star hijacking marked a "fundamental shift in the ability of pirates 

to be able to attack merchant vessels", Nathan Christensen, the US Navy 

5th Fleet spokesman, said at the time. 

Despite the presence of naval vessels from a number of Nato countries in 

the area, there was little that could be done and the pirates released the 

tanker a few months after being paid a $3m ransom. 

The Nato secretary-general at the time, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, laid out a 

number of measures, including the development of a global vessel 

monitoring system and new-design ships. 

Soon after the Sirius Star, the European Union launched its first ever naval 

mission, Operation Atalanta, involving dozens of warships to try to provide 

security off the Horn of Africa, as part of a broader Nato effort. 

The hijackings continued for several years but eventually declined from a 

peak of 47 encounters in 2010 to zero reported by the EU force over the 

past three years. 

Such a huge effort to deal with perhaps no more than a few hundred lightlyarmed 

men in skiffs. 

But the threats to energy security have only grown and become more 

complex over the last few years, says General Sir Richard Shirreff, who was 

the top European Nato general until 2014. 

As piracy died down in east Africa it rose in west Africa, where there have 

been a number of hijackings in the Gulf of Guinea this year, as well as 

hugely disruptive sabotage by militants in Nigeria. 

Piracy is also a growing threat in Asia, with numerous attacks off Malaysia 

and Indonesia. 

In the Arabian Gulf, there are rising risks because of the civil wars in Syria, 

Iraq and Yemen, the internal fragility of Saudi Arabia and the re-emergence 

of Iran after nuclear-related sanctions were lifted.

Nato general urges private-sector role for energy security | The National 


"It requires massive international effort and ambition to take it on and there 

is a role for the private sector here," says Gen Shirreff, who is due to speak 

on energy security at this year’s Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference in early November. 

Though Mr Scheffer had called for a dialogue between Nato and oil 

companies back in 2008, progress has been slow, in part because of the 

strict laws governing and limiting Nato. 

"Yes, organisations like Nato have common funding and can act in 

multinational interest, but there are strict rules and overseas those costs will 

fall to the individual nations, so I think there is a role for the private sector," 

Gen Shirreff says. "If you are an oil company operating in a difficult 

environment, your profits are going to be at jeopardy because of that 

fragility. We’re trying to get companies to think about it but taking such a 

strategic view is not straightforward. I don’t think we’re there yet." 

Gen Shirreff is quick to add that the thinking has to extend well beyond 

physical security. 

"The whole thing about security is that it is not just about guns, gates and 

guards. Security is a moral concept. It is about the people with whom you 

are living and operating. The UAE is a secure environment but that comes 

from within. You have to address the root causes of conflict," he says. 

This means thinking about the broader issues of economic prosperity and 

equality, bribery, the environment. 

"Also, it is about recognising the difficulty of radicalisation increasingly facing 

westerners in some of the more volatile parts of the Middle East," he says. 

"Doing business through partners is one way you can manage those risks." 

The complexity of the Somalia situation is illustrative. 

Conor Seyle and Jens Madsen of Dubai-based non-profit Oceans Beyond 

Piracy, which promotes private-sector efforts to combat international piracy, 

identify "three pillars" that developed into a complex network to deal with the 

Somali crisis: the Nato/EU naval effort, made possible by UN resolution and 

other legal measures; changes in management practice by shipping 

companies and their charterers; and multifarious efforts to address root 

causes of the piracy. 

The private sector can be better placed to deal with the latter "soft" or 

"human" issues. 

"Resolving these challenges requires different skills and capacities than 

hard security issues, as they frequently involve issues of development, 

education, provision of public goods and services, ethnic tensions and other 

tenets previously seen as being outside the purview of security," Mr Seyle 

and Mr Madsen write in a new report. 

"This has been a challenge to some security institutions hesitant to expand 

their hard security missions, but non-state actors are increasingly being 

identified as a way of extending system capacities to incorporate these 

skills." 

Private sector companies should also avoid the perception of backing sides 

in internal conflicts, as has been the case in the past with Chevron and 

Royal Dutch Shell in Nigeria, where paying local security forces in the delta 

region has associated them with the sometimes brutal treatment of local 

protesters. 

"On the Nigeria point, you’ve got to avoid being seen as partial or funding hit 

squads but there are ways around that, such as using the [European Bank 

for Reconstruction and Development] or the World Bank and other such 

organisations in order to make sure there is a sufficient standoff," says Gen 

Shirreff. 

It is a difficult balancing act but one that cannot be avoided.

Oil industry 'must take a streamlined approach to security' 

0918 18:30 Trade Arabia / View source 

Organisations in the oil and gas industry must adapt to an increasingly interconnected energy 

landscape by taking a streamlined and coordinated approach to security, according to international 

experts. 

The promise of emerging technology brings with it a growing concern of data and 

infrastructure protection within the industry, which has proven to be a persistent challenge that 

needs to be immediately addressed in the region and across the world, they stated. 

The Middle East’s burgeoning security market is forecast to be worth $34 billion by 2020, with more 

than 50 per cent being spent on government, energy, and critical infrastructure alone, according to a 

recent Frost & Sullivan report. 

Meanwhile, figures from MarketsandMarkets show that the overall critical infrastructure protection 

market in the Middle East will be worth $13.07 billion over the next two years. 

In support of regional and global efforts to protect the industry from threats posed by compromised 

information technology and today’s rapidly changing global environment, the Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC 2016) will be launching its debut edition of ‘Security in 

Energy’. 

The annual fourday event will take place from November 7 to 10 at the Abu Dhabi National 

Exhibition Centre. 

http://newsdog.today/a/article/57e00c7e76f3df03a4c9be07/ 1/3


The programme, which is supported by the UAE TelecommunicationsRegulatory Authority (TRA) 

and the Critical Infrastructure and Coastal Protection Authority (CICPA), will feature a dedicated 

exhibition and conference, providing valuable insights on the growing need for worldwide industry 

security across the energy landscape. 

“Global advances in technology have allowed us to connect with others in a way we never have 

before. In the energy sector, it has propelled stakeholder collaboration and the sharing of knowledge 

and information, enabling realtime interaction between experts, professionals, and those working on 

the field,” remarked Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, the director general of the UAE Telecommunications 

Regulatory Authority (TRA). 

"However, with greater interconnectivity comes greater challenges within information security, 

making it crucial that we are always one step ahead when it comes to protecting sensitive data," 

stated Al Mansoori. 

"This means organisations need to develop a consolidated, multilayered strategy for safeguarding 

critical industry information," he noted. 

The inaugural ‘Security in Energy’ exhibition and conference at Adipec will address those very 

concerns, inviting the best and brightest minds under one roof to discuss how the industry can shield 

itself from the very real threats posed by information technology,” stated Al Mansoori. 

Set to be the annual meeting platform for key regional and international stakeholders engaged in 

ensuring the safety of the industry, ‘Security in Energy’ will address both the physical and virtual 

threats to critical infrastructure. 

The conference agenda includes a keynote presentation by British army officer and former Nato 

deputy supreme allied commander for Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff. 

Conference speakers will also include seniorlevel representation from industry leading companies, 

to include the TRA, Saudi Aramco, and the National Emergency and Crisis and Disasters 

Management Authority (NCEMA). 

Cyber threats and attacks against the oil and gas industry in different parts of the world are 

becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated targeting both IT and OT infrastructures. 

USbased ABIresearch forecasts global cybersecurity spending on oil and gas critical infrastructure 

to reach $1.87 billion by 2018. 

“In 2016, there is an urgency for nations to adopt national integrated cyber/physical security 

frameworks to preempt the growing external threats that are now constantly exploring vulnerabilities 

in energy facilities across the supply chain,” remarked Dr Sally Leivesley, the managing director of 

UKbased risk management firm Newrisk Limited. 

“Security in Energy at Adipec 2016 is an essential part of the region’s strategy to mitigate the 

significant risks associated with these threats by delivering layered solutions for innovative security 

frameworks, with lectures on preemptive physical and cyber solutions, cyber target tracking, realtime 

intelligence, new technology, and practical assurance and exercising procedures.” 



“Today, we are witnessing the digitisation of the oil and gas industry, characterised by the increased 

application of information technology,” said Christopher Hudson, the president of dmg events, 

Global Energy. 

“Maintaining the protection and integrity of vital assets in today’s dynamic and increasingly 

globalised business environment is crucial for sustainable progress in the energy sector. ‘Security in 

Energy’ at Adipec 2016 will offer innovative solutions that organisations can deploy for effective 

critical infrastructure protection,” he added.TradeArabia News Service

gas industry worth US$13 billion by 2018 

Posted on 

(EnergyAsia, September 19 2016, Monday) — The market for protecting oil and gas infrastructure in 

the Middle East is worth US$18 billion by 2018, with cybersecurity spending in the global industry 

expected to reach US$1.87 billion, according to an Abu Dhabi event organiser citing separate studies. 

The Middle East study was undertaken by MarketsandMarkets while US-based ABIresearch provided 

the forecast for the global cybersecurity spending on oil and gas infrastructure. 

For the first time, security for energy infrastructure will be a topic all on its own at the upcoming Abu 

Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC 2016), said organiser dmg events. 

Former NATO Commander General Sir Richard Shirreff will deliver the keynote address at the 

inaugural ‘Security in Energy’ exhibition and conference to be held at the Abu Dhabi National 

Exhibition Centre on November 7 to 10. 

The programme will feature technical sessions and panel discussions on disaster prevention, 

emergency readiness, event recovery, security solutions and risk mitigation for the energy sector. 

“The promise of emerging technology brings with it a growing concern of data and infrastructure 


immediately addressed in the region and across the world,” said a dmg events statement. 

The market to protect government, energy and critical infrastructure in the Middle East will grow to 

US$34 billion by 2020, the statement said, citing a recent Frost & Sullivan report. 

Cyber threats and attacks against the oil and gas industry are becoming increasingly common and 

sophisticated, forcing organisations to continuously improve cybersecurity safeguards and protocols 

to protect information, equipment and processes.

Oil industry 'must take a streamlined approach to security' 

Mon, 19 Sep 2016 

MIDDLE EAST BUSINESS NEWS 

ABU DHABI 

Organisations in the oil and gas industry must adapt to an increasingly 

interconnected energy landscape by taking a streamlined and coordinated 

approach to security, according to international experts. 

The promise of emerging technology brings with it a growing concern of data and 

infrastructure protection within the industry, which has proven to be a persistent 

challenge that needs to be immediately addressed in the region and across the 

world, they stated. 

The Middle East’s burgeoning security market is forecast to be worth $34 billion by 

2020, with more than 50 per cent being spent on government, energy, and critical 

infrastructure alone, according to a recent Frost & Sullivan report. 

Meanwhile, figures from MarketsandMarkets show that the overall critical 

infrastructure protection market in the Middle East will be worth $13.07 billion over 

the next two years. 

In support of regional and global efforts to protect the industry from threats posed by 

compromised information technology and today’s rapidly changing global 

environment, the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference 

(ADIPEC 2016) will be launching its debut edition of ‘Security in Energy’. 

The annual fourday event will take place from November 7 to 10 at the Abu Dhabi 

National Exhibition Centre. 

The programme, which is supported by the UAE Telecommunications Regulatory 

Authority (TRA) and the Critical Infrastructure and Coastal Protection Authority 

(CICPA), will feature a dedicated exhibition and conference, providing valuable 

insights on the growing need for worldwide industry security across the energy 

landscape. 

“Global advances in technology have allowed us to connect with others in a way we 

never have before. In the energy sector, it has propelled stakeholder collaboration

and the sharing of knowledge and information, enabling realtime interaction 

between experts, professionals, and those working on the field,” remarked Hamad 

Obaid Al Mansoori, the director general of the UAE Telecommunications Regulatory 


"However, with greater interconnectivity comes greater challenges within information 

security, making it crucial that we are always one step ahead when it comes to 

protecting sensitive data," stated Al Mansoori. 

"This means organisations need to develop a consolidated, multilayered strategy for 

safeguarding critical industry information," he noted. 

The inaugural ‘Security in Energy’ exhibition and conference at Adipec will address 

those very concerns, inviting the best and brightest minds under one roof to discuss

technology,” stated Al Mansoori. 

Set to be the annual meeting platform for key regional and international stakeholders 

engaged in ensuring the safety of the industry, ‘Security in Energy’ will address both 

the physical and virtual threats to critical infrastructure. 

The conference agenda includes a keynote presentation by British army officer and 

former Nato deputy supreme allied commander for Europe, General Sir Richard 

Shirreff. 

Conference speakers will also include seniorlevel representation from industry 

leading companies, to include the TRA, Saudi Aramco, and the National Emergency 

and Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA). 

Cyber threats and attacks against the oil and gas industry in different parts of the 

world are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated targeting both IT and 

OT infrastructures. 

USbased ABIresearch forecasts global cybersecurity spending on oil and gas 

critical infrastructure to reach $1.87 billion by 2018. 

“In 2016, there is an urgency for nations to adopt national integrated cyber/physical 

security frameworks to preempt the growing external threats that are now constantly 

exploring vulnerabilities in energy facilities across the supply chain,” remarked Dr 

Sally Leivesley, the managing director of UKbased risk management firm Newrisk 

Limited. 

“Security in Energy at Adipec 2016 is an essential part of the region’s strategy to 

mitigate the significant risks associated with these threats by delivering layered 

solutions for innovative security frameworks, with lectures on preemptive physical 

and cyber solutions, cyber target tracking, realtime intelligence, new technology, 

and practical assurance and exercising procedures.” 

“Today, we are witnessing the digitisation of the oil and gas industry, characterised 

by the increased application of information technology,” said Christopher Hudson, 

the president of dmg events, Global Energy. 

“Maintaining the protection and integrity of vital assets in today’s dynamic and 

increasingly globalised business environment is crucial for sustainable progress in 

the energy sector. ‘Security in Energy’ at Adipec 2016 will offer innovative solutions 

that organisations can deploy for effective critical infrastructure protection,” he

The Middle East's burgeoning security market is forecast to be worth USD 34 billion by 2020, with 

more than 50 per cent being spent on government, energy, and critical infrastructure alone, 


that the overall critical infrastructure protection market in the Middle East will be worth USD 

$13.07 billion by 2018. 

In support of regional and global efforts to protect the industry from threats posed by 

compromised information technology and today's rapidly changing global environment, the Abu 

Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC 2016) will be launching its 

inaugural edition of 'Security in Energy'. 





"Global advances in technology have allowed us to connect with others in a way we never have 



those working on the field," said H.E. Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of the UAE 



making it crucial that we are always one step ahead when it comes to protecting sensitive data. 

This means organisations need to develop a consolidated, multi-layered strategy for safeguarding 

critical industry information. The inaugural 'Security in Energy' exhibition and conference at 

ADIPEC will address those very concerns, inviting the best and brightest minds under one roof to 

discuss how the industry can shield itself from the very real threats posed by information 

technology," H.E. Al Mansoori added.

Industry experts are calling for continuous improvements to cybersecurity safeguards and 

protocols in oil and gas facilities in order to protect valuable company information and key 

operational equipment, as well as to maintain operations in a safe and secure manner. 

Recent figures from Cybersecurity Ventures show that spending on protection against cyberattacks 

is forecast to be a market worth USD $13.43 billion by 2019 in the Middle East and Africa 

region alone. Meanwhile, US-based ABIresearch forecasts global cybersecurity spending on oil 

and gas critical infrastructure to reach USD $1.87 billion by 2018. 

"In 2016, there is an urgency for nations to adopt national integrated cyber/physical security 


vulnerabilities in energy facilities across the supply chain," said Dr Sally Leivesley, Managing 


"Security in Energy at ADIPEC 2016 is an essential part of the region's strategy to mitigate the 



intelligence, new technology, and practical assurance and exercising procedures."

GCC oil companies must focus on economic sustainability 


Exploration director at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), Intisaar Al Kindi, says GCC oil companies must have an immediate focus on economic 

sustainability if they are to maintain the value of the region’s natural resources into the future. 

By bq staff - Sep 26, 2016 

PDO is recognised as a leader in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), finding innovative solutions to industry problems, the latest example being the 

pioneering USD 600 million Miraah solar thermal power project. 

Due to come online in 2017, Miraah will use the sun’s energy to produce super-heated steam, which can be injected into oil wells to make the 

recovery of viscous crude – or heavy oil – easier and cheaper. 

Those savings can help offset instability in global oil prices, with Oman’s 2016 budget outlining a 33 percent fall in oil and gas revenues to RO 

6.15 billion, down from RO 9.16 bn in 2015. 

Others in the industry are taking note and Al Kindi says oil companies across the region must challenge the way they work if they are to 

succeed in the current economic climate. 

“Ensuring that our business is sustainable is a long-term goal for PDO, but the current global challenges facing our industry also underline the 

importance of achieving sustainability now,” said Al Kindi. 

http://www.bq-magazine.com/energy/oil-energy/2016/09/gcc-oil-companies-must-focus-on-economic-sustainability


She added: “To be successful in this objective, we still need to deliver on our core activities, including safety, asset integrity, production, early 

monetisation of exploration opportunities, well and reservoir management and operational excellence, while mitigating our environmental 

impact.” 

It is possible to do all of this through continued business improvement, rigourous cost control, a more collaborative relationship with contractors 

and the utilisation of new technologies, she said. 

Al Kindi will represent PDO at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) in November. She is a member of 

ADIPEC’s executive committee. 

Resilience 

Resilience has emerged as a critical issue for decision makers and investors in the petroleum industry. According to the OPEC World Energy 

Trends Report 2015, the oil industry has faced a challenging year, with a cooling economic outlook in non-OECD markets, particularly China, 

where rapid increases in demand appear to be maturing. 

However, forecasts show continued growth in the global economy, and oil is predicted to remain the most significant energy source. GCC 

suppliers can expect to benefit from this growth as the balance between supply and demand in the oil market stabilises, while the development 

of high-cost petroleum resources, such as shale oil, is likely to be more subdued as investors question their long-term viability. 

GCC response 

How the GCC industry responds to the shifting market, both in the short and longer term, will be an important point of discussion during the 

ADIPEC gathering, which brings together leading international experts from all sectors of the industry to share knowledge and experience. 

The event is expected to attract more than 2,300 exhibiting companies, 8,500 delegates, 700 speakers and 100,000 trade professionals from 

135 countries. Increasingly, ADIPEC considers petroleum’s role as part of a broader energy mix, with the theme ‘Strategies for the New Energy 


“We must seize this opportunity afforded by the current economic constraints to challenge the way we work. In doing that, we continue to be 

optimistic about the outlook, spurred on by the progress that we are making, our robust plans to stay the course and our ongoing commitment 

to sustainable development,” said Al Kindi.

while mitigating our environmental impact." 

"It is possible to do all of this through continued business improvement, rigorous cost 

control, a more collaborative relationship with contractors, and the utilisation of new 

technologies." 

Ms Al Kindi will represent PDO at the Middle East's largest industry gathering, the Abu 

Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) in November, and is 

also a member of ADIPEC's Executive Committee. 

"Against this challenging background, ADIPEC offers an important international platform to 

present our ideas, to discuss issues of common interest with colleagues from around the 

world, and learn from industry best practice." 


petroleum industry. According to the OPEC World Energy Trends Report 2015, the oil 

industry has faced a challenging year, with a cooling economic outlook in nonOECD 

markets, particularly China, where rapid increases in demand appear to be maturing. 

However, forecasts show continued growth in the global economy, and oil is predicted to 

remain the most significant energy source. GCC suppliers can expect to benefit from this 

growth as the balance between supply and demand in the oil market stabilises, while the 

development of highcost petroleum resources, such as shale oil, is likely to be more 

subdued as investors question their longterm viability. 

How the GCC industry responds to the shifting market, both in the short and longer term, 

will be an important point of discussion during the ADIPEC gathering, which brings together 

leading international experts from all sectors of the industry to share knowledge and 

experience. The event is expected to attract more than 2,300 exhibiting companies, 8,500 

delegates, 700 speakers, and 100,000 trade professionals from 135 countries. Increasingly, 

ADIPEC considers petroleum's role as part of a broader energy mix, with the theme 

'Strategies for the New Energy Landscape' setting the agenda for a distinguished 

conference programme in 2016. 

"We must seize this opportunity afforded by the current economic constraints to challenge 

the way we work. In doing that, we continue to be optimistic about the outlook, spurred on 

by the progress that we are making, our robust plans to stay the course, and our ongoing 

commitment to sustainable development," concluded Ms Al Kindi.

ADIPEC 2016 Unveils List of HighLevel Speakers for Distinguished VIP Programme 

Published on: Wed, 09/28/2016 16:42 

The distinguished VIP Programme at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition 

and Conference (ADIPEC 2016) is coming back stronger than ever this year, bringing a 

series of highlevel speakers to the UAE capital in November to share their insights on 

critical industry topics shaping the future of energy. 

Held across the four days of ADIPEC, the 2016 VIP Programme takes place in a 

purposebuilt dedicated theatre and caters to the members of the prestigious Middle 

East Petroleum Club (MEPC), the definitive networking and knowledgeexchange 

platform for senior oil and gas executives. The programme invites industry officials and 

decision makers to engage in open dialogue with MEPC members through a series of 

‘An audience with…’ discussions and Executive Dialogues in the controlled privacy of 

the club. 

This year’s programme will include an exclusive OPEC industry briefing by H.E. 

Mohammed Barkindo, OPEC Secretary General, and Ahmed Al Kaabi, UAE OPEC 

Governor and the Assistant Undersecretary for Petroleum, Gas and Mineral 

Resources at the UAE Ministry of Energy, offering their expert insights on the world 

outlook for oil. 

The highly anticipated discussion will assess the state of the oil market, looking at 

the delicate balance between supply and demand in line with contracting 

economies and tighter emission regulations. It will also offer clarity on the 

challenges that lie ahead for the industry, and encourage dialogue between 

producers and consumers. 

Also headlining this year’s agenda is H.E. Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, UAE 

Minister of Energy, who will be shedding light on the nation’s future energy vision, 

which is committed to including both traditional and renewable energy forms. 

H.E. Tarek El Molla, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources for Egypt – the 

largest oil producing country in Africa outside OPEC – will also present his insights 

on Egypt’s ambitious goals for the energy sector and the nation’s strategy for 

encouraging international investment and balancing supply demand subsidies. 

Topics scheduled for discussion will cover issues high on the agenda of CSuite 

members, including effective leadership strategies amid an evolving energy 

landscape and challenging business climate. 

Drawing parallels between the military and business worlds, General Sir Richard 

Shirreff, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander for NATO Europe (20112014), will 

share his insights on the importance of partnerships, collaborations, and 

international relations in times of conflict and economic difficulty.

“While the fundamentals of leadership have remained the same, what has 

changed is the intricate nature of the environment we work in,” Gen Shirreff said. 

“What is required today is leadership through influence, as opposed to the 

traditional form of authoritarian leadership. Building lasting strategic relationships 

through diplomacy and negotiations is essential in today’s world. Getting people to 

follow your direction because they want to, not because they have to – that is the 

true quality of a good leader.” 

After his highly acclaimed participation last year, celebrated oil expert Dr. Daniel 

Yergin, Vice Chairman of the industry consulting group IHS Markit, will be returning 

to the MEPC to offer his latest academic views on today’s global energy markets, 

politics, and economics. 

With a strong track record of promoting crossindustry collaboration and best 

practice, the VIP Programme will also invite F1 Grand Prix Motor Racing Executive, 

Mark Gallagher, to the stage for a live Q&A discussion on how risk management 

and teamwork skills on the racetrack can be adapted for the boardroom. 

The onehour Executive Dialogues will also include discussions on underwriting 

the new energy landscape, decarbonising the future energy mix, the emerging role 

of gas as the clean alternative of choice, and fracking and its environmental 

impacts. 

Established as the world’s most influential exhibition and conference for the oil and 

gas industry, ADIPEC brings globally celebrated luminaries, experts, and decision 

makers under one roof to discuss challenges and opportunities in the energy 

sector. The annual fourday event will take place from 710 November 2016 at the 

Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).

Oil Industry Must Focus on Sustainability, Says Top Petroleum 

Development Oman Executive 

The Exploration Director at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), 

Intisaar Al Kindi, says GCC oil companies must have an immediate 

focus on economic sustainability if they are to maintain the value of 

the region’s natural resources into the future. 

PDO is recognised as a leader in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), 

finding innovative solutions to industry problems, the latest example 

being the pioneering USD 600 million Miraah solar thermal power project. Due to come 

online in 2017, Miraah will use the sun’s energy to produce super-heated steam, which can 

be injected into oil wells to make the recovery of viscous crude – or ‘heavy oil’ – easier and 

cheaper. Those savings can help offset instability in global oil prices, with the Sultanate’s 

2016 budget outlining a 33 percent fall in oil and gas revenues to 6.15 billion Omani Rials, 

down from 9.16 billion in 2015. 

Others in the industry are taking note, and Ms Al Kindi says oil companies across the region 

must challenge the way they work if they are to succeed in the current economic climate. 


challenges facing our industry also underline the importance of achieving sustainability 

now,” said Ms Al Kindi. “To be successful in this objective we still need to deliver on our core

Abu Dhabi prepares to host 100,000 Oil & Gas Professionals 

for ADIPEC 2016 



• More than 2,000 Exhibitors and 8,500 Delegates set to attend World’s Most Influential Oil and 

Gas Exhibition and Conference. 

• H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and ADNOC Group CEO; and Rex W. 

Tillerson, Exxon Mobil Corporation Chairman and CEO, to Deliver Opening Ceremony 

Keynotes. 

World energy leaders, government officials, decision makers, and more than 100,000 oil and gas 

trade professionals from 125 countries are gearing up to attend the world’s most influential event 

for the oil and gas industry, the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2016). 

Preparations are underway as the UAE capital prepares to welcome thousands of movers and shakers in energy to address 

the imminent challenges and opportunities facing the petroleum sector, including the vital need to drive operational 

efficiency in a rapidly changing energy landscape. 

Held under the patronage of the President of the United Arab Emirates, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, 

ADIPEC connects decision makers with technical experts, innovators, and thought leaders, serving as a catalyst for new 

ideas, policies, and technologies that drive energy sector progress. 

The landmark energy event is hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), and organised by the Global 

Energy division of dmg events. 

More than 50 per cent of ADIPEC attendees are expected to have sole or joint purchasing authority, demonstrating the event’s 

position as a powerhouse for local, regional, and international business opportunities in energy. 

“As the energy sector witnesses a transformation, businesses must adapt their strategies not only to survive today’s 

challenges, but also to create a resilient foundation for what tomorrow brings,” said Mr. Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, CEO of Al 

Yasat Petroleum Operations Company and ADIPEC 2016 Chairman. 

“Knowledge is key to unlocking the opportunities presented by the new energy landscape. As the global meeting place for oil 

and gas professionals, ADIPEC offers stakeholders access to real ontheground intelligence and information on the latest 

industry developments,” Mr. Al Shamsi added. 

ADIPEC will host more than 2,000 exhibiting companies, 8,500 delegates, 700 speakers, and 25 international pavilions, 

including major oil producing countries, such as the US, Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia, as well as emerging markets, such 

as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Spain. 

Bringing the World’s Energy Leaders to Abu Dhabi 

The distinguished ADIPEC Conference Programme, organised in collaboration with the Society of Petroleum Engineers 

(SPE), will commence with a prestigious Opening Ceremony, including keynote presentations by H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al 

Jaber, UAE Minister of State and CEO of the ADNOC Group of Companies, and Rex W. Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of 

Exxon Mobil Corporation. 

Three Global Business Leader sessions will invite CEOs of the world’s oil giants to the stage to shed light on critical industry 

topics, including a world outlook for the oil industry, the developing role of gas and LNG, and effective leadership strategies. 

Confirmed speakers include Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of Total; Bob Dudley, CEO of BP; Vicki A. Hollub, 

President and CEO of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, and Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Management 

Committee at Gazprom.

The 2016 edition of the ADIPEC Conference Programme will also feature 2 Global Ministerial Dialogues, with insights from 

H.E. Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy, H.E. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Oil and Gas 

Affairs Minister for the Kingdom of Bahrain, and H.E. Tarek El Molla, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources for the 

Arab Republic of Egypt. The Conference Programme agenda also includes 8 Panel Sessions, 3 Breakfast Sessions, and 3 

Luncheon Sessions, and 106 Technical Sessions. 

The ADIPEC Technical Conference Programme continues to witness remarkable growth, having once again broken the world 

record for the number of submitted abstracts in the oil and gas industry. 

This year, the programme received 2,775 abstract submissions, of which more than half were from outside the Middle East, 

truly underlining ADIPEC’s international reach. Year on year, the quality of submissions continues to improve, according to 

the ADIPEC Technical Committee, with the number of technical sessions having also increased by onethird compared to last 

year – further cementing ADIPEC’s position as the premier event for technical knowledge in the industry. 

The exclusive VIP Programme is also back stronger than ever, inviting industry officials and decision makers to engage in 

open dialogue with members of the prestigious Middle East Petroleum Club (MEPC), the definitive networking and 

knowledgeexchange platform for senior oil and gas executives. Headlining this year’s programme is H.E. Mohammed 

Barkindo, OPEC Secretary General, who will be providing insights on the world outlook for oil. 

“ADIPEC has a worldwide reputation as an event where companies within the sector achieve strong business results, and for 

providing essential thought leadership on the industry’s most significant present and future challenges,” said Christopher 

Hudson, President – dmg events, Global Energy. 

“Because ADIPEC is a comprehensive event that addresses both technical and nontechnical functions in the oil and gas 

industry, trade professionals, decision makers, and experts attend the event to get the most uptodate industry information 

that will empower them with the knowledge they need to drive their organisations and markets to success.” 

Offshore & Marine Conference Returns for an Encore 

Following its successful launch in 2015, the dedicated Offshore, Marine, and Heavy Equipment Zone returns to ADIPEC 

and is set to attract more than 100 exhibiting companies in support of ongoing global and regional investments in offshore 

production. Situated on a purposebuild quayside exhibition and conference theatre, the dedicated zone will feature a display

Gender Balance in Energy Sector 

Published: 10-10-16 

Workplace diversity is becoming more important than ever as the energy sector 

undergoes a rapid transformation, and as gender balance increasingly emerges as a 

definitive factor in organisational success, female leaders said ahead of the 

upcoming ADIPEC 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

Female achievers said that while great strides have been made in promoting gender 

diversity, the oil and gas industry is still struggling with exceptionally low female-to-male 


“Things have dramatically improved for women in the UAE in the past few years, driven 

principally by the strong and unwavering support of the country’s leadership,” said Fatema 

Al Neaimi, Manager, Gas Strategy and Master Planning Unit at the Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company (ADNOC), and a speaker at the ADIPEC 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

“However, we still have a long way to go as there are many challenges that need to be 

addressed, and these challenges are not just specific to this country or the region, but are 

global obstacles that the industry is facing every day. They are also both physical and socio 

-psychological in nature – from creating supportive corporate infrastructures, to inspiring 

women to be a part of the industry’s future developments.” 


surrounding the role of women in the energy sector, ‘Women in Energy’ (formerly ‘Women 

in Industry’) will take place on Day 3, Wednesday, 9 November at Al Maared Hall, and is 

part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), one of 

the world’s leading energy events and a global meeting place for oil and gas professionals. 

According to a recent Reuters report, the oil and gas industry has the lowest representation 

of female professionals among all employers. In addition, an analysis of US energy 

companies by global advisory firm Korn Ferry found that women make up just 6 per cent of 

CEO positions in energy. 

From a global standpoint, professional networking site LinkedIn found that women make up 

just 26.7 per cent of all its oil and energy industry profiles. That is the lowest percentage 

among the industries examined – healthcare had the largest percentage, at about 59.8 per 

cent, and tech came in at the middle, at 30.6 per cent. 

Today’s new energy landscape, characterised by an evolving global energy mix and a 

strong focus on operational efficiency, presents women with numerous career opportunities 

and pathways to choose from, say experts. 

Eileen Wilkinson, Vice President for Exploration in MENA at Shell, and a key participant in 

the ADIPEC 2016 ‘Women in Energy’ conference, highlighted the important value that 

women bring to the energy workforce. 

“As a geologist I’m keen to play my part in addressing the tremendous challenges and 

opportunities that face our business and our industry – identifying the right mix of 

renewables and hydrocarbons which support local economies and societies. The truth is, in 

order to meet these demands on our shared energy future we don’t just need all types of 

energy, we need diversity of thought,” Ms Wilkinson said.

“In my career I have seen diversity feed innovation across Asia-Pacific, Europe and in the 

Middle East, and I believe it is the key to sustained longevity of great companies. I want to 

inspire young women to come into the industry. Women have technical excellence, the 

ability to multitask and to think through complex problems,” Ms Wilkinson added. 

Nevertheless, encouraging women to follow a career path in energy, retaining them, and 

cultivating their career growth, should be a communitywide effort, says Ms Al Neaimi. 

“We need more of a grassroots effort, particularly when looking at the quality of education in 

the sciences,” she said. “We need to get involved from the early stages of a student’s 

academic life. It is our responsibility as a community, from parents and schools, to 

universities and employers, to make the industry more attractive to our children. Members 

of the younger generation need better visibility of the opportunities available to them, and a 

stronger understanding of the impact they will be making by joining the oil and gas 

industry.”

Abu Dhabi pupils get a glimpse of oilfield work

ABU DHABI // A group of high school students got a first-hand look at how 

oil is extracted from the ground, but sadly were not showered in a gush of 

"black gold". 

"That’s a misconception that everyone has," an official with Schlumberger, 

the world’s largest oilfield services company, said with a smile, referring to 

the cinematic scenes of euphoric prospectors striking it rich. "Otherwise, it 

would be very easy." 

An audience of about 35 youngsters from public and private schools across 

the emirate were invited to tour the company’s new rock analysis laboratory 

in Mussafah as part of Young Adipec, an outreach programme offered by 

the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) 

and Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec) to help cultivate the next 

generation of oil and gas professionals. 

In addition to touring leading energy companies, the students will take part in 

engineering workshops during the academic year and will participate in the 

inaugural Young Adipec Youth Forum next month.

"We don’t have enough Emirati or youth talent in the engineering sector," 

said Young Adipec programme manager Hanadi Aliwat. "So the aim is to 

encourage the young generation to enrol in oil and gas studies and 

introduce them to the career options available." 

More than 700 pupils have graduated through Young Adipec since it 

launched with six schools in 2013. This year, four private and 14 public 

schools will take part in the programme, which is open to students between 

14 and 17 years old. 

Ms Aliwat said Young Adipec had only anecdotal data about how many of its 

students have gone on to pursue higher studies in science, technology, 

engineering or maths. 

According to the 2013-2014 UAE Higher Education Factbook, 17.4 per cent 

of Emirati students were enrolled in an engineering programme for that 

academic year. Engineering was second only to business administration, 

which attracted 30.5 per cent of the Emirati student population. 

Jeff Sykes, vice principal of the Adnoc Abu Dhabi male campus, who 

accompanied pupils on the tour of the Schlumberger Rock Laboratory 

Services, said the experience was "unique and valuable". 

"It gives them an opportunity to see how what they’re learning in the 

classroom is applied in the real world experience," Mr Sykes said. "Many of 

them want to be engineers, some of them specifically want to be petroleum 

engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, so all the different stations 

that they saw today applied to some of what they’re aspiring to be." 

Wearing hard hats, lab coats and protective eye goggles, the students were 

led by Schlumberger engineers and geologists through a series of high-tech 

geomechanics labs featuring multimillion-dollar proprietary and other 

industry-standard equipment. 

They watched demonstrations of rock samples being cleaned, slabbed, cut 

into cork-size plugs, stress tested, gamma rayed, X rayed, CT scanned, 

crushed, powdered and mixed with water as the experts analysed the rock 

samples’ properties. The results would ultimately tell the engineers whether 

extractable oil exists in the reservoir where the sample was taken and, if so, 

how to build around the area to keep the well stable. 

At the end of the three-hour tour, 15-year-old Mohammed Babhib was 

convinced of his career calling. 

"I hope I will work here," the aspiring mechanical and petroleum engineer 

said. "When I was a kid, I was thinking about cars, but now I am thinking 

about oil. Oil is more important than cars. Cars need oil to run."

Oil and gas companies must show agility in 

approach to business 

Oil and gas firms must show agility in their approach to business and adapt to a rapidlyevolving 

supply mix by staying ahead of the curve when it comes to industry technology and 

innovation. 

By bq staff - Oct 12, 2016 

Speaking ahead of the upcoming Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & 

Conference (ADIPEC 2016) in November, Ali Al Janabi, Shell Abu Dhabi vice-president 

and chairman, said that while fossil fuels will continue to lead the global energy mix, a 

changing energy landscape makes it imperative that the oil and gas community adopts 

effective transitional strategies both on and off the field. 

“There is no doubt that fossil fuels will continue to be a dominant source of energy over 

the next two decades, however, we will definitely continue to see considerable changes 

in the energy mix,” said Al Janabi.



Page 2 of 3 


Clean energy 

As the oil and gas community looks for ways to reduce CO2 emissions, high carbon 

emitting sources, such as coal, may see a sharp decline, while other, cleaner sources of 

energy, such as natural gas, will play an increasingly important role, he stated. 

Al Janabi added: “This evolving energy landscape will shape where investments are 

being made going forward. As a knowledge-sharing platform that brings the world’s 

leading experts under one roof, ADIPEC will enable stakeholders within the industry to 

identify opportunities in line with this global shift towards more sustainable energy 

resources.” 

Natural gas growth 

According to the 2015 World Energy Outlook, natural gas is expected to be the fastest 

growing fossil fuel, with a 50 percent increase in consumption by 2040. The Middle East 

and China will be the main centres of gas demand growth, both becoming larger 

consumers than the European Union.



Page 3 of 3 


The report also indicates that one-fifth of the projected rise in global demand consists of 

gas transported over long distances via very capital- intensive pipeline or LNG projects. 

Keeping the costs of such projects at bay will be vital to the future competitive 

positioning of both oil and gas, said experts. 

Sustainable strategies 

“At Total we are committed to better energy, and this means deploying sustainable 

strategies, from producing oil at low cost to exploring new applications of natural gas, 

as part of our ongoing efforts to meet the world’s growing energy needs while 

preserving the environment and minimising our carbon footprint,” said Hatem 

Nuseibeh, president of Total E&P UAE.

ABU DHABI, 12th October, 2016 (WAM) Oil and gas companies must demonstrate agility in their approach to business and adapt to a rapidly evolving 

supply mix by staying ahead of the curve when it comes to industry technology and innovation, urge UAE experts. 

Speaking ahead of his participation in the upcoming Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC 2016) top be held in Abu 

Dhabi from 7th to 10th November, Ali AlJanabi, Shell Abu Dhabi VP and Chairman, said that while fossil fuels will continue to lead the global energy 

mix, a changing energy landscape makes it imperative that the oil and gas community adopts effective transitional strategies both on and off the field. 

"There is no doubt that fossil fuels will continue to be a dominant source of energy over the next two decades, however, we will definitely continue to see 

considerable changes in the energy mix," said AlJanabi. 

"As the oil and gas community looks for ways to reduce CO2 emissions, high carbon emitting sources, such as coal, may see a sharp decline, while other, 

cleaner sources of energy, such as natural gas, will play an increasingly important role." 

"This evolving energy landscape will shape where investments are being made going forward. As a knowledgesharing platform that brings the world’s 

leading experts under one roof, ADIPEC will enable stakeholders within the petroleum industry to identify opportunities in line with this global shift 

towards more sustainable energy resources," Mr AlJanabi added. 

According to the 2015 World Energy Outlook, natural gas is expected to be the fastestgrowing fossil fuel, with a 50 percent increase in consumption by 

2040. The Middle East and China will be the main centres of gas demand growth, both becoming larger consumers than the European Union. 

"At Total we are committed to better energy, and this means deploying sustainable strategies – from producing oil at low cost to exploring new applications 

ofnatural gas – as part of our ongoing efforts to meet the world’s growing energy needs while preserving the environment and minimising our carbon 

footprint," said Hatem Nuseibeh, President of Total E&P UAE, Group Representative in the UAE, and cochair of one of the key Panel Sessions at 

ADIPEC 2016. 

"ADIPEC enables stakeholders to stay abreast of the latest industry developments and best practice by bringing all major international and national players 

in the oil and gas business under one roof to meet and share their ideas and vision for the future of energy." 

As part of the ADIPEC 2016 Conference Programme, eight panel sessions will address topics critical to the development of the oil and gas industry.

Natural Gas Fastest Growing Fossil Fuel Globally, with 50% Increase in Consumption by 2040: World 

Energy Outlook 

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 12 October 2016 – Oil and gas companies must demonstrate agility in their approach 

to business and adapt to a rapidly evolving supply mix by staying ahead of the curve when it comes to 

industry technology and innovation, urge UAE experts. 

Speaking ahead of his participation in the upcoming Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & 

Conference (ADIPEC 2016) in November, Ali AlJanabi, Shell Abu Dhabi VP and Chairman, said that 

while fossil fuels will continue to lead the global energy mix, a changing energy landscape makes it 

imperative that the oil and gas community adopts effective transitional strategies both on and off the field. 

“There is no doubt that fossil fuels will continue to be a dominant source of energy over the next two 

decades, however we will definitely continue to see considerable changes in the energy mix,” said Al 

Janabi. 

“As the oil and gas community looks for ways to reduce CO2 emissions, high carbon emitting sources, 

such as coal, may see a sharp decline, while other, cleaner sources of energy, such as natural gas, will 

play an increasingly important role.” 

“This evolving energy landscape will shape where investments are being made going forward. As a 

knowledgesharing platform that brings the world's leading experts under one roof, ADIPEC will enable 

stakeholders within the petroleum industry to identify opportunities in line with this global shift towards 

more sustainable energy resources,” Mr AlJanabi added. 

According to the 2015 World Energy Outlook, natural gas is expected to be the fastest growing fossil fuel, 

with a 50% increase in consumption by 2040. The Middle East and China will be the main centres of gas 

demand growth, both becoming larger consumers than the European Union. 

The report also indicates that onefifth of the projected rise in global demand consists of gas transported 

over long distances via very capital intensive pipeline or LNG projects. 

Keeping the costs of such projects at bay will be vital to the future competitive positioning of both oil and 

gas, say experts. 

“At Total we are committed to better energy, and this means deploying sustainable strategies – from 

producing oil at low cost to exploring new applications of natural gas – as part of our ongoing efforts to

11/29/2016 ADIPEC 2016: Emphasis on efficiency 

ADIPEC 2016: Emphasis on efficiency 

Arabian Oil & Gas Staff , October 18th, 2016 

Driving efficiency in the energy sector will form the cornerstone of the 

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 

2016, according to oil and gas leaders, particularly those from the UAE. 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, 

President of the UAE, hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), 

organised by dmg events, and supported by the UAE Ministry of Energy, the Abu 

Dhabi Chamber, and the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority, ADIPEC will take 

place from 7th to 10th November, 2016 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). 

With $9.7bn generated in business last year – nearly double the amount in 2013 – ADIPEC has built a solid track record of 

consistent growth, bolstered by its capacity to bring international decision makers under one roof for the common goal of 

advancing the energy sector locally, regionally, and globally. 

Billed as the premier meeting place for industry professionals, including Clevel executives from the world’s oil and gas giants, 

ADIPEC 2016 will be held under the theme ‘Transitional Strategies for an Efficient and Resilient Energy Industry’, setting the 

agenda for the event’s distinguished conference programme. 

Energy efficiency plays a critical role in limiting world energy demand growth to onethird by 2040, while the global economy 

grows by 150%, according to the latest International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook. The report also indicates that 

energy efficiency measures could reduce demand growth to 60% of what would otherwise be expected in the OPEC countries. 

"What we are witnessing today is a transformation of the global energy landscape, one in which research, technology, and 

innovation play a fundamental role. We firmly believe that innovation and efficiency today strongly impacts on the economy of 

tomorrow," Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, strategy & coordination director at ADNOC and ADIPEC 2016 chairman, said. "At ADIPEC, we 

are committed to serving the needs of the oil and gas community by providing an international platform where experts from 

across the globe can share best practices assuring a solid future for our industry." 

ADIPEC 2016 builds on the remarkable success of last year’s recordbreaking event, which welcomed more than 94,000 

attendees, 8,500 delegates, 700 speakers, 2,000 exhibitors, and 23 international pavilions. 

Christopher Hudson, president Global Energy at dmg events, said: "Industry professionals recognise that they must stay ahead 

of the curve to be resilient in today's economic environment. At ADIPEC, we firmly believe that every challenge presents an 

opportunity, and embracing sustainability and efficiency is key to realising success. The overwhelming response we continue to 

see yearonyear reflects the industry’s thirst for knowledge and information, and we look forward to once again hosting a 

landmark event that helps enable the progress of the energy sector." 

ADIPEC is again providing one of the world's largestscale conference programmes, organised in collaboration with the Society 

of Petroleum Engineers, with topics and subtopics covering both technical and nontechnical functions in the oil and gas 

industry. The globally acclaimed forum will bring together government ministers, CEOs of the world's oil and gas giants, and 

industry experts to address the current state and future opportunities for the energy sector. 

The ADIPEC Conference Programme has become the global platform for sourcing the latest and most credible information in 

the oil and gas industry, with continuous progress in both the range and the quality of proposals submitted. All abstracts go 

through a rigorous evaluation process by the Technical Programme Committee, ensuring that attendees and delegates have 

access to valuable content.

Nearly half of the conference content in 2015 was generated outside the Middle East, cementing the event’s position as a 

global hub for the energy sector. Last year, the ADIPEC Conference Programme received 2,278 abstracts from 540 

organisations across 65 countries, breaking previous records. Organisers have been looking to continue the recordbreaking 

streak, setting a target of gathering more than 2,500 abstracts, on topics ranging from exploration & production Geoscience to 

offshore & marine. 

In line with regional and global efforts to continue exploring and developing offshore production, last year’s inaugural ADIPEC 

Offshore, Marine and Heavy Equipment Zone also witnessed great success, making the event the first oil and gas exhibition in 

the MENA region to dedicate an entire waterfront section to offshore, subsea, and marine products and services. The dedicated 

area gave more than 85 exhibitors from across the sector an opportunity to showcase a variety of offshore supplies and 

services, ranging from ships and rigs to oceanography and mapping equipment. 

Also featuring at ADIPEC this year are the ADIPEC Awards, which celebrate excellence in energy, the Women in Industry 

Conference, which tackles some of the most pressing challenges facing women in energy, Young ADIPEC, a dedicated 

‘edutainment’ programme designed to encourage students to choose a career path in energy, and a VIP conference programme 

for members of the Middle East Petroleum Club. 

‘Industry must embrace the new energy landscape’ 

Oil and gas giants are calling for greater industry collaboration and an increased focus on operational efficiency, as global 

energy leaders prepare to gather in the UAE capital for ADIPEC 2016 in November. 

The future of the industry depends on its ability to embrace the new energy landscape and drive efficiency, say experts. 

Speaking ahead of his participation in the ADIPEC Global Business Leaders’ panel, where international CEOs will be gathering to 

address the challenges and opportunities facing the petroleum sector, Patrick Pouyanné, chairman and CEO of French energy 

giant Total, said industry stakeholders must work in unison towards the common goal of achieving a sustainable energy future. 

“The global energy landscape is witnessing a rapid change, influenced by economic challenges and efforts to reduce carbon 

emissions, which can be addressed by the emerging role of natural gas and renewables. All of this makes it crucial that industry 

players operate not only more efficiently, but also more closely, in a spirit of cooperation,” Pouyanné said. 

“Technology, innovation, research – they all play an instrumental role not only in managing this transitional period, but also in 

leveraging the many opportunities that it presents. This is what makes ADIPEC an invaluable event for the oil and gas 

community, because it offers a global platform for stakeholders to collaborate and collectively address not only the imminent 

challenges in the energy sector, but the longer term picture that is starting to take shape. As CEO of Total, which aims to 

become the responsible energy major, ADIPEC is an event I would not want to miss,” Pouyanné added. 

Highlights of ADIPEC 2016 

The marquee event this year to set host a range of sessions and panel discussions during the fourday mega event, that 

include: three Global Business Leaders sessions, eight Executive Panel sessions, 106 Technical sessions, eight Offshore & Marine 

sessions, two Security in Energy sessions, eight Women in Energy sessions, eight Middle East Petroleum Club VIP Programme 

sessions, and six breakfast and luncheon sessions 

Global Business Leaders sessions: 

November 78 

Topic: Sustaining oil production: how are global companies preparing to keep ahead of oil reserve depletion, squeezing the last 

drop of conventional oil and maximising recovery rates of existing mature fields, at the same time as harnessing the search to 

explore new, harder to find oil discoveries? Where does tight oil, heavy oil and shale oil fit within the overall conventional oil 

mix? 

Panel sessions: 

November 810 



Topic: The objective of this panel is to have distinguished R&T leaders across the energy sector to share with us how their 

companies/institutions are successfully managing this transition, including how to: put more focus on low hanging fruits, while 

maintaining a certain balance on the overall R&T portfolio to preserve a consistent vision; cut costs without hurting the 

business, improving the overall value; explore systematically for opportunities from adjacent/crossover technologies; retain key 

competencies and expertise; emerge stronger and more resilient after the transition. 

Technical sessions: 

November 710 

The fourday multistreamed conference reflects the business critical needs of today’s industry, providing businesses with a 

comprehensive programme covering 106 sessions with over 700 speakers. Meet and interact with over 8,500 delegates from 

more than 120 countries from major IOCs, plus a multitude of NOCs, engineering contractors, ship builders, manufacturers, 

distributors and service providers making the ADIPEC conference the ideal platform to gain strategic insights and network with 

likeminded peers. 

Offshore & Marine sessions: 

November 810 

The sessions will deliberate on reducing risks, containing costs and increasing certainty to achieve a successful appraisal 

offshore oil and gas fields. When more data does not equal more information; analysing the results to create and optimise the 

development plan. Key strategies for developing the field safely, profitably, responsibly. 

Security in energy sessions: 

November 89 

Security in the oil and gas industry is becoming increasingly important on a global scale but especially in the Middle East given 

the importance of the sector and the requirement to upgrade legacy infrastructure, which till now has typically been upgraded 

through a system of patches, rather than an effort for fullblown network upgrades. 

Women in Energy: 

November 9 

Venue: Al Maared Hall, ADNEC 

Timing: 08:00 – 16:00 

• Celebrating women as Ministers holding significant positions in public office. 

• Addressing their daytoday roles; making and implementing decisions on policy, and creating frameworks for the nation. 

• Showcasing exemplary business acumen and leadership skills, inspiring the pursuit of leadership roles. 

Middle East Petroleum Club VIP Programme sessions: 

November 710 

Taking place over the four days of ADIPEC, the 2016 VIP Programme caters to the interests of the MEPC members. Hosted 

within the purposebuilt dedicated theatre, the VIP Programme offers members the opportunity to attend a wide range of 

exclusive industry briefings. Topics scheduled for discussion include cutting edge insights into issues high on the agenda of the 

Csuite members providing industry insight, intelligence and information in the controlled privacy of the Club for the business 

elites.

Longterm resilience has emerged as a critical issue for decision makers, and investors, in the petroleum 


challenging year, with a cooling economic outlook in nonOECD markets, particularly China, where rapid 

increases in demand appear to be maturing. However, forecasts show continued growth in the global 

economy, and oil is predicted to remain the world’s most significant energy source. 

GCC suppliers can expect to benefit from this growth as the balance between supply and demand in the 

oil market stabilises. The development of highcost petroleum resources in other regions, such as shale 

oil, is likely to be remain more subdued as investors question their longterm viability. 

“The regional NOCs have the most stable and the most costeffective oil fields in the world, and recent 

market trends have reinforced their value,” Mr Talib said. “The Arabian Gulf has extensive, proven 

reserves, supported by existing infrastructure. We will continue to be the leading region for upstream and 

downstream hydrocarbon supply chain, and forums such as these help to further improve our cost 

effectiveness and efficiency. This region is the world leader and we must ensure that we continue to stay 

ahead of the game and continue to develop and innovate.”

• More than 100 Exhibitors, 15,000 Experts, and 250 Delegates set to attend 

Region’s Largest Waterfront Showcase for the Offshore Sector. 

• First‐of‐its‐Kind Offshore Services Provider in the Region, Emirates Maritime Arbitration Centre, to 

Lead Discussion on Resolving Nautical Disputes. 

Six state-of-the-art offshore vessels will star at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and 

Conference (ADIPEC), organisers have revealed, adding that visitors will have an opportunity to go 

on educational tours of the impressive fleet. 

Building on the extraordinary success of last year’s inaugural edition, the Offshore, Marine and Heavy 

Equipment Zone is back for an encore, spanning 4,500 square metres of space and a purpose-built 

quayside exhibition and conference theatre at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre 

(ADNEC). The dedicated zone will feature a display of everything from rigs, vessels, ship building, 

and subsea drilling equipment, to certification, pipelines, mooring, and tools for reservoir production 

and mapping. 

Visitors will have an opportunity to climb aboard six sophisticated offshore vessels, from high-speed 

craft and landing craft, to tugboats and platform supply vessels reaching 70 metres in length, 

providing real insight into not only how equipment fares in situ, but also offering a more practical 

understanding of the issues faced by marine craft and offshore equipment operators.

Taking place at a purpose-built waterside theatre, the ADIPEC 2016 Offshore and Marine Conference 

will be led by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The forum will feature a series of CEO 

Sessions, Plenary Sessions, as well as Technical Sessions, bringing a host of world-leading experts 

to discuss critical industry issues. 

Topics will cover the latest developments in offshore production, as well as a dedicated session on 

the role of the first-of-its-kind entity for the region — the Emirates Maritime Arbitration Centre. 

“Settling offshore disputes quickly and efficiently is critical to the seamless operation of the offshore 

sector, which is already a very complex field,” said Mr. Majid Bin Bashir, Vice-Chairman and Secretary 

General of EMAC. “The UAE is making great strides in becoming one of the world’s leading global 

maritime centres, and central to this is adopting strategies that will fast-track decision making and 

resolve issues at the most critical of times. ADIPEC gives us the exceptional opportunity to outline our 

valuable role to all stakeholders in the industry.” 

Confirmed speakers in the Offshore and Marine Conference also include Yaser Saeed Al Mazrouei, 

CEO of the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO), and Hamad Al Maghrabi, General 

Manager of Abu Dhabi Marine Services (Safeen).

Gulf oil sector needs strategic cost transformation: Global Expert 


Gulf Oil Sector Needs Strategic Cost 

Transformation: Global Expert

According to Richard Forrest, the instability in global oil price offers difficulty for businesses in the

The petroleum industry in the Middle East needs to take a strategic approach to cost transformation 

to maintain a competitive place in the challenging oil economy, says global management consulting 

firm A.T. Kearney. 

According to Richard Forrest, Global Lead Partner of A.T. Kearney’s Energy and Process 

Industries Practice, the instability in global oil price offers difficulty for businesses in the region to 

make a ‘step change’ in their operating models. 

http://naradanews.com/2016/10/gulf-oil-sector-needs-strategic-cost-transformation-global-expert/

Gulf oil sector needs strategic cost transformation: Global Expert 


Considering the present market condition, the oil price outlook requires a structural response from 

both national and international oil companies, Forrest said while addressing a networking event 

held exclusively for members of the Middle East Petroleum Club (MEPC). 

Forrest said: “The current oil price outlook requires all companies to take a hard look at costs. Oil 

companies need to prepare for a future with continued market uncertainty – it requires a structural 

change from across the industry. Strategic cost transformation goes beyond today’s traditional 

response of delaying projects and renegotiating with suppliers.” 

He also indicated that the North American shale companies were among the first to respond to the 

new environment affected by fluctuating oil prices. Some in the industry have managed to reduce 

upstream costs by more than 50 percent in the previous years. 

“We are at a critical point in time where oil companies globally need to reflect and act on the oil 

market outlook. Industry leaders will look to implement the next wave of comprehensive strategic 

cost transformation,” he said. 

Forrest said companies will now be considering how to optimise their portfolio, reduce costs across 

the value chain, reshape their operating models, and explore how best to leverage the abundance of 

M&A opportunities in the market. 

MPEC is oil and gas industry membership club initiated by the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC).

Adipec Preview 2016 

ADIPEC PREVIEW 2016 

Growing in size, scale 

Abu Dhabi is quickly becoming one of the world’s most influential energy hubs 

for the 21st century, and Adipec’s strategic location in the UAE capital further 

bolsters the event as the global meeting place for oil and gas professionals 

The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) continues 

to expand in size and scale as new features are introduced to meet the industry’s 

evolving requirements, and as the event consolidates its position as the world’s 

premier meeting place for oil and gas knowledge and information. 

Adipec ... growing in popularity 

"We are expecting the participation of more than 2,000 exhibiting companies, 700 

speakers, and over 100,000 trade professionals from 125 countries. This would be a 

considerable growth from the more than 94,000 visitors who attended last year," Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, CEO of Al Yasat Petroleum Operations 

Company and Adipec 2016 chairman, tells OGN in an exclusive interview. 

The event, which takes place from November 7 to 10 at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, is already at full capacity, covering 130,000 gross 

square metres of floor space. "We are expecting the participation of 15 national oil companies, including Saudi Aramco, Qatar Petroleum, the 

Kuwait Oil Company, and the Chinese National Petroleum Corporation, as well as 16 international oil companies, including ExxonMobil, Total, BP, 

and Shell. 

"We will also host 25 international pavilions this year, including major oil producing countries, such as the US, Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia, as 

well as emerging markets, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Spain," he adds. 

Excerpts from the interview: 

As the world’s leading oil and gas exhibition, how will Adipec 2016 be different compared to its previous editions? In its 32nd year, what 

new features and initiatives have been added to the show? 

We are expecting the participation of more than 2,000 exhibiting companies, 700 speakers, and over 100,000 trade professionals from 125 

countries. This would be a considerable growth from the more than 94,000 visitors who attended last year. 

New to Adipec this year is the inaugural Adipec ‘Security in Energy’ Conference, bringing the best and brightest minds in cybersecurity and critical 

infrastructure under one roof to address the evergrowing challenges in today’s increasingly interconnected energy landscape. 

Adipec’s hallmark features will also return this year, including the Conference Programme, which will see more than 700 speakers share their 

industry knowledge and expertise across more than 160 conference sessions, including 2 Ministerial Sessions, 3 Global Business Leader 

Sessions, 8 Panel Sessions, 8 Offshore & Marine Sessions, 8 Women in Energy Sessions, and 106 Technical Sessions. 

https://www.oilandgasnewsworldwide.com/Article/42165/Growing_in_size,_scale 1/2


Confirmed headline speakers for the Opening Ceremony and Global Business Leader sessions include Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State 

and CEO of the Adnoc Group of Companies; Rex W Tillerson, chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil Corporation, Patrick Pouyanné, chairman and 

CEO of Total; Bob Dudley, CEO of BP; Alexander Medvedev, deputy chairman, Management Committee, Gazprom; Vicki A Hollub, president and 

CEO of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation; Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, president and CEO, Qatar Petroleum; Claudio Descalzi, CEO, Eni; and 

Mario Mehren, chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, Wintershall. 

The exclusive VIP Programme is also back stronger than ever, inviting industry officials and decision makers to engage in open dialogue with 

members of the prestigious Middle East Petroleum Club (MEPC), the definitive networking and knowledgeexchange platform for senior oil and gas 

executives. Headlining this year’s programme is Mohammed Barkindo, Opec Secretary General, who will be providing insights on the world outlook 

for oil. 

Driving efficiency in the energy sector is the cornerstone of Adipec 2016. Can 

you reflect on this and how the region is faring with respect to energy 

efficiency? 

Achieving operational efficiency has become a priority for every producer and 

service provider in the industry as organisations recognise that streamlining 

business activities to be cost efficient is fundamental to creating a resilient 

corporate infrastructure for the future. This is precisely what inspired our theme for 

Adipec this year, ‘Strategies for the New Energy Landscape’. 

Although the region has made great strides in terms of adopting tools and 

strategies that promote efficiency, there is still considerable untapped potential for 

cost transformation across the supply chain. Knowledgeexchange, as well as 

continuous developments in research, technology, and innovation will not only help 

futureproof the industry from ongoing market fluctuations, but also align it with the 

evolving global energy mix. 

Al Shamsi ... Adipec continues to expand 

What tangible benefits do the UAE and Abu Dhabi hope to achieve by organising Adipec year after year? What benefits does the Adipec 

Conference Programme bring to the global oil and gas dialogue? 

The oil and gas industry is currently going through a transformation, and having access to real ontheground intelligence and worldleading 

expertise is critical to remaining competitive in today’s market. According to ExxonMobil’s report ‘The Outlook for Energy: The View to 2040’, 

global demand for energy is expected to rise by 25 per cent between 2014 and 2040, with fossil fuels still serving the majority of the world’s energy 

needs. According to the same report, 40 per cent of this growth in global energy demand is projected to be met by natural gas. 

By supporting Adipec year after year, we are offering petroleum industry experts, business leaders, and decision makers a common platform 

where they can come together and engage in productive discussions that will enable them to survive and thrive in this new energy landscape.Abu 

Dhabi is quickly becoming one of the world’s most influential energy hubs for the 21st century, and Adipec’s strategic location in the UAE capital 

further bolsters the event as the global meeting place for oil and gas professionals. 

Adipec’s Technical Conference has seen phenomenal growth over the years. What will be the hallmarks of the Technical Conference 

Programme this year? 

Our distinguished Adipec Technical Conference Programme has broken industry records yet again, having received 2,775 abstract submissions 

from 571 organisations across 71 countries, building on the success of last year’s call for papers, which received 1,806 abstracts. This makes 

Adipec officially host to the world’s largest technical conference for the oil and gas industry. This year, the number of sessions have increased by 

onethird compared to last year – further cementing Adipec’s position as the premier event for technical knowledge in the industry. 

Now in its fourth year, what has been the response to the Young Adipec initiative? 

We are delighted to announce that this year we have partnered with the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) for Young Adipec, marking a first 

time cooperation for the common goal of cultivating tomorrow’s generation of homegrown energy leaders.The response so far has been 

phenomenal.

‘ME petroleum industry in need of Strategic Cost 

Transformation’ 

MANAGEMENT CONSULTING FIRM A.T. KEARNEY TO SHARE IMPORTANT REGIONAL INSIGHTS AND GLOBAL OUTLOOK AT 


The Middle East petroleum industry must take a strategic approach to cost transformation in order to maintain a competitive place in 

today’s challenging oil economy, according to global management consulting firm A.T. Kearney. 

Fluctuating oil prices have made it critical for businesses to make a ‘step change’ in their operating models to remain agile and 

resilient amid ongoing market variability, said Richard Forrest, Global Lead Partner of A.T. Kearney’s Energy and Process Industries 

Practice. 

Speaking at a recent Al Multaqa networking event held exclusively for members of the Middle East Petroleum Club (MEPC), a 

prestigious oil and gas industry membership club initiated by the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference 

(ADIPEC), Forrest said the oil price outlook requires a structural response from both national and international oil companies. 

“The current oil price outlook requires all companies to take a hard look at costs. Oil companies need to prepare for a future with 

continued market uncertainty – it requires a structural change from across the industry,” said Forrest, who will also be speaking at 

ADIPEC in November. “Strategic cost transformation goes beyond today’s traditional response of delaying projects and 

renegotiating with suppliers.” 

North American shale companies have been among the first to respond to this new market environment. With bold ambitions and 

new innovative thinking some players have managed to drastically cut upstream costs by more than 50 percent in the past couple of 

years. 

“We are at a critical point in time where oil companies globally need to reflect and act on the oil market outlook,” said Forrest. 

“Industry leaders will look to implement the next wave of comprehensive strategic cost transformation. They will consider how to 

optimise their portfolio, reduce costs across the value chain collaborating with suppliers and other operators, reshape their operating 

models, and explore how best to leverage the abundance of M&A opportunities in the market.” 

Forrest will share his insights during a panel discussion on operational excellence at ADIPEC’s exclusive VIP Programme, which 

invites industry officials, experts, and decision makers to engage in open dialogue with MEPC members in the controlled privacy of 

the club. 



The annual four-day event will take place from 7-10 November 2016 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.

Foreign and national oil firms descend on Abu Dhabi 

1 November, 2016 Sarmad Khan 

Top executives will be keen to hear from UAE energy minister ahead of Opec Vienna meeting 

The who’s who of global oil majors and top executives of national oil companies (NOCs) from the 

Middle East and North Africa region will be congregating in the UAE next week to attend the Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition (Adipec). 

Two sessions in particular are bound to grab a lot of attention, when the energy minister of Opec 

member UAE, Suhail Mohamed alMazrouei, takes the stage with nonOpec members Bahrain and 

Egypt on 7 and 8 November. The audience will be hoping for some guidance from the policymakers 

ahead of an allimportant Opec meeting that will determine whether the oil cartel will be able to 

implement its first cut in output in eight years. 

The 14member group will gather in Vienna later this month and try to convince nonOpec producers, 

including Russia, to also cut production. However, an accord at the meeting is becoming increasingly 

unlikely, according to the US’ Goldman Sachs, which has warned a failure to seal a deal could push 

crude prices to below $45 abarrel. 

Goldman Sachs believes that even if Opec hammers out a deal, the probability of it successfully 

reducing inventories is low. Rising output in October from member states and a faster rampup of new 

nonOpec production have reduced the likelihood that an agreement will translate into a reduction in 

inventories during the first half of 2017, the bank said, adding that average Opec output was about 34.2 

million barrels a day last month. 

“The lack of progress on implementing production quotas and the growing discord between Opec 

producers suggest a declining probability of reaching a deal on 30 November,” media reports 

cited Goldman Sachs analysts as saying in a note.

11/9/2016 Foreign and national oil firms descend on Abu Dhabi | Commentary | MEED 

However, Opec approved a document on 31 October outlining its longterm strategy, a sign that its 

members are coming closer to achieving consensus on managing production. Brent crude recovered 

some of the losses on 1 November after falling below $50 a barrel on 31 October after talks failed to 

yield concrete details on an accord. 

Opec officials, however, are saying the organisation and other major oil producers are “on course” to 

reach an agreement that will temper the global oversupply. 

All Opec members and rivals such as Russia are committed to finalising the agreement, the group’s 

secretarygeneral Mohammed Barkindo was reported as saying in an interview with the US’ Bloomberg. 

Even Iraq, which has demanded an exemption from supply caps and has vowed to increase production, 

is willing to play its part, Barkindo said. However, other reports have said Opec as a group is still 

fractured, with Iran, an arch rival of the group’s biggest producer Saudi Arabia, even declining to 

commit to an output freeze. 

With so many conflicting reports flying around, no one can say with certainty what the outcome of the 

meeting will be and how many twists and turns will take place before the energy ministers head into a

Oil industry chiefs to discuss new landscape 


ABU DHABI: Twenty of the world’s leading oil industry chief executives will gather, in Abu Dhabi, on November 6, to discuss the 

new energy landscape and different models for partnerships across the industry. 

The senior executives, representing the world’s biggest oil companies from across the globe, have been invited to the Abu Dhabi 

CEO Roundtable by Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and ADNOC Group CEO. The roundtable will provide a high 

level forum for dialogue regarding the current economic environment facing the energy industry. Dr Al Jaber said: “The energy 

industry is evolving. Lower oil prices have placed an increased priority on resilience and efficiency and companies in the industry 

are independently searching for sustainable strategies in this new energy landscape. 

“We are entering a time where societal, technological, and political trends are reshaping the environment in which oil companies 

operate. The Abu Dhabi CEO Roundtable will provide a timely opportunity for key industry leaders to openly discuss important 

issues, including potential areas of partnership to advance the industry.” Among those attending the CEO Roundtable will be: Bob 

Dudley, Group CEO of BP; Rex Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corporation; Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of 

Total; Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, President and CEO of Qatar Petroleum; Claudio Descalzi, CEO of ENI; Vicki A Hollub, President and 

CEO of Occidental; Ben van Beurden, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell; Eldar Saetre, President and Chief Executive Officer of Statoil; Amin 

H. AlNasser, CEO of Saudi Aramco; Musabbeh Al Kaabi, CEO of Mubadala Petroleum.

Sultan Al Jaber, the chief executive of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company 

(Adnoc), will host closed-door talks with the heads of some of the world’s top 

oil companies ahead of this year’s Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), which opens tomorrow. 

Adnoc said Mr Al Jaber, who is the Minister of State as well as the head of 

the state oil company, will hold roundtable discussions with chiefs of 20 top 

oil companies, including Bob Dudley, the chief executive of BP, Rex 

Tillerson, ExxonMobil’s chief, and Patrick Pouyanne, the head of the French 

major Total. 

Amin Al Nasser, the chief of Saudi Aramco, Nizar Al Adsani, the head of 

Kuwait Petroleum and Saad Al Kaabi, head of Qatar Petroleum, will also 

attend. 

The Adipec gathering, which is one of the top two annual meetings in the 

industry’s calendar, has taken on added significance this year as ministers 

and top executives meet amid a round of tough negotiations aimed at 

agreeing some kind of output restraint by producers both within and outside

Opec, the result of which will have widespread implications for the industry 

as a whole. 

Opec ministers are due to meet formally on November 30 in Vienna to 

finalise terms, which have proved difficult to pin down as Iran and a number 

of other members claim special circumstances and refuse to contribute to 

any curbs. Also, there has never before been a credible deal between Opec 

and major non-Opec members, especially Russia, which has voiced support 

but still pumped oil at a post-Soviet era record last month. 

The worry among the top oil companies is that their unprecedented cut in 

investment in response to the oil price slump may ultimately lead to a 

shortage in a couple of years and a resumption of the boom-bust-boom 

industry cycle. 

"We are entering a time where societal, technological and political trends are 

reshaping the environment in which oil companies operate," Mr Al Jaber 

said. 

The Abu Dhabi summit "will provide a timely opportunity for key industry 

leaders to openly discuss important issues, including potential areas of 

partnership to advance the industry", he said. 

A key item for the talks, which will be chaired by Daniel Yergin, the vice 

chairman of the IHS Markit consultancy, will be what form partnerships 

between the international oil companies and national oil companies should 

take, with Adnoc looking to its US$10 billion Al Hosn project as a model, 

where it partnered with Occidental Petroleum to commercially exploit difficult 

sour (high sulphur) gas using new technologies. 

Occidental’s new chief executive, Vicki Hollub, will take part, as well as Ben 

van Beurden, the head of Royal Dutch Shell, Claudio Descalzi, the head of 

Eni of Italy, and chiefs of a number of key partner companies for Adnoc, 

including Schlumberger, Inpex of Japan, Korea National Oil Corporation, 

Statoil of Norway, Indian Oil Corporation and a number of Adnoc 

subsidiaries and affiliates, such as OMV of Austria and Cepsa of Spain. 

The International Energy Agency (IEA), the rich countries’ energy watchdog, 

in September said oil industry investment looks set to drop sharply for the 

third year in a row, with oil discoveries at their lowest level since the late 

1940s. 

The IEA estimated capital investment in oil and gas projects would drop by 

24 per cent this year, to $450 billion, following a 25 per cent drop last year. 

Investment will have fallen by more than $300bn in the past two years after 

the oil price collapsed from nearly $120 a barrel to current levels of about 

$50 a barrel, and it shows no sign of recovering next year, the agency said. 

"Lower oil prices have placed an increased priority on resilience and 

efficiency and companies in the industry are independently searching for 

sustainable strategies in this new energy landscape," Mr Al Jaber said.

Adipec to get underway as oil prices 

remain low 

Heads of some of the world’s top oil companies to take part in the 

four-day event 

Published: 17:11 November 6, 2016 

Fareed Rahman, Senior Reporter 

Abu Dhabi: Heads of some of the world’s top oil companies will gather in Abu Dhabi as part of Abu 

Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) that will kick off on Monday. 

Among the top executives who will attend the four-day conference include Dr Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of 

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) group, Rex W. Tillerson, chairman and Chief Executive 

Officer of Exxon Mobil Corporation, Bob Dudley, group chief executive of BP, Patrick Pouyanne, 

Chairman and CEO, Total. 

Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, Sa’ad Sherida Al Kaabi, president and CEO of Qatar petroleum, Vicki 

A Hollub, president and CEO of Occidental Petroleum and Mohammad Barkindo, Secretary General 

of Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) will also be present during the event. 

The conference takes place as oil prices remain low and doubts persist as to whether Opec will be 

able to implement a promised deal to cut production and ease global supplies. 

Opec agreed on September 28 in Algeria to reduce output to a range of 32.5 million to 33 million 

barrels a day and decide how much each member should cut by its next meeting on November 30 in 

Vienna. 

The agreement helped push oil prices to a fifteenth month high of about $50 a barrel in October 

although they have subsequently fallen amid doubts the group will follow through in its pledge as 

some member countries seek exemption and Saudi Arabia and Iran rivalry resurface on cutting 

production. 

“The chances of completing a successful deal have decreased substantially since the announcement 

in late September. It all will depend on whether the threat of lower prices reduces dissent before the 

technical meetings, in a couple of weeks,” Francisco Quintana, Head of Strategy at Foresight 

Advisors, told Gulf News. 

Global benchmark 

He said Opec members are too far apart in their positions, too many countries consider there are 

legitimate reasons for them to be exempted of a production cap.

Brent, the global benchmark is currently trading at around $46 (Dh169) per barrel, down by about 

1.66 per cent. 

Even if there is a cut at the next Opec meeting in Vienna, oil prices are not expected to move up 

much due to oversupply in the market. 

“Our 45 to low 50s preferred range for the current quarter could be raised by up towards $5 if we see 

a major cut,” said Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank. 

But it will take several months where global supplies are being reduced before Opec will be able to 

see a return to its $55 to $60 preferred range, Hansen added. 

There will be a discussion on world oil outlook during the conference with the participation of some of 

the top CEOs of oil and gas companies.

The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition 

and Conference (ADIPEC) 2016 opens today brining 

thousands of oil and gas professionals, industry 

leaders, and decision makers to the world’s most 

influential oil and gas event. 

The event held under the theme ‘Strategies for the 

New Energy Landscape’, the event span 130,000 

gross square metres of floor space, including a 

dedicated quayside exhibition area with live tours of 

offshore vessels, ADIPEC 2016 celebrates its 19th 

edition with the largest event to date. It will bring together more than 2,000 exhibiting companies, 25 country 

pavilions, 700 speakers, 8,500 delegates, and 100,000 trade professionals from more than 125 countries. 

Hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and organised by dmg events, ADIPEC will start 

today with the official Opening Ceremony, which includes keynote presentations by H.E. Suhail Mohamed Al 

Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy, H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and ADNOC 

Group CEO, H.E. Mohammed Barkindo, OPEC Secretary General, and Rex W. Tillerson, Chairman and CEO 


Christopher Hudson, President – dmg events, Global Energy, said: “This annual gathering of international 

industry stakeholders not only serves as a catalyst for shaping energy policy, but also as a powerhouse for 

generating business. By bringing thought leaders, innovators, and policy makers under one roof, ADIPEC acts 

as an enabler of industry excellence.” 

The fastchanging energy landscape makes it critical for the world’s energy companies to optimise operational 

efficiency, maximise asset value, and enhance performance, if they are to remain resilient and keep their 

competitive edge. 

Developments in technology and innovation, and the evolving energy supply mix, are leading international and 

national oil companies to rethink how they operate, according to global energy leaders, who will gather at 

ADIPEC 2016 over the next four days. 

Meanwhile, the UAE Ministry of Energy is looking to align its strategy with the evolving global supply mix. 

This strategy includes boosting natural gas production to meet growing domestic demand. 

“We are committed to being a reliable world supplier of hydrocarbons, but we also recognise that the industry 

is going through a transformation,” said H.E. Suhail Mohammad Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of 

Energy and a key speaker in ADIPEC’s Ministerial Sessions. 

“Research, technology, and innovation are critical to enhancing efficiencies across the supply chain. We must 

embrace the new energy landscape by cultivating tomorrow’s generation of home grown energy professionals, 

deploying best practice, forging new relationships, and making strategic investments that will drive industry 

growth and progress. Only then can we truly pave the way to a sustainable energy future," he added.

Adnoc to host oil chiefs talks ahead of Adipec 

Adnoc to host oil chiefs 

talks ahead of Adipec 



The annual gathering, highlight of industry calendar, takes on added 

significance before Opec’s meeting later this month 

Sultan Al Jaber, the chief executive of the Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company (Adnoc), will host closeddoor talks with the heads of some of 

the world’s top oil companies ahead of this year’s Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), which 

opens tomorrow. 

Adnoc said Mr Al Jaber, who is the Minister of State as well as the head 

of the state oil company, will hold roundtable discussions with chiefs of 

20 top oil companies, including Bob Dudley, the chief executive of BP, 

Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil’s chief, and Patrick Pouyanne, the head of 

the French major Total. 

Amin Al Nasser, the chief of Saudi Aramco, Nizar Al Adsani, the head 

of Kuwait Petroleum and Saad Al Kaabi, head of Qatar Petroleum, will 

also attend. 

The Adipec gathering, which is one of the top two annual meetings in 

the industry’s calendar, has taken on added significance this year as 

ministers and top executives meet amid a round of tough negotiations 

aimed at agreeing some kind of output restraint by producers both within 

and outside Opec, the result of which will have widespread implications 

for the industry as a whole. 

Opec ministers are due to meet formally on November 30 in Vienna to 

finalise terms, which have proved difficult to pin down as Iran and a 

number of other members claim special circumstances and refuse to 

contribute to any curbs. Also, there has never before been a credible 

deal between Opec and major nonOpec members, especially Russia, 

which has voiced support but still pumped oil at a postSoviet era record 

last month.

11/6/2016 Adnoc to host oil chiefs talks ahead of Adipec UAE Business Directory TotalUAE.com 

The worry among the top oil companies is that their unprecedented cut 

in investment in response to the oil price slump may ultimately lead to a 

shortage in a couple of years and a resumption of the boombustboom 

industry cycle. 

"We are entering a time where societal, technological and political trends 

are reshaping the environment in which oil companies operate," Mr Al 

Jaber said. 

The Abu Dhabi summit "will provide a timely opportunity for key industry 

leaders to openly discuss important issues, including potential areas of 

partnership to advance the industry", he said. 

A key item for the talks, which will be chaired by Daniel Yergin, the vice 

chairman of the IHS Markit consultancy, will be what form partnerships 

between the international oil companies and national oil companies 

should take, with Adnoc looking to its US$10 billion Al Hosn project as a 

model, where it partnered with Occidental Petroleum to commercially 

exploit difficult sour (high sulphur) gas using new technologies. 

Occidental’s new chief executive, Vicki Hollub, will take part, as well as 

Ben van Beurden, the head of Royal Dutch Shell, Claudio Descalzi, the 

head of Eni of Italy, and chiefs of a number of key partner companies 

for Adnoc, including Schlumberger, Inpex of Japan, Korea National Oil 

Corporation, Statoil of Norway, Indian Oil Corporation and a number of 

Adnoc subsidiaries and affiliates, such as OMV of Austria and Cepsa of 

Spain. 

The International Energy Agency (IEA), the rich countries’ energy 

watchdog, in September said oil industry investment looks set to drop 

sharply for the third year in a row, with oil discoveries at their lowest 

level since the late 1940s. 

The IEA estimated capital investment in oil and gas projects would drop 

by 24 per cent this year, to $450 billion, following a 25 per cent drop last 

year. 

Investment will have fallen by more than $300bn in the past two years 

after the oil price collapsed from nearly $120 a barrel to current levels of 

about $50 a barrel, and it shows no sign of recovering next year, the 

agency said. 

"Lower oil prices have placed an increased priority on resilience and 

efficiency and companies in the industry are independently searching for 

sustainable strategies in this new energy landscape," Mr Al Jaber said.

OPEC Chief Says Russia ‘on Board’ With Deal to Limit Oil Output - Bloomberg 


OPEC Chief Says Russia ‘on Board’ With Deal to 

Limit Oil Output 

Sam Wilkin

Russia, the world’s biggest energy producer, is “on board” with an OPEC agreement to limit crude oil production to help re-balance the 

market, according to the group’s Secretary- General Mohammed Barkindo. 

Members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries remain committed to an agreement they reached in Algiers in 

September to trim output, and cooperation from non-OPEC producers will help bring the oil market back into balance, Barkindo told 

reporters at an energy conference in Abu Dhabi. Russia is due to join OPEC for talks later this month in Vienna, where the group will 

convene for its bi-annual meeting. 

“We as OPEC remain committed to the Algiers accord,” Barkindo said Monday. “I have heard from the highest quarters in Moscow 

that Russia is on board.” 

OPEC, which pumps about 40 percent of the world’s oil, is trying to persuade producers from outside the group, such as Russia, to join 

the cuts. The organization’s members want to put the changes into effect when they meet in Vienna on Nov. 30. The group has held 

talks over the past weeks with producer nations Russia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Kazakhstan and Mexico. 

Outside OPEC 

Producers from outside OPEC need to join the group in cutting output, Eni SpA CEO Claudio Descalzi said in a Bloomberg TV 

interview from Abu Dhabi. “OPEC alone is not enough,” he said. 

Russia, the world’s largest energy producer, pumped at a post-Soviet record of 11.2 million barrels a day last month. With new fields 

ramping up production and more due to start producing before year-end, its output may climb further. Energy Minister Alexander 

Novak indicated that Russia was willing to freeze production for six months or more, rather than cut, and only if OPEC reached an 

agreement first. 

The Algiers accord helped push oil prices to a 15-month high above $50 a barrel, but crude has subsequently fallen as several OPEC 

states disputed production estimates that would determine the size of cuts by individual members of the group. Benchmark Brent crude 

was 0.7 percent higher at $45.89 a barrel on Monday at 3:08 p.m. in London. 

OPEC’s internal disagreements have also prevented a deal so far to secure the cooperation of other major suppliers after rounds of talks 

in Vienna. The producers will meet again later this month in Vienna. 

Without a deal, OPEC will return to the policy of pumping without limits to secure sales, author and energy consultant Daniel Yergin 

said in an interview at the conference. OPEC members Iraq and Iran represent a “sticking point” that needs a resolution if there is to be 

agreement to limit production, he said. Both countries have asked to be exempt from any production cuts. “If there isn’t an agreement, 

it’s back to battle for market share.”

Opec committed to cooperation among 

oil producers, Barkindo says 

Al Mazroui says oil prices have reached bottom of cycle 


Sarah Gamal, Staff Reporter 

Abu Dhabi: The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) will continue to 

hold meetings in the coming days and weeks between its member countries and other 

non-Opec oil producers, according to Opec's secretary general, Mohammed Barkindo. 

Speaking on Monday in Abu Dhabi, Barkindo said it was "vital" that Opec and non-Opec 

members cooperate and consult in order to rebalance the oil market. 

His statement comes after Opec committed at a meeting in Algiers in late September to 

cut oil production to around 32.5 million barrels per day. 

During his speech on Monday, Barkindo highlighted challenges in the energy industry 

over 2015 and 2016, saying that investments in energy have been on the decline. The 

secretary general said investments dropped by 25 per cent in 2015 and by 22 per cent in 


The combined drop in both years is valued at well over $300 billion. Barkindo pointed 

that there has never been a three-year consecutive decline in history, and this led Opec 

to what he called a "landmark agreement" in Algiers in September. 

His speech came during the opening ceremony of Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (Adipec). 

Also speaking at the event was Suhail Al Mazroui, the UAE'S Minister of Energy, who 

said oil prices have reached the bottom of the cycle. 

Oil prices have more than halved since summer 2014 when they fell from their $115 

highs to just below $50 this quarter. 

Adipec runs until Thursday at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.

Adipec 2016: Oil giants swear by cost 

cuttingSHARE 

Leaders emphasise the need to be efficient and optimally utilise oil resources 

The top business leaders of the world got together to share their views on the world oil outlook and 

each one pointed out the need to be efficient. 

Top honchos of BP, Eni, Exxon, Total and Qatar Petroleum held deliberations as the 19th Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference started on Monday. 

BP group chief executive Bob Dudley focused on the need to cut costs. "Geo‐political risks to the 

world are high and challenges are increasing in many parts of the world. Oil prices remain lower 

despite the fundamental of supply and demand being in the point of balance. There is a continuous 

effort to cut capital costs. We have to be competitive in price and it will put a premium on efficiency." 

Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said the centre of gravity has shifted. "We have structural changes. Energy 

demand is growing. Gas and oil are the future but we have to be ready to face a different 

environment. We have to make big investments. The engine of growth is no more there. The centre 

of gravity is no more where it used to be." 

Exxon Mobil president Darren W. Woods said the need of the hour was greater cooperation among 

all countries. "Going forward, we are going to see markets moderate. For success in this industry, we

have to be prepared for a longer price environment. We need to have lower cost of supply. We can 

do that by leveraging technology. We need greater cooperation between oil‐producing and 

consuming nations and policy makers too." 

Qatar Petroleum president and CEO Saad Sherida Al Kaabi said there is no need to interfere in the 

market and called for patience. 

"We are in a very difficult market. For the last two years, we are optimising and trying to be as 

efficient as we can. Economies have gone into recession. But despite this, the oil industry is doing 

well because we are resilient. We have to be patient and not interfere with the markets. We should 

let market forces work their way but at the same time invest heavily. People should remain calm and 

reduce operating costs." 

Total CEO and chairman Patrick Pouyanne highlighted the need to focus on bringing reliable, 

affordable and clean energy. 

"We have two ways in the energy business ‐ short‐term and long‐term. Till last year, with the 

average oil price at $55 and above, people were complaining but this year with an average of $45 

and moving to $50, we seem to be happy. In each difficulty, we need to see the positives. We need to 

be more efficient and resilient from here on. In the longer term, we need to bring reliable, affordable 

and clean energy to the world."

Adipec 2016: Global oil glut almost 

gone, says UAE energy minister 

Mazroui 

Filed on November 7, 2016 

Industry leaders at Adipec say the international oil market has hit bottom 

The UAE's Energy Minister Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Al Mazroui on Monday said the global oil 

supply glut was almost gone. 

Addressing the 19th Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) in Abu 

Dhabi, Al Mazroui insisted the oil prices would begin to rise again, though he acknowledged it "has 

been a bit long." "The glut is almost gone ... I think we are at the bottom of this cycle..." 

Industry leaders at the conference said the international oil market has hit bottom, though how long 

it will stay there remains in question. They said oil producers would love to see higher prices, but the 

Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) so far has been unable to cut output. 

"What concerns you and us [is] that we need to continue investing in this industry... to ensure we 

don't see a huge spike three to four years from now," Al Mazroui said. 

"We are not greedy," he said. "We need some sort of stability in the price level." 

Oman's Minister of Oil and Gas Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhi said "common sense has prevailed 

slowly in Opec." However, he warned that all were "living in a dangerous place" with some countries' 

assumptions and production increases. 

"We are playing with fire here," he said. "Economies can be destroyed." "We're in the bottom," he

added. "What we don't know is how long that bottom is going to last." 

Russia on board 

The Opec secretary‐general, Mohammed Barkindo, said consultations between Opec and non‐Opec 

producers would continue in coming days and weeks, and he believed it was vital that producers in 

both camps came together. 

"Coordination between members of oil‐exporting group Opec and non‐member producers is vital to 

rebalance the market," Barkindo said. 

Opec pledged after a meeting in Algiers on September 29 to cut production for the first time in eight 

years on the back of a sustained depression in global prices. 

"The agreement underlined the organisation's commitment to sustainability of oil markets," 

Barkindo said. 

Speaking on the sidelines of the forum, Barkindo said major non‐Opec exporter Russia is "on board" 

with the group's agreement to limit production, according to Bloomberg. ‐ Agencies

Adipec 2016: Opec warns against investment 

cutbacks 

There has never been a consecutive three‐year decline in investments in the 

history of the oil industry 

The oil market is in turmoil and has been so a bit long, said world leaders who put on a brave face at 

the opening ceremony of the 19th Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference 

(Adipec), which was inaugurated by Shaikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chief of the Abu Dhabi 

Crown Prince's Court. 

Opec secretary‐general Mohammad Barkindo said the importance of such an event cannot be overestimated. 

He noted that all stakeholders should maintain dialogue. 

The Opec top executive also issued a caveat. "If the market and financial conditions do not improve, 

there is the distinct possibility that we could see a third year of investment cutbacks. To put this into 

the oil industry's context, there has never been a consecutive three‐year decline in its history." 

Despite challenges, Barkindo struck an optimistic note. "The current oil market is a challenging 

environment. The best way forward is for all industry stakeholders to continually maintain dialogue 

and work towards achieving more stability for our industry. This will help us deliver a sustainable 

energy future for all producers and consumers," he said.

Speaking at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec) in Abu Dhabi 

on 7 November, AlMazroui said there was more optimism in the market than at the same time last 

year. 

“The glut is almost gone from where it was one year ago, and this is a positive thing for us to think 

about. I think we are at the bottom of this cycle,” said the minister. 

AlMazroui urged the global oil sector to continue to invest in exploration and production in order to 

avoid price spikes and instability in the coming years. 

“Abu Dhabi will continue to invest in the resource, but in a smart way. We need to optimise the refining 

cost and production cost of every barrel we produce,” he said. 

Abu Dhabi is aiming to increase crude production by 400,000 barrels a day (b/d) to 3.5 million b/d by 

2018, from the current official output of about 3.1 million b/d.

Timely action needed to rebalance oil markets 

7 November, 2016 By Sarmad Khan 

Rebalance in markets is needed for “the common good of all” 

Consultation between Opec and other producers have yielded positive results 

Further highlevel discussions are scheduled for later this month 

Opec secretarygeneral says group’s members as well as other producers should work together 

More from: "Illogical competition" could hurt oil producers 

The members of oil producers’ group Opec and major producers from outside the group need to 

collaborate for “the common good of all”, according to Opec secretarygeneral Mohammad Sanusi 

Barkindo.

11/9/2016 Timely action needed to rebalance oil markets | News | MEED 

”We believe it is important that Opec and nonOpec members come together and take coordinated and 

timely action to rebalance the markets,” Barkindo told the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition 

and Conference (Adipec) in Abu Dhabi on 7 November. “Our industry works best with collaboration, 

cooperation and consultations.” 

Further highlevel consultations are scheduled later this month between major global producers to 

discuss the sustainable rebalancing of the market and Barkindo expects these discussions to yield 

positive results. 

“We at Opec have been undertaking extensive consultations over the past few months about how best 

to complement the market and balance it on a sustainable basis,” he said, in reference to the oil price 

drop, which forced Opec members to meet at Algiers, opening up the doors for the possibility of 

production cuts, the first since 2008. 

Algeria accord 

“These discussions, I must confess, were very positive and allowed us to better understand the point of 

view of all related parties,” said Barkindo. 

The Algiers accord has established a framework of continued dialogue between major oil producers. 

Opec is not only trying to find common ground for its members, especially Saudi Arabia and its archrival 

Iran, to agree to supply cuts, it is also trying to rope in nonOpec counterparts to join their efforts. 

Global crude prices have fallen by more than 50 per cent since the mid2014 peak of $115 a barrel, 

which has resulted in a dramatic drop in oil and gas investments in most parts of the world. 

Global oil and gas investment spending declined by 26 per cent in 2015 and a further 22 per cent slide 

is anticipated this year, which, put together, equate to well over $300bn, Barkindo said. 

If the market and financial conditions do not improve, there is a distinct possibility the industry will see 

investments shrink next year as well, which will be the first time in the sector’s history that investments 

have declined for three years on a trot, he added. 

“This is a major concern for an industry that needs consistent and predictable investments to maintain a 

constituent supply of oil and gas,” Barkindo said. 

Increasing demand 

The need to improve investments is also underscored by the fact that Opec’s 2016 Oil Outlook sees 

crude demand increasing from 93 million barrels a day (b/d) in 2015 to 109 million b/dy by 2040. 

Demand for natural gas will increase from close to 350 billion cubic feet a day (cf/d) in 2015 to about 

590 billion cf/d in 2040. 

Oil and gas, Barkindo said, will continue to contribute 53 per cent to the global energy mix till 2040 and 

all of this requires huge investment to not only obtain new barrels, but also to accommodate the decline 

rate from existing wells. 

Opec estimates that oilrelated investments could be close to $10 trillion in the period up to 2040 and 

from the perspective of gas it will be about $6 trillion over the same period. 

Opec members, the secretarygeneral said, are fully committed to their investments to meet the future 

requirements and Kuwait Oil Company has just informed it is committing more than $50bn in 

investments from now to 2020.

ABU DHABI The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries 

to a deal made in Algiers in September to cut output. 

(OPEC) said on Monday the group was committed 

"We as OPEC we remain committed to the Algiers accord that we... put together. All OPEC 14 we remain committed to the implementation," 

Mohammed Barkindo said in remarks to reporters at the ADIPEC conference in Abu Dhabi. 

"We have no price objectives... inshallah (God willing) with the implementation of the Algiers accord and cooperation of the non-OPEC member 

countries, the rebalancing process will be brought forward in 2017." 

OPEC officials met in Vienna last month to work out the details of the Algiers plan to reduce oil production, but failed to reach agreement. The High 

Level Committee of experts will meet again in Vienna on Nov. 25 and then meet at expert level with non-OPEC countries on Nov. 28, he said. 

OPEC ministers will meet on Nov. 30. 

"Russia is on board.. I will not disclose details," Barkindo added, when asked whether he expected the non-member country to take part in a cut or a 

freeze of production.

Adipec 2016: Dearth of energy investment could 

trigger soaring oil prices, says UAE Energy Minister 

Dania Saadi 

November 7, 2016 Updated: November 8, 2016 12:08 AM 

The UAE Minister of Energy warns that an energy-industry investment drought could trigger 

prolonged, soaring crude prices. 

Global investment in the sector, which has fallen by more than US$300 billion since last year, 

needs to grow to avoid a major price rise that could undermine market stability, officials said 

yesterday. 

Suhail Al Mazrouei, the Minister of Energy, said that the lack of investments since last year could 

lead to prolonged, soaring prices. 

The dearth of investments should be tackled by all stakeholders, countries and companies, he 

said. He was speaking at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference 

taking place in the capital. 

"It has been seen that a significant level of investment has come down since we started this 

downturn," said the minister. "For us members of Opec and many countries and companies that 

is a source of worry today. Can we catch up? Yes. It is everybody’s problem. We can’t afford to 

see a hike that stays for long." 

Global energy spending next year could fall for a third year, a precedent-setting event for the 

energy industry, the secretary general of Opec said. 

Spending on global gas and oil exploration and production fell by 26 per cent last year and is 

expected to fall by a further 22 per cent this year, said Mohammad Barkindo. The two-year fall 

would equate to a $300bn decline in investment, he said. 

"If market and financial conditions do not improve there is the distinct possibility that we will see a 

third year of investments shrinking," said Mr Barkindo. "To put this into some oil industry context, 

there has never been a consecutive three-year decline in its history." 

Nearly $10 trillion in investment is needed by 2040 to meet future oil and gas demand, he said.

Opec’s global oil outlook forecasts demand increasing to more than 109 million barrels of oil per 

day (bpd) by 2040 from 93 million bpd last year. Oil and gas will still contribute 53 per cent to the 

global energy mix by 2040, contrary to other projections. 

The investment is needed to stem a decline in existing oil and gasfields as well as in increasing 

production. 

"This is a major concern for an industry that needs regular and predictable investment to provide 

the necessary supply in the medium and long terms," said Mr Barkindo. 

While Opec is committed to controlling production, international oil companies are cutting down 

investment, endangering the sustainability of the industry. 

"We [Opec] remain unswerving in our commitment in meeting future requirement of consumers in 

a timely and sustainable manner," he said. "At the global level, however, the situation that has 

evolved over the past two years or so is putting this future at risk." 

Sultan Al Jaber, the UAE Minister of State and the chief executive of Abu Dhabi National Oil 

Company (Adnoc), said that the UAE is forging ahead with investments, diversifying its product 

range and targeting new markets, with a focus on Asia. But it is keeping an eye on costs in the 

unpredictable oil price era. 

"We will diversify our portfolio of products and open new markets to ensure long-term and 

sustained profitability," said Mr Al Jaber. 

The state-owned energy company plans to boost its oil, refining and petrochemical production 

facilities as part of a new strategy. 

Adnoc is on an efficiency drive and recently combined operations at some of its units to deal with 

the low-price environment. 

"Rules are being redefined where cost and price are the only variables regulating this market," 

said Mr Al Jaber. "While today we can’t predict the future price of oil, one factor remains well 

within our own control and that is the cost of every barrel we produce." 

As part of its efficiency plans, Adnoc will combine by the end of this year three of its shipping and 

ports services units into one. 

The state-owned energy company is also combining its two largest offshore operations, the 

Zakum Development Company (Zadco) and the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (Adma- 

Opco), which account for the bulk of Abu Dhabi’s offshore oil production.

Suhail Al Mazrouei said that falling prices of clean energy such as solar would incentivise countries to switch to 

them – and this is something gas needs to compete with. Mona Al Marzooqi / The National 

Adipec 2016: Low cost of solar may be a loss for gas 

LeAnne Graves 

November 7, 2016 Updated: November 7, 2016 08:54 PM 

As the oil and gas market looks to find its balance, the falling cost of renewables, particularly 

solar, is a potential threat to the competitive advantages of natural gas as a power source. 

The Minister of Energy, Suhail Al Mazrouei, said at Adipec that competition between 

hydrocarbons and renewables is increasing in the power-generation sector, particularly as solar 

prices continue to reach unprecedented lows. 

The minister pointed to shattered records, with solar in the UAE becoming cheaper than natural 

gas. 

Dubai will have an 800 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant built with the 

electricity-generation bid price of 2.99 US cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), while Abu Dhabi had 

bids submitted in September for its 350MW solar PV plant to produce electricity for 2.42 cents 

per kWh. These rates are on par with, or in some cases even cheaper than, the cost to generate 

electricity from natural gas. In the UAE that runs at about 7 cents per kWh. 

But these are prices for the type of solar technology that does not include a cost-effective energy 

storage solution for electricity to be fed into the grid around the clock. This is one advantage of 

natural gas. 

Mr Al Mazrouei said a commercial-scale energy storage solution could be around the corner, 

which could drive the price of solar, plus storage, down to 5 cents per kWh. "Then gas needs to 

compete with that because countries will be incentivised to go after cleaner forms of energy," he 

said. 

He referred to governments that are working to meet climate change targets, such as the Paris 

Agreement struck in December, which seeks to prevent global temperatures from rising by more 

than 2°C by reducing carbon emissions. 

Global power markets are changing. According to projections from the Energy Information 

Administration, coal will lose its dominance, from 40 per cent to 29 per cent between 2012 and 

2040, and natural gas will increase its foothold by more than 2 per cent each year, powering 28 

per cent of the world by 2040. Renewable energy will make up 29 per cent of the energy mix 

during this period.

While growth in renewables will put pressure on the industry, Mr Al Mazrouei said it meant that 

"we need to work harder and sharpen our pencils so we can compete and survive together". 

Sultan Al Jaber, the chief executive of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), said 

hydrocarbons and renewables were not adversaries but allies creating a diversified mix. "These 

factors are shaping a new energy era where the rules are being redefined," he said. 

The oil market is shaky, but Mr Al Jaber said that one factor remained within every producer’s 

control: the cost of every barrel produced. "We must define our own destiny instead of having it 

dictated," he said. "We need to break from old conventions and welcome new paradigms. By 

embracing the new energy era, we’ll thrive and set our own course and we will, without a doubt, 

define our own future."

Adipec 2016: Opec’s Barkindo says Russia ‘on 

board’ for output curbing deal 


Russia will join an output-curbing deal between Opec and non-Opec producers to help speed up 

the rebalancing of the oil market, the secretary general of the oil group, Mohammad Barkindo, 

said on Monday. 

Opec members and some key oil producers from outside the group, especially Russia, have 

been in talks since September, when they agreed in principle to limit production to speed a 

recovery in oil prices, which have shown only a tentative improvement this year. 

"I have heard from the highest quarters in Moscow that Russia is on board," said Mr Barkindo, on 

his way to the opening discussion at this year’s Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and 

Conference (Adipec). 

Also present for the opening speeches were Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State and head of the 

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, who is also chairman of the conference, and the chief 

executive of ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson. 

The possibility of an output deal is dominating oil industry discussions ahead of a scheduled 

ministerial meeting at Opec headquarters in Vienna on November 30. 

When asked what kind of terms he expected Russia to sign up for, Mr Barkindo said: "I cannot 

go into those details at the moment. These will be for discussions of the technical committee that 

is due to reconvene on November 25 and 28 with the Russians." 

Russian officials have given mixed signals on whether they will join output cuts since talks 

emerged in September. Opec may be once bitten twice shy when it comes to Russia, after it 

reneged on a 2001 agreement to cut production, only to raise exports instead. 

"We believe it is vital that both Opec and non-Opec come together and take coordinated and 

timely action to rebalance this market for the common good for all," Mr Barkindo said at the 

conference.

Although Mr Barkindo said he did not see any stumbling blocks for a deal, several members of 

Opec have made it clear that they expect special treatment because of their circumstances. 

These include Iran, which is still raising production after nuclear-related sanctions were removed 

this year; Libya, which has had erratic production while it has dealt with a civil war; Iraq, which is 

also dealing with a war against ISIL militants; Nigeria, which has had production cut by sabotage 

from activists in its southern states; and Venezuela, whose industry has been in decline for years 

under the governments of the late Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. 

Against this backdrop, Opec, which is de facto led by Saudi Arabia, has been looking to Arabian 

Gulf producers, including Kuwait, the UAE and Qatar, to provide the bulk of the output curbs, 

although they are the lowest-cost producers in the world. The talks are focused on stitching 

together a deal that would at least have the semblance of shared sacrifice. 

Meanwhile, different views on where the market is heading were given by speakers at Adipec. 

Suhail Al Mazrouei, the Minister of Energy, said the oil glut has all but disappeared. 

"The glut is almost gone from where it was a year ago, and this is a positive thing for us to think 

about," the minister said. "I think we are at the bottom of the cycle." 

Mr Tillerson, however, pointed to the continued presence of the glut, which is exacerbated by an 

economic slowdown and low energy demand. 

"Evidence shows the global oil and gas market supply has exceeded demand by an average of 

somewhere between 1 and 2 million barrels a day since the beginning of last year," Mr Tillerson 

said. 

Despite this excess, global demand is expected to rise as populations expand and economic 

growth accelerates over the next few decades. 

"According to ExxonMobil’s own outlook for energy, our long-range supply-demand forecast, 

global economic output will more than double by the year 2040," Mr Tillerson said. "Even after 

factoring in impressive energy efficiency, we expect global energy demand will grow by around 

25 per cent [by 2040]." 

Bob Dudley, the chief executive of BP, said he does not expect international oil companies to 

increase their spending next year as oil prices remain under pressure. 

When asked whether he expected capital expenditure to rise next year, he said: "No, I don’t. I 

think we’re going to be about the same level next year as we have seen it this year. We’re bolting 

it down and we’ve seen a lot of cost savings coming through and industry deflation."

Adipec begins with key presentations on strategies for new energy 

landscape 


Tweet 

 

ABU DHABI, 7th November, 2016 (WAM) -- The largest ever Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), opened today, marking the start of four days of high-level industry 

discussions that will shape policies and strategies for the new energy landscape. 

The event was inaugurated by H.H Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chief of the Abu Dhabi Crown 

Prince’s Court. 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United 

Arab Emirates, Adipec 2016 is hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), supported by 

the UAE Ministry of Energy, the Abu Dhabi Chamber, and the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (TCA Abu 

Dhabi), and organised by dmg events. 

The official opening ceremony featured keynote speeches from Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister 

of State and Adnoc Group CEO; Suhail Mohammad Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy; 

and Mohammed Barkindo, Opec Secretary General. It was followed by industry insights from Rex W 

Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corporation. 

Adipec 2016 marks its 19th edition with its largest event to date, bringing together more than 2,000 

exhibiting companies, 25 country pavilions, 850 speakers, 8,500 delegates, and 100,000 attendees from 

more than 125 countries. 

World energy leaders remain confident and optimistic about the long-term outlook for the oil industry. 

Growing energy demand, bolstered by a rapidly developing global economy, is creating a favourable 

environment for energy sector progress – one in which the petroleum industry will continue to play a 

prominent role. 

In his keynote address, Dr Al Jaber said: "Adipec has become the premier destination for the oil and gas 

industry, a place to reconnect explore new opportunities and debate how we can collectively push the 

boundaries of our industry. 

"The new energy era offers great new opportunities, but to fully unlock those opportunities we require a 

new model of partnership across the whole value chain of this industry -- one that creates real and 

tangible value by bringing technology, experience, financial resources, and market access to the table. 

"While we cannot predict the future price of oil, one factor remains well within our control, and that is the 

cost of every barrel we produce. We must define our own destiny instead of having it dictated by 

externalities. Sound, strategic, and targeted investments are critical and essential to enable sustainable 

growth." 

Al Mazrouei said: "Continuous industry developments, combined with a rapidly evolving global economy, 

are creating an increasingly competitive world energy market. This makes it essential that we leverage 

research, technology, and innovation to optimise both the exploration and production costs of every 

barrel that we produce. 

"By doing so, our industry will thrive and remain competitive in this new energy world. I am confident that 

with our collaborative efforts, and by working both harder and smarter, we can help create a sustainable 

energy future for generations to come." 


Adipec begins with key presentations on strategies for new energy landscape | WAM 


Barkindo underlined Adipec’s role as a premier platform for industry stakeholder collaboration, allowing 

professionals to come together to discuss viewpoints, share analysis, network, and showcase innovative 

solutions. 

"At Opec, we are extremely proud to see such an event taking place in a member country," he said. "The 

oil and gas industry is one of the most vital global economic sectors and will continue to be so for years 

to come. These energy resources will remain vital in continuing to provide heat, lights, and mobility to 

billions of human beings on this earth. We also need to remember that there are still billions of others 

who do not have access to modern energy services. It is critical that this is addressed, and oil and gas 

can play a vital role in this regard." 

Tillerson, chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corporation, said: "The theme of this year’s conference, 

‘Strategies for the New Energy Landscape’ is appropriately timed given the challenges, opportunities, 

and expansion we’re experiencing today. These opportunities have been made possible by the collective 

work of thousands of engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who developed the technologies 

to safely and responsibly deliver the energy the world needs every day. Their successes have unlocked 

vast new supplies of energy and created a period of abundance, and with that, of course, comes the 

challenge of finding ways to effectively manage those commodity cycles. 

"As such, operators today are required to improve their cost structures and be very disciplined in their 

investment choices. Meeting the everchanging operating challenges, the critical importance of 

partnerships between national and international oil companies, and the vital role of emerging and future 

technologies are three areas of importance in today’s energy environment." 

Meanwhile, the first of two Global Ministerial Dialogues brought together international ministers and 

decision makers who offered insights on driving sustainability and shaping future energy scenarios amid 

an evolving global supply mix. 

Speakers included Suhail Mohammad Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy, Sheikh 

Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Oil and Gas Affairs Minister of Bahrain, and Dr Mohammed Bin 

Hamad Al Rumhy, Minister of Oil and Gas for Oman. 

Adipec’s opening day also featured one of three Global Business Leader sessions, offering a world 

outlook for the oil industry, and shedding light on what challenges and opportunities to expect in the 

short, medium, and long-term economic cycles. 

Speakers in the first of the three sessions included Darren W. Woods, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Patrick 

Pouyann?, Chairman and CEO of Total; Bob Dudley, CEO of BP; Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, President and 

CEO, Qatar Petroleum; and Claudio Descalzi, CEO, ENI. 

Tthis year’s winners of the Adipec Awards will be announced this evening during a gala dinner hosted by 

Adnoc at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi. The distinguished awards recognise individuals, companies, and 

projects that demonstrate excellence, best practice, and innovation in energy from around the globe.

OPEC remains 'committed' to output deal: Barkindo 


OPEC agreed on September 28 in Algeria to reduce output to a range of 32.5 million to 33 million barrels a day and should decide how much 

each member should cut by its next meeting on November 30 in Vienna. 

Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries [2] (Opec) and nonOpec members will continue to hold discussions to reach an agreement 

on cutting production to rebalance the oil market in the coming days, Opec’s secretary general Mohammad Barkindo said in Abu Dhabi on 

Monday, despite persistent doubts whether anything positive will come out of the meetings. 

“Consultations between Opec and nonOpec will continue in the coming days and weeks with another high level committee set for later this 

month. It is vital that Opec and nonOpec members to come together to balance the market,” said Mohammad Barkindo while delivering a 

speech at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference. 

“The discussions with nonOpec countries led by Russia were positive last month in understanding viewpoints of various parties.” 

He also told reporters that Opec is committed to Algiers accord that was put together in September and Russia will be on board in the deal. 

“We as Opec remain committed to the Algiers accord that we... put together. All Opec 14 we remain committed to the implementation,” 

Barkindo said in remarks to reporters at the conference, according to Reuters. 

“We have no price objectives... inshallah [God willing] with the implementation of the Algiers accord and cooperation of the nonOpec member 

countries, the rebalancing process will be brought forward in 2017.” The oil prices jumped by more than one per cent on Monday due to 

optimism that there might be a deal. Brent, the global benchmark was trading above $46 per barrel at around 6 pm UAE time. 

Opec agreed on September 28 in Algeria [3] to reduce output to a range of 32.5 million to 33 million barrels a day and decide how much each 

member should cut by its next meeting on November 30 in Vienna. 

The agreement helped push oil prices to a fifteenth month high of about $50 a barrel in October although they have subsequently fallen amid 

doubts whether a deal is possible as some member countries like Iraq, Iran, Nigeria and Libya seek exemptions and differences between Saudi 

Arabia and Iran continue to resurface. 

“Given economic pressures at home for each of the main producers, and a week global economic forecast, although members genuinely want 

to agree on who must cut what, I don’t expect there will be consensus on any hard production caps,” said Adrian Nizzola, a partner in Dubai 

based consultancy Simmons & Simmons. 

“What is more likely to be agreed in Vienna is Opec’s long term strategy and at best there may be agreement on soft targets,” Nizzola said. He 

also added that Saudi could play the responsible parent, and absorb a majority of the cut itself, to force an agreement, but that may be too 

much to ask. 

The consultations are being undertaken as oil prices slide due to over production and weak demand. From more than $110 per barrel in 2014, 

oil prices dropped to less than $50 per barrel in recent times. 

This is the second time in less than a year that Opec and nonOpec countries would be meeting to chalk out a deal to cut or freeze production. 

In Doha earlier this year, oil producing countries failed to reach an agreement [4] in freezing output as Saudi Arabia insisted that Iran join the 

deal. Iran, which is fresh from sanctions is trying to increase production to four million barrels per day as it tries to capture the market share 

which it lost to other countries during the sanctions period. 

Iraq too is ramping up its production so as to generate more revenue to fight Islamist elements, the country’s oil minister Jabbar Al Luaibi 

recently said.

OPEC Raises Oil-Demand Forecast on Outlook for Cheaper Crude - Bloomberg 


OPEC Raises Oil-Demand Forecast on Outlook for Cheaper 

Crude 

Sam Wilkin 

@MrSamWilkin 

OPEC raised its forecast for global oil demand next year and through the end of the decade, anticipating that cheaper crude will spur consumption even as 

economic growth slows. 

Demand will reach 95.3 million barrels a day in 2017, according to the producer group’s annual World Oil Outlook report released Tuesday. That’s an increase 

of 300,000 barrels a day from last year’s forecast. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries also raised its outlook for oil use in 2018, 2019 and 2020, 

when it sees demand reaching 98.3 million barrels a day, or 900,000 more than the group projected in its previous annual outlook. 

OPEC cut its estimates for crude prices by $20 a barrel for each year from 2016 to 2020, compared with its previous outlook. The group assumes crude will 

average $40 a barrel in 2016, and it raised its projected price by $5 a barrel in each of the following years through 2020. Brent has averaged about $44 a barrel so 

far this year. 

OPEC’s upward revision for demand “is the result of a lower medium-term oil price assumption, which is expected to have a stronger influence than 

assumptions of lower medium-term economic growth and expanded energy efficiency policies,” the report’s researchers said. Global economic growth will be 

3.4 percent a year for 2015 to 2021, compared with an annual 3.6 percent that OPEC forecast last year for 2014 to 2020, due to slowdowns in China and Latin 

America, it said. 

The group’s 14 members are in talks with each other, and with non-member producers including Russia, to complete an initial agreement OPEC reached in 

September to limit its collective crude output in an effort to support prices. Benchmark Brent crude tumbled from more than $115 a barrel in June 2014 amid a 

supply glut and ended last week trading 8.3 percent lower at $45.58. Exploration for new crude deposits has declined with prices, prompting concern that 

producers may not be able to meet future demand. 

Future Shortage 

Royal Dutch Shell Plc, the world’s second-biggest energy company by market value, predicts demand for oil could peak in as little as five years. “We’ve long 

been of the opinion that demand will peak before supply,” Shell Chief Financial Officer Simon Henry said on a conference call on Nov. 1. 

“While the recent oil market environment has been one of oversupply, it is vital that the industry ensures that a lack of investments today does not lead to a 

shortage of supply in the future,” OPEC Secretary-General Mohammed Barkindo wrote in a foreword to the report. 

Demand for oil in the rich nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development will begin to fall after 2017, due partly to an increase in 

supplies of natural gas and nuclear and renewable energy, OPEC said. Oil consumption in developing nations will continue to rise, however, driving overall 

demand growth until at least 2040, it said. 

Demand in India will grow to 5.4 million barrels a day by 2021, a 32 percent increase from 2015, OPEC said, raising its forecast from last year by 470,000 

barrels a day due to the Asian nation’s improving economy. The group reduced its growth forecasts for oil demand in Latin America and China. 

Road transportation will account for 6.2 million barrels a day of new demand arising between 2015 and 2040, or more than a third of the total increase for that 

period, according to OPEC. The number of vehicles on the roads will double over those same 25 years to more than 2.5 billion, with developing nations 

accounting for most of the increase. 

While the number of cars will also increase in OECD countries, related oil demand will drop by 30 percent as a result of of improved fuel economy and the 

growing use of electric and hybrid vehicles, OPEC said.

OPEC’s chief warned of prolonged instability in the oil market if the producer group and other major crude suppliers 

fail to act jointly to limit output and curb a global glut. 

An inability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to implement the deal it reached in Algiers in 

September will have “negative consequences on the already fragile state of the industry,” OPEC Secretary-General 

Mohammed Barkindo said Tuesday at a briefing in Abu Dhabi. Markets are “eagerly awaiting” combined action by 

OPEC and non-OPEC producers, he said.

“Failure to jointly act with our non-OPEC colleagues and friends in accordance with the Algiers accord will further 

elongate this period of very low growth, this period of instability in the market, and will put forward, further, the rebalancing 

process,” Barkindo said, adding that he didn’t wish to sound “like a prophet of doom.” 

The Algiers agreement helped push oil prices to a 15-month high above $50 a barrel, but crude has subsequently 

fallen as several OPEC states disputed production estimates that would determine the size of cuts required of the 

group’s individual members. OPEC wants to put the changes into effect when it meets in Vienna on Nov. 30.

The group’s internal disagreements have so far prevented a deal 

to secure cooperation from major non-OPEC suppliers such as 

Russia after rounds of talks in Vienna. The producers will meet 

again in the Austrian capital later this month. OPEC, which 

pumps about 40 percent of the world’s oil, is trying to persuade 

suppliers from outside the group to join the cuts. The 14- 

member group has held talks in the past weeks with producer 

nations including Russia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Kazakhstan and 

Mexico.

OPEC Boss Warns of Oil-Market Instability If No Deal on Output - Bloomberg 


The goal of the Algiers agreement is to “trigger an accelerated draw-down” of oil inventories built up amid 

oversupply, Barkindo said. OPEC is confident that its decision to limit the group’s collective output to a range of 

32.5 million and 33 million barrels a day will reduce inventories and bring forward a balancing of the crude market, 

he said. 

Brent crude, a global benchmark, has dropped by more than half from its high in 2014 of more than $115 a barrel. 

Brent futures fell in each of the last three weeks, and the contract was 0.5 percent lower at $45.91 a barrel in London 

on Tuesday at 12:41 p.m. local time. 

“Every country has a significant interest to increase the oil price,” Indonesian Vice Minister of Energy and Mineral 

Resources Arcandra Tahar said in an interview in Abu Dhabi. “We hope for oil price to stay above $50.” 

Barkindo said the current oil-price cycle is “probably the most severe” that OPEC has ever faced and that the market 

has taken a long time to re-balance. “But I remain confident that the message has sunk in, the consequences are 

clear, and the experience of the past two years or so has been noted and learned.”

Demand for oil is likely to push prices up next year. 

UAE Minister of Energy His Excellency Suhail Al Mazrouie observed that oil prices will soar as 

investments in the industry dwindle. 

OPEC has also raised its forecast for global demand next year and until the end of the decade. 

The group’s World Oil Outlook, released on Tuesday, says demand will reach 95.3 million barrels a 

day by 2017, and 98.3 million barrels a day by 2020. 

Marios Maratheftis, Chief Global Economist at Standard Chartered, agrees.

BARKINDO EXPECTS ‘NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES’ IF ALGIERS DEAL 

NOT FOLLOWED 

Opec secretary general says market in slow, steady rebalancing process

Mohammad Barkindo 


Sarah Diaa, Staff Reporter 

Abu Dhabi: Failure to implement the deal reached at Algiers in late September by oil producers will bring 

negative consequences to an already-fragile oil industry, said Mohammad Barkindo, secretary general of 

the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec). 

Speaking on Tuesday at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), 

Barkindo said the market was now in the midst of a slow but steady process of rebalancing. 

He warned, however, that a failure of Opec members and non-Opec countries to cooperate and follow the 

Algiers deal will “further elongate this period of very low growth, this period of instability in the market and 

will put forward further [elongate] the rebalancing process.” 

“I remain confident that the message has sunk. The consequences are clear and the experience of the past 

two years also has been noted and learned,” Barkindo said. 

He added, “Without sounding as a prophet of doom, I think there’s a convergence of views, not only within 

the producer group — meaning Opec and non-Opec — but you have also heard from consumers and the 

IOCs (International Oil Companies) that failure to implement the Algiers accord in full and timely fashion 

will, of course, bring some negative consequences on the already fragile state of the industry.” 

His statement comes after oil producers committed at a meeting in Algiers in late September to cut oil 

production to around 32.5 million to 33 million barrels per day. Following the meeting, however, countries 

including Iran, Libya, Nigeria, and Iraq asked to be exempted from the production cuts

Failure to implement Algiers accord will further prolong low growth and instability 

Opec Secretary‐General Mohammad Barkindo said not implementing the Algiers accord to cut 

output would have negative consequences. 

"I think a convergence of views is that failure to implement the Algiers accord in full and in a timely 

fashion will bring some consequences. negative consequences on the already fragile state of the 

industry," he said during the launch of the World Oil Outlook 2016 report at the Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference on Tuesday. 

"The need to accelerate the drawdown of the stock overhang and bring the market rebalancing 

forward was at the heart of the Algiers accord. The rebalancing of the fundamentals of this market 

has taken longer than expected. Failure to jointly act with non‐Opec colleagues in accordance with 

the Algiers accord will further prolong this period of low growth and instability in the market," he 

said.

The Opec secretary‐general was confident that unity would be achieved soon. "Our consultations will 

continue in the coming weeks, and this includes with non‐Opec nations. I remain confident that the 

message has sunk in and the consequences are clear. The global community, including markets, is 

awaiting both the Opec and non‐Opec to jointly act on the framework reached in Algiers," he said. 

The publication was unveiled for the first time outside the Opec secretariat in Vienna. The WOO 

report was launched by Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar Ali Al Luaibi. 

Regarding the publication, Barkindo said: "It underlines the increasingly complex nature of the oil 

industry ‐ in the upstream and downstream ‐ the market adjustments taking place since the price 

drop in mid‐2014, the interdependence of all nations, how security of supply and security of demand 

are interlinked and the need to better understand the market drivers, challenges, uncertainties as 

well as opportunities we face." 

"The impact of the current industry cycle on investments has been unmistakable in both 2015 and 

2016. While global spending on exploration and production by oil and gas producers is expected to 

fall slightly less this year, when compared to 2015, the combined amount over the two years equates 

to a loss of more than $300 billion. Looking ahead, this will likely impact not only new projects 

coming onstream, but new discoveries too." 

He said renewables would continue to see the fastest growth. "Fossil fuels are expected to see their 

share in the energy mix fall from 81 per cent to 77 per cent by 2040. Oil and gas combined are still 

anticipated to account for 53 per cent of the energy needs in 2040, similar to current levels. It is clear 

that oil will continue to be a fuel of choice for many years to come." 

He said oil demand is set to reach over 109 million barrels of oil a day by 2040 ‐ an increase of over 

16 million barrels a day. "The main driver of this growth is the road transportation sector in 

developing countries." 

On the supply side, non‐Opec sees a recovery in the medium term, but then plateaus, before 

declining post 2030. 

"It means that in the long term, it is Opec that will be required to meet much of the expected 

additional demand. The estimated share of Opec crude in the total world liquids supply in 2040 is 37 

per cent, which is three percentage points higher than the 2015 level." 

"The WOO report should be viewed as a tool of reference to stimulate discussion," he added.

Adipec 2016: Oil market nearing 

balance, says Al Mazroui 

Ashwani Kumar /abu dhabi 


Current oil situation is a win‐win for both consumers and producers, says UAE energy 

minister 

UAE Energy Minister Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Al Mazroui on Tuesday said the current oil 

situation presents a good opportunity for both consumers and producers. 

"The consumers are saving and reviving their economy. For producers like us, we have learnt that 

competition is going to hurt everyone," Al Mazroui said during a session on 'Empowering Emerging 

Markets' at the ongoing Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference. 

The minister said the industry has improved a lot compared to last year. "Now, the market is very 

close to being in balance. Last year, it was really chaotic. We have sharpened our pencils and taken a 

leap in efficiency. Now we are benefiting and this will stay with us for years to come." 

Al Mazroui, however, struck a cautious note. "There is a balance in supply and demand but there is a 

risk. The risk is moderate when we look at the projects we cancelled or delayed. We need to 

understand that this amount is supposed to come to the market. If it's delayed by a year, we will see 

a shortage of supply. People are exaggerating the contribution from shale oil. I am moderate in my 

expectation. It will come but at a lower pace than we saw in 2012 and 2013." 

Egypt eyes energy export 

Egypt Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla said the country is working its 

way to become an energy exporter again. "We are one of the oldest oil and gas‐producing countries.

For different reasons, we ended up being an importer. In the last few years, we have focused on 

turning our weakness into our strength." 

Among positive changes initiated in Egypt, he cited ease in getting concessional agreements, review 

of gas prices and eliminating bureaucracy. "Now, you can get a concession agreement ratified by 

parliament in less than eight months," he said. 

Egypt is focusing on exploration. "We have some game‐changing discoveries. We are trying to attract 

more investments." 

By 2021, Egypt should be self‐sufficient in gas and a small exporter too. "We are committed to this," 

El Molla added. 

Pakistan in gas drive 

Meanwhile, Pakistan federal minister for petroleum and natural resources Shahid Khaqqan Abbassi 

said the country is meeting its energy needs through gas. 

"We had a serious energy crisis. Nearly 50 per cent of our primary energy is gas and that was the 

way to fix our problems. We have made a serious shift towards a gas‐based energy mix. We are 

concentrating heavily on efficiency." 

Indonesia vice‐minister of energy and mineral resources Arcandra Tahar said there is a gap in the 

country's production and consumption. "There is an opportunity there. It's time to give some 

incentives to contractors. We are willing to help boost investments." 

The new government and a new mindset would help change the climate of investment in Indonesia, 

Tahar added.

"Illogical competition" could hurt oil producers 

8 November, 2016 By Sarmad Khan, Jennifer Gnana 

Suhail alMazroui optimistic that oil market has bottomed out 

"Contribution from shale oil exaggerated” 

UAE energy minister says there is more order in the oil market this year 

More from: "Illogical competition" could hurt oil producers 

The “illogical competition” in the global oil markets could hurt oil producers and they need to come 

together and act responsibly, according to UAE Energy Minister Suhail alMazroui.

11/9/2016 "Illogical competition" could hurt oil producers | News | MEED 

“As producers, we have learned a lot. We have learned that Illogical competition is going to hurt 

everyone,” AlMazroui told the ministerial session of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition 

and Conference (Adipec) on 8 November. 

“I think there is order this year compared with last year in the [oil] market,” he said. The markets were 

“chaotic and even the direction wasn’t clear”, but some of the things that oil producers were hoping to 

happen had happened, which has helped the situation, he added without elaborating. 

Opec last month had reached an accord in Algiers, agreeing to work their way toward a cut in 

production, the first since 2008. Opec is not only trying to find common ground for its members, 

especially Saudi Arabia and its regional rival Iran, to agree to output cuts, it is also trying to rope in non 

Opec counterparts to join their efforts. 

Global crude prices have fallen by more than 50 per cent since the mid2014 peak of $115 a barrel, 

which has resulted in a dramatic drop in oil and gas investments in most parts of the world. 

AlMazroui had made optimistic comments about the state of the markets at Adipec on 7 November, 

saying the global market was at the bottom of the cycle and the supply glut is almost eliminated. 

The oil industry, on the whole, he said, has improved a lot during the downturn as producers have 

“sharpened their pencils”. However, the new risk that the market is facing is a possible shortage in 

supply. 

The number of projects that have been cancelled or delayed or even become unviable means this 

amount of production will not come to the market and this could lead to a “situation where we have a 

shortage of supply”, said AlMazroui. 

“People are exaggerating the contribution from shale oil. I am moderate in my expectations,” he said. “I 

think it will come, but it will come at a pace that is slower than the pace we saw in 201213.”

NATO Ex-Commander General Shirreff urged oil industry to adapt to changes in international security 

and initiate strategic approaches. 

In his key note address at ADIPEC ‘Security in Energy’ Conference on November 8 in Abu Dhabi, 

Shirreff said “Risks are not easily defined, and cover an intricate kaleidoscope of potential threats… 

organised crime, terrorist attacks, and cybersecurity.”

NATO Ex-Commander General Shirreff : Oil & Gas Industry should Take a Strategic Approach to Security 

Page 2 of 2 

Sir Richard said the oil industry faced an increasingly complex and interconnected range of threats from 

technology and geopolitics. To counter this, they needed to shift their approach to security from one of 

reacting to threats, to one of preventing them. 

“Those operating in complex environments need to think of risk strategically,” said Sir Richard. 

“Security is more than having weapons and guards at your door – it is state of mind and stems from 

within the society in which it operates. 

“Unfortunately it is too often the case that the industry has a binary sense of security. Companies must 

understand that these risks are interrelated; what you do on the tech side, for example, could have an 

impact environmentally, socially, and on security.” 

Sir Richard said the oil and gas industries had a better understanding than many of how to manage 

security issues effectively, due to their experience of managing extensive critical infrastructure, often in 

sensitive environments. 

Companies needed to think “comprehensively, and cohesively about risk management”, building bridges 

with multiple stakeholders, understanding the environments they operated in, being aware of geopolitical, 

transnational, and local risks. This included working to build stability in fragile communities, recognising 

that good governance, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities all contribute towards their 

own operational security. 

“These risks are not easily defined, and cover an intricate kaleidoscope of potential threats, including 

organised crime, terrorist attacks, and cyber-security breaches,” Sir Richard said. “This all comes back to 

the oil and gas industry, because so much of it operates in politically sensitive parts of the world, making 

it susceptible to infractions and threats of activism. 

“Oil and gas is of course fundamental to every aspect of economic and national development, and is a 

source of political and operational strength – these inherent characteristics of the industry also make it 

susceptible to abuse.” 

Two challenges Sir Richard identified as particularly relevant today were the current economic climate, 

which could lead companies to operate closer to their financial margins and take more risks, and the 

threat of digital attacks. 

He said it was impossible to overstate the importance of cyber-security, citing the release of the Panama 

Papers as an example of how easily a secure network could be breached, exposing a company to a release 

of sensitive information or the risk of an attack on their networks. 

Government regulators should play a role in both establishing and enforcing protocols and procedures, 

holding people accountable for security breaches, and there must be a close working relationship between 

government agencies and private organisations, with constant communication and each one seeking the 

strategic advice of the other, he noted.

UPDATE 1-OPEC sees negative consequences if 

Algiers accord not implemented 

(Adds fresh comments from OPEC secretary-general) 

By Rania El Gamal 

Nov 8 Failure to implement a deal agreed in Algiers in September to cut oil output would 

bring negative consequences to an already fragile oil industry, the secretary-general of 

the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said on Tuesday. 

"I remain confident that the message has sunk (in), that the consequences are clear and 

the experience of the past two years has been noted," Mohammed Barkindo said at the 

Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC). 

"Failing to implement the Algiers accord in full and timely fashion will bring negative 

consequences on the already fragile state of the industry," he added. 

Oil prices have more than halved in the past two years, pushed down by a glut in global 

supplies and hitting the budgets of major producers. 

Since announcing their intention to cut production to a range of 32.5 to 33 million barrels 

per day following the Algiers meeting, discord among the world's largest exporters has 

grown. 

Libya, Nigeria, Iraq and Iran have clamoured to be exempt from any reduction as they 

recover market share lost to civil unrest and, in the case of Tehran, international 

sanctions. 

But Barkindo said Iran had assured him that it would stick to the agreement. 

"The Islamic Republic of Iran played a very key role in the consensus that produced the 

Algiers accord," Barkindo later told Reuters. 

"I have got it from the highest powers in Tehran personally that Iran is committed to 

implementing the decision they jointly took with other member countries in Algiers, and I 

am satisfied with that," he said. (Reporting by Rania El Gamal; Writing by William

ABU DHABI // The rise of regional terrorism means that GCC countries 

must work harder to protect their oil and gas assets, a former Nato 

commander says. 

Sir Richard Shirreff, deputy supreme allied commander at Nato Europe 

from 2011 to 2014, said that since 2013 there had been an increased 

number of terror attacks on the energy sector in the Middle East. 

Nato general urges 

privatesector role for 

energy security 

Why we need a new 

world order 

Topics: GCCGasOil 

"Energy is an instrument of war but also a direct target," Mr Shirreff said. 

"And the vulnerability of the oil sector and the whole energy sector is the 

Achilles heel of the developed world." 

He said energy grids and refineries in other countries were also at risk. 

"So the physical security of your infrastructure is fundamental but the 

challenges of providing some protection or even surveillance are vast," Mr 

Shirreff said. 

Risks in the Middle East, including terrorism and transnational crime, were 

not new but they had evolved in recent years, he said. 

Conflict in Syria, Iraq and Yemen and the rise of groups such as ISIL had 

shattered the Middle East order. 

"There is no purely military solution to the problem," Mr Shirreff said. 

"It is a generational challenge and needs a combined regional and 

international strategy if it is to be conquered." 

It was in the GCC’s interest to help build stability in the region as other 

countries tried to reduce reliance on oil imports from a region widely seen 

as unstable, Mr Shirreff said. 

He said the GCC should support weaker governments in fighting 

extremism through "a genuinely integrated approach across political, 

military, civilian and commercial interfaces to help train local security 

forces, modernise administrations and stabilise economies. 

"It’s all about stabilising the unstable and removing the soil in which 

terrorism flourishes." 

Mr Shirreff was speaking on Tuesday at the opening of the Security in 

Energy Conference, which is running alongside Adipec.

Dr Jamal Al Hosani, director general at the National Emergency Crisis and 

Disaster Management, agreed that threats had increased in the past 

couple of decades. 

"We’re seeing an unprecedented wave of threats, from cybersecurity to 

terrorism," Dr Al Hosani said. "Such threats demand of us to be prepared 

by devising sound plans and countermeasures to ensure continuity of 

operations. 

"The energy sector is the heart of all sectors. You stop it and all the others 

will shut down, so the consequences of any event will have devastating 

effects on other sectors." 

Osama Salah, head of information security planning and governance at 

Adgas, said the UAE was working hard to protect itself. 

"But with the digital transformation, we have to get the balance right," Mr 

Salah said. "We can’t rely on old plans, especially with the economic 

conditions. 

"We have to be more efficient but there needs to be more data available 

on cyberrisks to learn from failures."

Discussions were taking place on Twitter with the opening of the Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), which aims to establish new strategies for the 

changing energy landscape. 

Sultan Al Jaber, the chief executive of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, said under its new 2030 

strategy and five-year business plan, Adnoc will diversify and increase production of its 

petrochemical portfolio, while opening new markets to ensure sustained profitability. 

It also intends to expand its refining capacity to meet growing demand for refined products. He 

also stressed the importance of the involvement of women in the industry. 

Oman’s minister of oil and gas, Hamad Al Rumhy, and UAE’s Minister of Energy, Suhail Al 

Mazrouei, said there were positive signs in the oil markets. "I think the glut is almost gone from 

where it was a year ago," said Mr Al Mazrouei. 

In another statement, the Minister of Energy said that they were using the opportunity to become 

more efficient and resilient. Bahrain’s minister of oil underlined the impact the oil price plays on 

the global economy.

The largest ever Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and 

Conference (Adipec), opened yesterday, marking the start of four days 

of high-level industry discussions that will shape policies and strategies 

for the new energy landscape. 

The event was inaugurated by H.H Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, 

Chief of the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince's Court. 


Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, Adipec 2016 is hosted 

by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), supported by the UAE 

Ministry of Energy, the Abu Dhabi Chamber, and the Abu Dhabi Tourism 

Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), and organised by dmg events. 

The official opening ceremony featured keynote speeches from Dr 

Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and Adnoc Group CEO; 

Suhail Mohammad Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy; and 

Mohammed Barkindo, Opec Secretary General. It was followed by

industry insights from Rex W Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of Exxon 

Mobil Corporation. 

Adipec 2016 marks its 19th edition with its largest event to date, bringing 

together more than 2,000 exhibiting companies, 25 country pavilions, 

850 speakers, 8,500 delegates, and 100,000 attendees from more than 

125 countries. 

World energy leaders remain confident and optimistic about the longterm 

outlook for the oil industry. Growing energy demand, bolstered by a 

rapidly developing global economy, is creating a favourable environment 

for energy sector progress – one in which the petroleum industry will 

continue to play a prominent role. 

In his keynote address, Dr Al Jaber said: "Adipec has become the 

premier destination for the oil and gas industry, a place to reconnect 

explore new opportunities and debate how we can collectively push the 

boundaries of our industry. 

"The new energy era offers great new opportunities, but to fully unlock 

those opportunities we require a new model of partnership across the 

whole value chain of this industry -- one that creates real and tangible 

value by bringing technology, experience, financial resources, and 

market access to the table. 

"While we cannot predict the future price of oil, one factor remains well 

within our control, and that is the cost of every barrel we produce. We 

must define our own destiny instead of having it dictated by externalities. 

Sound, strategic, and targeted investments are critical and essential to 

enable sustainable growth." 

Al Mazrouei said: "Continuous industry developments, combined with a 

rapidly evolving global economy, are creating an increasingly 

competitive world energy market. This makes it essential that we 

leverage research, technology, and innovation to optimise both the 

exploration and production costs of every barrel that we produce. 

"By doing so, our industry will thrive and remain competitive in this new 

energy world. I am confident that with our collaborative efforts, and by 

working both harder and smarter, we can help create a sustainable 

energy future for generations to come." 

Barkindo underlined Adipec's role as a premier platform for industry 

stakeholder collaboration, allowing professionals to come together to 

discuss viewpoints, share analysis, network, and showcase innovative 

solutions. 

"At Opec, we are extremely proud to see such an event taking place in a 

member country," he said. "The oil and gas industry is one of the most 

vital global economic sectors and will continue to be so for years to 

come. These energy resources will remain vital in continuing to provide 

heat, lights, and mobility to billions of human beings on this earth. We 



Page 3 of 3 

also need to remember that there are still billions of others who do not 

have access to modern energy services. It is critical that this is 

addressed, and oil and gas can play a vital role in this regard." 

Tillerson, chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corporation, said: "The 

theme of this year's conference, ‘Strategies for the New Energy 

Landscape' is appropriately timed given the challenges, opportunities, 

and expansion we're experiencing today. These opportunities have been 

made possible by the collective work of thousands of engineers, 

scientists, and industry professionals who developed the technologies to 

safely and responsibly deliver the energy the world needs every day. 

Their successes have unlocked vast new supplies of energy and created 

a period of abundance, and with that, of course, comes the challenge of 

finding ways to effectively manage those commodity cycles. 

"As such, operators today are required to improve their cost structures 

and be very disciplined in their investment choices. Meeting the everchanging 

operating challenges, the critical importance of partnerships 

between national and international oil companies, and the vital role of 

emerging and future technologies are three areas of importance in 

today's energy environment." 

Meanwhile, the first of two Global Ministerial Dialogues brought together 

international ministers and decision makers who offered insights on 

driving sustainability and shaping future energy scenarios amid an 

evolving global supply mix. 

Speakers included Suhail Mohammad Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, UAE 

Minister of Energy, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Oil and 

Gas Affairs Minister of Bahrain, and Dr Mohammed Bin Hamad Al 

Rumhy, Minister of Oil and Gas for Oman. 

Adipec's opening day also featured one of three Global Business Leader 

sessions, offering a world outlook for the oil industry, and shedding light 

on what challenges and opportunities to expect in the short, medium, 

and long-term economic cycles. 

Speakers in the first of the three sessions included Darren W. Woods, 

Exxon Mobil Corporation, Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of 

Total; Bob Dudley, CEO of BP; Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, President and 

CEO, Qatar Petroleum; and Claudio Descalzi, CEO, ENI. 

Tthis year's winners of the Adipec Awards will be announced this 

evening during a gala dinner hosted by Adnoc at The Ritz-Carlton Abu 

Dhabi. The distinguished awards recognise individuals, companies, and 

projects that demonstrate excellence, best practice, and innovation in 

energy from around the globe. – Emirates News Agency, WAM

Oil and gas industry must take a strategic approach to security: former NATO commander | WAM 

Oil and gas industry must take a strategic approach to 

security: former NATO commander

ABU DHABI, 8th November, 2016 (WAM)--- Oil and gas companies must be proactive in 

adapting to the industry’s changing security landscape, according to General Sir Richard 

Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander for Europe at the North Atlantic 

Treaty Organisation (NATO). 

The oil industry face an increasingly complex, increasingly interconnected range of 

threats from technology and geopolitics. To counter this, they need to shift their approach 

to security from one of reacting to threats, to one of preventing them, Shirreff said while 

speaking on the sidelines of his keynote address at the Security in Energy’ Conference, 

held as part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference 

( ADIPEC 2016). 

"Those operating in complex environments need to think of risk strategically. Security is 

more than having weapons and guards at your door – it is state of mind and stems from 

within the society in which it operates. 

Unfortunately it is too often the case that the industry has a binary sense of security. 

Companies must understand that these risks are interrelated; what you do on the tech 

side, for example, could have an impact environmentally, socially, and on security." 

The former NATO commander said the oil and gas industries had a better understanding 

than many of how to manage security issues effectively, due to their experience of 

managing extensive critical infrastructure, often in sensitive environments. 

Companies need to think "comprehensively, and cohesively about risk management", 

building bridges with multiple stakeholders, understanding the environments they 

operated in, being aware of geopolitical, transnational, and local risks. 

This includes working to build stability in fragile communities, recognising that good 

governance, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities all contribute towards 

their own operational security.

ADIPEC 2016 Awards Celebrate Petroleum 

Industry Innovation 

08 November, 2016 

Winners of the Coveted Accolades Announced on Opening Day of One of the World's Most 

Influential Oil and Gas Events 

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 08 November 2016 

The distinguished Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) Awards 

yesterday announced the eight winners of its 2016 edition. 

Celebrating innovation and commitment to excellence in the energy sector, the prestigious awards 

were presented to seven category winners during the ADIPEC Awards Gala Dinner, held at the 

glamorous Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi. 


ADIPEC 2016, one of the world’s most influential oil and gas events and a global meeting place for 

professionals in the energy sector. Winning entries represented individuals, companies, and projects 

that demonstrated qualities of merit, including ethical oversight, sustainability, and benefit to the 

community – setting benchmarks for best practice in the region and worldwide. 

Thirty-one nominees were shortlisted after the opening round of assessment by the Regional Select 

Jury (RSJ), a panel of experts from the region’s leading energy companies, academic institutions, and 

professional associations. Each shortlisted entry was thoroughly screened by members of the RSJ, 

with the winners selected after a meticulous evaluation process. As leading experts in their fields, the 

RSJ members provide a dedicated level of evaluation which narrows all the entries to a final selection. 

Mr Abdul Munim Saif Al Kindy, Director of Exploration, Development and Production at ADNOC, and 

ADIPEC 2016 Awards Chairman, said: “Today’s achievements represent the industry’s unwavering 



tremendous pressure to optimise their business functions in order to prosper and thrive in today’s 



benchmarks and inspiring others to follow suit. Such achievements enable energy sector progress 

and support the petroleum industry’s valuable role in meeting the world’s growing energy demand.”

The quality of the awards continues to improve year-on-year, making the selection process more 

difficult, according to members of the RSJ. Experts added that such a knowledge-sharing platform is 

of crucial value in today’s increasingly competitive and challenging business environment. 

Omar El Farouk, LWD (logging‐while‐drilling) New Technology Director at Weatherford, and a member of 

the Regional Select Jury, said: “The ADIPEC Awards enable oil and gas companies to compete and 

showcase their achievements across a wide range of disciplines, providing excitement, recognition, 

and support for industry innovation. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the Young 

ADIPEC Engineer submissions, which clearly demonstrated significant improvement. 

“In today’s oil market, cost is the only thing we can control. At a time when organizational efficiency is 

of great importance, companies must adjust their approach to business. And that is precisely what the 

ADIPEC Awards do – they inspire new ways of thinking that set the standards for a sustainable and 

more resilient industry.” 

Saeed Al Menhali, Global Director of New Ventures at TAQA and a member of the Regional Select Jury, 

said: “The ADIPEC Awards is an excellent platform for encouraging competition among local, 

regional, and international players in the oil and gas industry. At a challenging time for the industry, 

the awards serve to inspire organisations to improve efficiencies through innovation and best practice. 

We were very impressed with the quality of submissions this year.” 

Celebrating three consecutive years of success at the ADIPEC Awards, Petroleum Development 

Oman took home two accolades for ‘Best Oil & Gas CSR Project’ and ‘Best Practice’. 

Abdul‐Amir Al Ajmi, Director of External Affairs & Value Creation at the Petroleum Development Oman 

LLC (PDO), said: “With the participation of hundreds of organisations from around the world, the 

competition at the ADIPEC Awards is fierce, and so this success demonstrates that Petroleum 

Development Oman is globally recognised, inspiring us to continue innovating and submitting our 

nominations in the coming years. 

“We won awards in two categories – the first one involved investing hundreds of millions in US dollars 

in various business contracts, helping create more jobs for Omani nationals, and further develop the 

community. 

“The second award is for a method we developed for accelerating the process of oil field 

development, from the point of exploration to the point of production. With the effort and research put 

in by our engineers and technical team, we were able to reduce the duration of this process by about 

two-three years – saving both time and money.” 

Badria Ali Abdul Raheem, Deputy CEO (North Kuwait) at Kuwait Oil Company, received the award 

for ‘Oil & Gas Woman of the Year’. 

“I am very proud to be honoured today, as the Oil and Gas Woman of the Year, by the ADIPEC 

Awards 2016. Throughout my career, I have known that hard work, patience, resilience, and passion 

are what distinguish professionals and help them succeed regardless of gender,” Ms Abdul Raheem 

said. 

“ADIPEC is one of the largest oil and gas industry events globally. You feel very privileged and 

motivated when you are recognised by this event. For that reason, I encourage industry professionals 

to continue working hard towards demonstrating excellence in their work and achievement,” added 

Badria, concluding that she feels very optimistic about the future of the industry.

"Stability will Amplify Investments and Encourage Petroleum Output Expansion," says OPEC Secretary General 

OPEC World Oil Outlook 2016: Global Energy Demand to Increase 40% by 2040; Oil-related Investment 

Requirements Estimated at USD $10 Trillion 

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 08 November 

Long-term stability is key to restoring confidence in the oil market, giving producers adequate returns and 

sufficient revenues to make investments that are necessary for future capacity expansions, according to OPEC’s 

Secretary General. 

Speaking on the sidelines of OPEC’s World Oil Outlook launch at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2016), H.E. Mohammed Barkindo said that stability plays an instrumental 

role in driving investments into future petroleum output expansion, which will be critical to meeting the 

world’s growing energy demand. 

“The future potential for energy providers is huge. No doubt, there are challenges and uncertainties that we 

will face, but there are also tremendous opportunities, and they all equate to growing demand on all forms of 

energy - that is oil, gas, renewables, coal and nuclear - to meet the burgeoning demand levels,” said H.E. 

Barkindo. 

Figures from OPEC’s 2016 World Oil Outlook report show that global energy demand will increase by 40 per 

cent by 2040, with oil and gas accounting for a substantial share of this rise. From the perspective of oil, OPEC 

sees demand increasing by around 17 million barrels a day. 

“To meet the forecasted expansion in demand, the industry will naturally require significant investments. It is 

then essential for us to continue working towards securing orderly and stable markets with prices at levels 

that are conducive to a healthy and prosperous future for all concerned in the industry,” added H.E. Barkindo.

Lasting Stability Critical to Restoring Confidence in Future Global Oil Market | Zawya 

An estimated USD $10 trillion in investments are required by 2040, according to the World Oil Outlook, 

driven by the continuous growth of the global economy, which will more than double in size during the same 

period. That, combined with a growing world population that is set to reach over 9 billion, will create a high 

demand for modern energy services to fuel socio-economic development. It estimated that about 2.7 billion 

people still rely on biomass for their basic needs, while some 1.3 billion have no access to electricity. 

“Stability is necessary in order for us to plan for the future with relative certainty,” concluded H.E. Barkindo. 

“We need stability for investments and for future petroleum output expansion to flourish. We need stability 

for economies around the world to grow and especially to provide access to modern energy services for those 

currently without them. And we need stability to give producers a fair return from the exploitation of their 

exhaustible natural resources. Without question, stability is the key to a sustainable global energy future for 

us all.” 

Established as one of the world’s most influential exhibition and conferences for the oil and gas industry, 

ADIPEC has a longstanding track record of bringing together globally celebrated luminaries and experts to 

discuss challenges and opportunities in the energy sector. The annual four-day event takes place from 7-10

Oil & Gas Industry Must Take a Strategic 

Approach to Security, Says Former NATO 

Commander 

(http://www.zawya.com/pr/) 08 November, 2016 

General Sir Richard Shirreff delivers Key Note address at Inaugural ADIPEC 'Security in Energy' 

Conference 

"Risks are not easily defined, and cover an intricate kaleidoscope of potential threats... organised 

crime, terrorist attacks, and cybersecurity" 


Oil and gas companies must be proactive in adapting to the industry’s changing security 

landscape, according to British army officer and former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander 

for Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff. 

Speaking on the sidelines of his keynote address at the ADIPEC 2016 ‘Security in Energy’ 

Conference, Sir Richard said the oil industry faced an increasingly complex, increasingly 

interconnected range of threats from technology and geopolitics. To counter this, they needed to 

shift their approach to security from one of reacting to threats, to one of preventing them. 

“Those operating in complex environments need to think of risk strategically,” said Sir Richard. 

“Security is more than having weapons and guards at your door – it is state of mind and stems 

from within the society in which it operates. 

“Unfortunately it is too often the case that the industry has a binary sense of security. Companies 

must understand that these risks are interrelated; what you do on the tech side, for example, could 

have an impact environmentally, socially, and on security.” 

http://www.zawya.com/mena/en/story/Oil__Gas_Industry_Must_Take_a_Strategic_Approach_to_Security_Says_Former_NATO_Commander-ZAWYA20161108163029/


Sir Richard said the oil and gas industries had a better understanding than many of how to 

manage security issues effectively, due to their experience of managing extensive critical 

infrastructure, often in sensitive environments. 

Companies needed to think “comprehensively, and cohesively about risk management”, building 

bridges with multiple stakeholders, understanding the environments they operated in, being 

aware of geopolitical, transnational, and local risks. This included working to build stability in 

fragile communities, recognising that good governance, healthcare, education, and employment 

opportunities all contribute towards their own operational security. 

“These risks are not easily defined, and cover an intricate kaleidoscope of potential threats, 

including organised crime, terrorist attacks, and cybersecurity breaches,” Sir Richard said. “This all 

comes back to the oil and gas industry, because so much of it operates in politically sensitive parts 

of the world, making it susceptible to infractions and threats of activism. 

“Oil and gas is of course fundamental to every aspect of economic and national development, and 

is a source of political and operational strength – these inherent characteristics of the industry also 

make it susceptible to abuse.” 

Two challenges Sir Richard identified as particularly relevant today were the current economic 

climate, which could lead companies to operate closer to their financial margins and take more 

risks, and the threat of digital attacks. 

He said it was impossible to overstate the importance of cybersecurity, citing the release of the 

Panama Papers as an example of how easily a secure network could be breached, exposing a 

company to a release of sensitive information or the risk of an attack on their networks. 

Government regulators should play a role in both establishing and enforcing protocols and 

procedures, holding people accountable for security breaches, and there must be a close working 

relationship between government agencies and private organisations, with constant 

communication and each one seeking the strategic advice of the other. 

However, one of the greatest threats to data security was the people who had access; and how 

careful they were. 

“Just like physical security is not just about having guards at your door, cybersecurity is not only 

about the data defences you have in place – it is about the people you are operating with,” said Sir 

Richard. “So often, cybersecurity breaches are the result of poor discipline and a misguided work 

culture, so companies must take the appropriate measures to institute a work ethic that promotes 

security.” 

ADIPEC launched the ‘Security in Energy’ conference as a new addition to its programme for this 

year, in support of regional and global efforts to protect the industry from threats posed by 

compromised information technology and today’s rapidly changing global environment.

OPEC boss warns of oil-market instability if no 

deal on output 


Photo Credit: bashta / 123RF Stock Photo 

Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)’s chief warned of prolonged instability in the 

oil market if the producer group and other major crude suppliers fail to act jointly to limit output and 

curb a global glut. 

An inability of the OPEC to implement the deal it reached in Algiers in September will have “negative 

consequences on the already 

fragile state of the industry,” OPEC Secretary-General Mohammed Barkindo said Tuesday at a 

briefing in Abu Dhabi. 

Markets are “eagerly awaiting” combined action by OPEC and non-OPEC producers, he said. 

“Failure to jointly act with our non-OPEC colleagues and friends in accordance with the Algiers accord 

will further elongate this period of very low growth, this period of instability in the market, and will put 

forward, further, the re-balancing process,” Barkindo said, adding that he didn’t wish to sound “like a 

prophet of doom.” 

The Algiers agreement helped push oil prices to a 15-month high above $50 a barrel, but crude has 

subsequently fallen as several OPEC states disputed production estimates that would determine the 

size of cuts required of the group’s individual members. OPEC wants to put the changes into effect 

when it meets in Vienna on November 30

Workplace diversity 'basic to energy sector progress' 

Thu, 10 Nov 2016 

MIDDLE EAST BUSINESS NEWS 

ABU DHABI 

Panellists at the conference 

The success and longterm sustainability of the petroleum industry will largely 

depend upon its ability to embrace workplace diversity, industry leaders said during 

Adipec’s ‘Women in Energy’ conference. 

And with innovation needed now more than ever amid an evolving energy landscape 

and an increasingly competitive business environment, diversity of thought is proving 

to be an essential driver of industry progress. 

“Women make a valuable contribution to every business and across industries, and 

studies have consistently shown the importance of diversity in the workplace. Roles 

that have been traditionally maledominated are witnessing an evolution, and women 

are increasingly taking the helm in leadership positions,” said Merete Juhl, Danish 

Ambassador to the UAE and Qatar, and a key speaker at ‘Women in Energy’. 

“This holds true for the energy sector now more than ever. The energy landscape is 

evolving, presenting women with a host of new and exciting career opportunities. By 

helping prospective candidates identify these opportunities and creating a supportive 

framework for career development, we are cultivating tomorrow’s generation of 

female energy leaders.” 

With an established track record of raising an engaging and inspiring debate on the 

issues surrounding the role of women in the energy sector, ‘Women in Energy’ is 

part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), 

the world’s most influential event for the oil and gas industry. 

‘Women in Energy’ invites both male and female leaders to the stage to share their 

experience and insights on the journey to success. Eight engaging sessions, 

including onstage interviews and a live voting discussion with global management 

consulting firm AT Kearney, addressed the challenges and the many opportunities 

for women in the energy sector. 

“The benefits of increasing gender diversity in the workplace are significant. Closing 

the gender gap can alone add 12 per cent growth to the OECD economy by 2030 

and generate a positive impact on the profitability of companies,” said Ada Perniceni, 



Partner at AT Kearney. 

According to recent research from AT Kearney, female participation in the regional 

workforce has increased by 33 per cent since 1993. Growth in female participation 

across industries in the GCC ranges from 15 per cent in Kuwait to 63 per cent in the 

UAE. 

“In the energy sector, the role of gender diversity is as important as for other 

industries,” said Perniceni. 

“There is an untapped opportunity to be further explored and exploited. I believe that 

reaching gender diversity and reaping the benefits will require a concerted effort not 

only by the women themselves, but also through collaboration and identification of 

solutions in social networks, governments and companies alike.” 

An inclusive and open corporate environment, one in which varying perspectives are 

encouraged, new ideas are embraced, and experimentation and ‘outofthebox’ 

thinking are valued, forms the “bedrock for innovation,” according to Intisaar Al Kindi, 

Exploration Director at Petroleum Development Oman. 

“Traditionally, the oil and gas industry has been a maledominated environment, and 

it only seems natural that organisations will find it difficult to optimise their 

performance if they are excluding half of the population,” she said. “Women can 

often be more collaborative and communicative in their approach, which is very 

important when discussing, assessing, and implementing new ideas.” 

Innovation will play an instrumental role in helping the industry operate more safely, 

responsibly, and efficiently, which is important not only for meeting current 

challenges, but also for the industry’s longterm sustainability, added Al Kindi. 

“New technology and ways of working are helping us identify the opportunities and 

risks in our fields and address them in a more streamlined, faster and relevant 

manner. At times of crisis, when experienced staff are let go, innovation can suffer, 

so it is also vital that you have a pipeline of talented, technically competent, and 

balanced pool of staff who can adapt and work collaboratively with the latest 

technologies in a rapidly changing sector.”

Al Mazrouei: Oil supply glut almost 

gone

Abu Dhabi: Oil prices are at the bottom of the price cycle and the supply glut in the market is almost 

gone, says Suhail Al Mazroui, UAE’s energy minister. 

Speaking on Monday at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), 

the minister said, “We cannot afford to see a [price] hike that stays for long, and we realise that as a 

producer. We are not greedy to just see a hike that stays for four years, and then we see a [drop]. I 

think we need some sort of stabilisation in the price level and that cannot be done without significant 

investments.” 

Al Mazroui also described global demand levels as healthy. He said he was optimistic about the 

outlook for oil prices, and said that the drop in prices over the past two years has forced the industry 

to raise efficiency, cut costs, and find new ways of optimisation. 

“We have seen since the middle of 2014 till today a significant reduction in the number of projects that 

were supposed to come on stream. I think it adds up to no less than four to five million barrels [of oil], 

which were supposed to come this year in stream had all these investments been made. 

“We have seen during these two years retraction… Any production that you see today was made two 

years ago… If the glut is gone and we don’t have major [new] supply, why shouldn’t we be 

optimistic?” Al Mazroui said.

Oil prices have more than halved since summer 2014 when they fell from their $115 (Dh422) highs to 

around $46 a barrel where they stand now. The decline has led to a plunge in revenues of 

governments in GCC that rely on oil income, resulting in budget deficits across the region’s 

governments. 

Also speaking at the event was Mohammad Barkindo, secretary general of the Organisation of 

Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) who said Opec will continue to hold meetings in the coming 

days and weeks between its member countries and other non-Opec oil producers. 

Barkindo said it was “vital” that Opec and non-Opec members cooperate and consult in order to 

rebalance the oil market. 

His statement comes after Opec committed at a meeting in Algiers in late September to cut oil 

production to around 32.5 million to 33 million barrels per day. The meeting, however, did not lay out 

a plan on how the cuts will be implemented or which countries are going to cut their production levels. 

In his speech, Barkindo highlighted challenges in the energy industry over 2015 and 2016, saying that 

investments in energy have been on the decline. He said investment values dropped by 25 per cent in 

2015 and by 22 per cent in 2016. 

The combined drop in both years is valued at well over $300 billion. Barkindo pointed that there has 

never been a three-year consecutive decline in history, and this led Opec to what he called a 

“landmark agreement” in Algiers in September.

Low Oil Price boon for investors, says UAE 

Energy Minister Al Mazrouei

for oil outstripped supply, and that for companies with strong balance sheets and a long‐term 

view now was the time to invest, not to withdraw.

Oil companies that invest during the current downturn in oil prices stand to profit the most when 

supply and demand comes back into balance, said, UAE’s Energy Minister, His Excellency Suhail 

Mohamed Faraj Al Mazrouei. 

Speaking on the sidelines of His Excellency’s Q&A discussion at ADIPEC’S VIP Programme on the 

UAE’s future energy vision, His Excellency said the long‐term demand for oil outstripped supply, and 

that for companies with strong balance sheets and a long‐term view now was the time to invest, not 

to withdraw. 

“The oil industry is inherently cyclical – this is a basic point that often gets overlooked in the shortterm 

noise – and finding an equilibrium between supply and demand is almost impossible,” His 

Excellency said. 

“However, demand has consistently increased, and the business cycle that drives an increase in 

demand moves much more quickly than the oil industry can expand its capacity for supply.” 

His Excellency said around USD 200‐billion worth of oil and gas projects had been postponed 

worldwide because of the fall in prices. With the industry needing between six and nine years to 

move from discovery of new deposits through to production, the dramatic fall in investment would 

leave companies making those cuts slow to respond when the market started to rise.

By contrast, those that invested while asset prices were low would be ideally positioned with to 

meet increased demand with additional capacity, gaining a bigger share of a future rising market. 

“The dramatic reaction in reducing investment will inevitably lead to demand coming back into 

equilibrium, and ultimately exceeding supply in the coming years,” His Excellency said. “We can see 

the cyclical nature of the industry reinforced before our very eyes. For those companies that are 

strong enough to hold their nerve and make strategic long‐term investments, this is a golden 

opportunity.” 

His Excellency said the very fact that oil had fallen so significantly in price could itself trigger a 

recovery. Lower costs acted as an economic stimulus for countries that were net energy importers, 

supporting growth in the global economy, and ultimately increasing demand in the commodities 

markets, His Excellency concluded.

Workplace diversity 'basic to energy sector progress' 



The success and longterm sustainability of the petroleum industry will largely depend upon its 

ability to embrace workplace diversity, industry leaders said during Adipec’s ‘Women in Energy’ 

conference. 

And with innovation needed now more than ever amid an evolving energy landscape and an 

increasingly competitive business environment, diversity of thought is proving to be an essential 

driver of industry progress. 

“Women make a valuable contribution to every business and across industries, and studies have 

consistently shown the importance of diversity in the workplace. Roles that have been traditionally 

maledominated are witnessing an evolution, and women are increasingly taking the helm in 

leadership positions,” said Merete Juhl, Danish Ambassador to the UAE and Qatar, and a key 

speaker at ‘Women in Energy’. 

“This holds true for the energy sector now more than ever. The energy landscape is evolving, 

presenting women with a host of new and exciting career opportunities. By helping prospective 

candidates identify these opportunities and creating a supportive framework for career 

development, we are cultivating tomorrow’s generation of female energy leaders.” 


surrounding the role of women in the energy sector, ‘Women in Energy’ is part of the Abu Dhabi 

International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), the world’s most influential event for 

the oil and gas industry.

‘Women in Energy’ invites both male and female leaders to the stage to share their experience and 

insights on the journey to success. Eight engaging sessions, including onstage interviews and a 

live voting discussion with global management consulting firm AT Kearney, addressed the 

challenges and the many opportunities for women in the energy sector. 

“The benefits of increasing gender diversity in the workplace are significant. Closing the 

gender gap can alone add 12 per cent growth to the OECD economy by 2030 and generate a 

positive impact on the profitability of companies,” said Ada Perniceni, Partner at AT Kearney. 

According to recent research from AT Kearney, female participation in the regional workforce has 

increased by 33 per cent since 1993. Growth in female participation across industries in the GCC 

ranges from 15 per cent in Kuwait to 63 per cent in the UAE. 

“In the energy sector, the role of gender diversity is as important as for other industries,” said 

Perniceni. 

“There is an untapped opportunity to be further explored and exploited. I believe that reaching 

gender diversity and reaping the benefits will require a concerted effort not only by the women 

themselves, but also through collaboration and identification of solutions in social networks, 

governments and companies alike.” 

An inclusive and open corporate environment, one in which varying perspectives are encouraged, 

new ideas are embraced, and experimentation and ‘outofthebox’ thinking are valued, forms the 

“bedrock for innovation,” according to Intisaar Al Kindi, Exploration Director at Petroleum 

Development Oman. 

“Traditionally, the oil and gas industry has been a maledominated environment, and it only seems 

natural that organisations will find it difficult to optimise their performance if they are excluding half 

of the population,” she said. “Women can often be more collaborative and communicative in their 

approach, which is very important when discussing, assessing, and implementing new ideas.” 

Innovation will play an instrumental role in helping the industry operate more safely, responsibly, 

and efficiently, which is important not only for meeting current challenges, but also for the industry’s 

longterm sustainability, added Al Kindi. 

“New technology and ways of working are helping us identify the opportunities and risks in our 

fields and address them in a more streamlined, faster and relevant manner. At times of crisis, when 

experienced staff are let go, innovation can suffer, so it is also vital that you have a pipeline of 

talented, technically competent, and balanced pool of staff who can adapt and work collaboratively 

with the latest technologies in a rapidly changing sector.”

Africa. (Image Source: Kerui Petroleum) 

Speaking from the ADIPEC conference in Abu Dhabi this week, 

Mr Leng said the financial climate has created “opportunities to 

change strategies”, including taking a localised approach in the 

countries where they operate. 

“We are serving local companies and creating local jobs, of 

course,” he told Oil Review Middle East. 

In the Middle East region, the head office is in the UAE and four 

years ago, a joint venture was established to form an Omani 

subsidiary of Kerui. In January 2016, Kerui was awarded a 

certificate to acknowledge the company’s role in Oman’s 

development by the Oman Society for Petroleum Services. Kerui 

also operates in Saudi Arabia with a base in Dammam and Turkey with a base in Izmir. 

Kerui also employs 200 people in the southern part of Iraq, providing service teams to three oilfields. Operations were 

suspended in northern Iraq in 2009 but Mr Leng said: “I hope it will come back.” 

Mr Leng described the African market as important to Kerui and praised the Chinese government for facilitating their work 

in the continent with financial support. Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Gabon and Nigeria are all significant markets for the company.

Adipec 2016: Gas, with the right 

technology, is a cleaner partner 


Ben van Beurden 

If inspiration for the future lies in past achievements, the Middle East should never feel short of ideas and the will 

to succeed. 

Through history it has excelled in the fields of art, learning, science and medicine. It has also, of course, supplied 

much of the oil and gas that has helped to shape the global economy. 

Such inspiration should help the region tackle the challenges it faces today. A rapid rise in population and, at 

times, surging economic growth bringing better living standards for many, have sparked greater demand for 

energy. Across the Middle East, energy consumption is set to double by 2050, according to the World Energy 

Council. 

Yet in some parts of the region many still have no access to energy at all. Governments trying to spur economic 

development that will help their people prosper must find ways to provide access to affordable energy. 

That in turn raises the question: how can this be done while reducing emissions of the greenhouse gases that 

contribute to climate change? If efforts to reduce global carbon emissions fall short, water-scarce areas could 

become hotter and drier and communities living in coastal areas could be affected by rising sea levels. 

So the Middle East has much to gain from playing its part in a successful transition to a lower-carbon world. 

Renewable sources, such as solar and wind, are rapidly gaining ground globally and will play an increasingly 

essential role in the transition. In the UAE, the renewable energy company Masdar is helping to drive the 

development and deployment of clean energy. Countries across the region, including the UAE, are already 

moving to develop solar power plants in particular. 

Renewable energy will take a long time to reach the scale needed and it can only do so much. Solar and wind 

energy produce electricity, which accounts for less than one-fifth of all energy consumed worldwide. Wider 

electrification of the energy system is needed, including in transport and other major industrial sectors, for 

renewables to realise more of their potential. 

There is another solution close to hand. The Middle East has abundant, untapped resources of natural gas. 

When burnt for power, natural gas produces less carbon dioxide and less local air pollution than other 

hydrocarbons. Much of the gas found in the region is of a type that requires significantly more processing than is 

common elsewhere. But with the right technology and expertise in place, these resources can help to extend the 

region’s energy security, and improve air quality. 

Natural gas is an ideal partner for renewable energy to ensure a steady supply of electricity, as demonstrated by 

Masdar’s 100-megawatt Shams 1 solar power plant in Abu Dhabi. Combining gas and solar offers the benefit of 

cleaner energy with the advantage of a gas-fired power plant to provide back-up. 

Shipments of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, are increasingly common across the region, helping countries to 

bridge short-term gaps in supply and offering longer-term energy security. And, although still in its infancy as a 

transport fuel, cleaner-burning LNG also has the potential to replace diesel in lorries and marine fuel for shipping. 

Shell has been operating in the Middle East for many decades. We are keen to play a key part in its future. In 

developing oil and gas resources in this region, we have worked closely with partners to overcome the technical 

challenges that exist. 

For instance, we are a partner in Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), which has boosted oil production from 

declining fields by about 30 per cent in the past 10 years using increasingly sophisticated techniques. Today 

PDO is involved in a project called Miraah, which uses solar energy – in place of natural gas – to generate steam 

for injection into the field to ease the flow of oil. The project’s first phase is expected to be complete next year 

and, when fully operational, it will cut carbon dioxide emissions by more than 300,000 tonnes a year. The gas 

saved will fuel local power production or domestic industry. 

Making savings and creating value is crucial. In Iraq, we are a partner in the Basrah Gas Company, which 

captures natural gas produced along with oil from three major oilfields. This valuable resource used to be burnt, 

or flared. It now provides 70 per cent of the electricity needed in Basrah and its surrounding areas.

Developing and freeing up more of the region’s natural gas resources will require technical expertise, investment 

and collaboration. But the effort will be worth it. 

Greater use of natural gas can help to meet the Middle East’s rising demand for energy, while smoothing the 

transition to a lower-carbon world.

Workplace diversity 'basic to 

energy sector progress' 

ABU DHABI, 7 days ago 

The success and longterm sustainability 

of the petroleum industry will largely 

depend upon its ability to embrace 

workplace diversity, industry leaders said 

during Adipec’s ‘Women in Energy’ 

conference. 

And with innovation needed now more 

than ever amid an evolving energy 

landscape and an increasingly competitive 

business environment, diversity of thought 

is proving to be an essential driver of 

industry progress. 


“Women make a valuable contribution to 

every business and across industries, and studies have consistently shown the importance of diversity in 

the workplace. Roles that have been traditionally maledominated are witnessing an evolution, and women 

are increasingly taking the helm in leadership positions,” said Merete Juhl, Danish Ambassador to the UAE 

and Qatar, and a key speaker at ‘Women in Energy’. 

“This holds true for the energy sector now more than ever. The energy landscape is evolving, presenting 

women with a host of new and exciting career opportunities. By helping prospective candidates identify 

these opportunities and creating a supportive framework for career development, we are cultivating 

tomorrow’s generation of female energy leaders.” 

With an established track record of raising an engaging and inspiring debate on the issues surrounding the 

role of women in the energy sector, ‘Women in Energy’ is part of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (Adipec), the world’s most influential event for the oil and gas industry. 

‘Women in Energy’ invites both male and female leaders to the stage to share their experience and insights 

on the journey to success. Eight engaging sessions, including onstage interviews and a live voting 

discussion with global management consulting firm AT Kearney, addressed the challenges and the many 

opportunities for women in the energy sector. 

“The benefits of increasing gender diversity in the workplace are significant. Closing the gender gap can 

alone add 12 per cent growth to the OECD economy by 2030 and generate a positive impact on the 

profitability of companies,” said Ada Perniceni, Partner at AT Kearney. 

According to recent research from AT Kearney, female participation in the regional workforce has increased 

by 33 per cent since 1993. Growth in female participation across industries in the GCC ranges from 15 per 

cent in Kuwait to 63 per cent in the UAE. 

“In the energy sector, the role of gender diversity is as important as for other industries,” said Perniceni. 

“There is an untapped opportunity to be further explored and exploited. I believe that reaching gender 

diversity and reaping the benefits will require a concerted effort not only by the women themselves, but also 

through collaboration and identification of solutions in social networks, governments and companies alike.” 

An inclusive and open corporate environment, one in which varying perspectives are encouraged, new 

ideas are embraced, and experimentation and ‘outofthebox’ thinking are valued, forms the “bedrock for 

innovation,” according to Intisaar Al Kindi, Exploration Director at Petroleum Development Oman. 

“Traditionally, the oil and gas industry has been a maledominated environment, and it only seems natural 

that organisations will find it difficult to optimise their performance if they are excluding half of the 

population,” she said. “Women can often be more collaborative and communicative in their approach, which 

is very important when discussing, assessing, and implementing new ideas.” 

http://tradearabia.com/news/OGN_316523.html 1/2


Innovation will play an instrumental role in helping the industry operate more safely, responsibly, and 

efficiently, which is important not only for meeting current challenges, but also for the industry’s longterm 

sustainability, added Al Kindi. 

“New technology and ways of working are helping us identify the opportunities and risks in our fields and 

address them in a more streamlined, faster and relevant manner. At times of crisis, when experienced staff 

are let go, innovation can suffer, so it is also vital that you have a pipeline of talented, technically 

competent, and balanced pool of staff who can adapt and work collaboratively with the latest technologies 

in a rapidly changing sector.” 

Established as one of the world’s most influential exhibition and conferences for the oil and gas industry, 

Adipec has a longstanding track record of bringing together globally celebrated luminaries and experts to 

discuss challenges and opportunities in the energy sector. 

The annual fourday event, which opened on November 7 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, 

concludes today (November 10). TradeArabia News Service

ABU DHABI, 9th November, 2016 (WAM)-- Oil companies that invest during the current downturn in oil 

prices stand to profit the most when supply and demand comes back into balance, according to the UAE 

Minister of Energy Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei. 

The long-term demand for oil outstripped supply, and that for companies with strong balance sheets and 

a long-term view now was the time to invest, not to withdraw, he said on the sidelines of the VIP 

Programme on the UAE’s future energy vision, held during the current Abu Dhabi International 

Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC 2016) "The oil industry is inherently cyclical - this is a 

basic point that often gets overlooked in the short-term noise - and finding an equilibrium between 

supply and demand is almost impossible," said Al Mazrouie, who is also the managing director of Abu 

Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Company, IPIC. 

"However, demand has consistently increased, and the business cycle that drives an increase in 

demand moves much more quickly than the oil industry can expand its capacity for supply." 

US$200-billion worth of oil and gas projects had been postponed worldwide because of the fall in prices, 

he said. "With the industry needing between six and nine years to move from discovery of new deposits 

through to production, the dramatic fall in investment would leave companies making those cuts slow to 

respond when the market started to rise." 

By contrast, those that invested while asset prices were low would be ideally positioned with to meet 

increased demand with additional capacity, gaining a bigger share of a future rising market, according to 

the energy minister. 

"The dramatic reaction in reducing investment will inevitably lead to demand coming back into 

equilibrium, and ultimately exceeding supply in the coming years," he said. "We can see the cyclical 

nature of the industry reinforced before our very eyes. For those companies that are strong enough to 

hold their nerve and make strategic long-term investments, this is a golden opportunity." 

"The very fact that oil had fallen so significantly in price could itself trigger a recovery. Lower costs acted 

as an economic stimulus for countries that were net energy importers, supporting growth in the global 

economy, and ultimately increasing demand in the commodities markets," Minister Al Mazrouie 

concluded.

Sir Richard Shirreff, former NATO Commander, at ADIPEC 2016 

Published: 10 November 2016 6:34 a.m. 


Oil and gas companies must be proactive in adapting to the 

industry’s changing security landscape, according to former 

NATO Deputy Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, General 

Sir Richard Shirreff. 

Speaking on the side lines of his keynote address at the ADIPEC 

2016 ‘Security in Energy’ Conference, Sir Richard said the oil industry 

faced an increasingly complex, increasingly interconnected range of 

threats from technology and geopolitics. To counter this, they needed 

to shift their approach to security from one of reacting to threats, to 

one of preventing them. 

“Those operating in complex environments need to think of risk 

strategically,” said Sir Richard. “Security is more than having 

weapons and guards at your door – it is state of mind and stems 

from within the society in which it operates. 

“Unfortunately it is too often the case that the industry has a binary 

sense of security. Companies must understand that these risks are 

interrelated; what you do on the tech side, for example, could have 

an impact environmentally, socially, and on security.”

11/14/2016 Taking a strategic approach to security | United Arab Emirates | Oil & Gas | ArabianIndustry.com 

Sir Richard said the oil and gas industries had a better understanding 

than many of how to manage security issues effectively, due to their 

experience of managing extensive critical infrastructure, often in 

sensitive environments. 

Companies needed to think “comprehensively, and cohesively about 

risk management”, building bridges with multiple stakeholders, 

understanding the environments they operated in, being aware of 

geopolitical, transnational, and local risks. This included working to 

build stability in fragile communities, recognising that good 

governance, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities all 

contribute towards their own operational security. 

“These risks are not easily defined, and cover an intricate 

kaleidoscope of potential threats, including organised crime, terrorist 

attacks, and cybersecurity breaches,” Sir Richard said. “This all 

comes back to the oil and gas industry, because so much of it 

operates in politically sensitive parts of the world, making it 

susceptible to infractions and threats of activism. 

“Oil and gas is of course fundamental to every aspect of economic 

and national development, and is a source of political and operational 

strength – these inherent characteristics of the industry also make it 

susceptible to abuse.” 

Two challenges Sir Richard identified as particularly relevant today 

were the current economic climate, which could lead companies to 

operate closer to their financial margins and take more risks, and the 

threat of digital attacks. 

He said it was impossible to overstate the importance of 

cybersecurity, citing the release of the Panama Papers as an 

example of how easily a secure network could be breached, 

exposing a company to a release of sensitive information or the risk 

of an attack on their networks. 

Government regulators should play a role in both establishing and 

enforcing protocols and procedures, holding people accountable for 

security breaches, and there must be a close working relationship 

between government agencies and private organisations, with 

constant communication and each one seeking the strategic advice 

of the other. 

However, one of the greatest threats to data security was the people 

who had access; and how careful they were. 

“Just like physical security is not just about having guards at your 

door, cybersecurity is not only about the data defences you have in 

place – it is about the people you are operating with,” said Sir 

Richard. “So often, cybersecurity breaches are the result of poor 

discipline and a misguided work culture, so companies must take the 

appropriate measures to institute a work ethic that promotes 

security.”

professionals to consider a future in energy by holding the firstever 

Young ADIPEC Forum. 

Held under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak 

Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development, 

Young ADIPEC is aimed at educating high school students 

between the ages of 14 and 17 about the wealth and diversity of 

career opportunities in the energy sector, encouraging them to 

pursue studies in the fields of science and engineering, and 

spreading awareness about these specialties. 

The programme launched in 2013 and continues to expand 

every year. This year Young ADIPEC announced its firsttime 

partnership with Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), and also 

launched its inaugural forum, which included a series of TEDstyle 

talks designed to engage and inspire youth to follow a 

career path in energy. 

With natural resources being the foundation of growth across all 

aspects of the economy, the forum emphasised the importance 

of promoting the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance the 

value of the energy sector, and deliver the greatest benefit for 

the nation.

“The Young ADIPEC Forum is a very important platform for us, 

as the UAE is working hard to empower youth, develop their 

leadership capabilities, and invest in their innovative skills to 

successfully enter a rapidly changing world. I would also like to 

praise the Young ADIPEC Forum participants here today, and I 

am very proud that this reflects their readiness to take on 

responsibility in serving the country,” said H.E. Sheikh Nahyan 

Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture and Knowledge 

Development, on stage during his speech at the Young ADIPEC 

Forum. 

Topics offered insight into how energy affects the everyday 

world, emphasising the importance of the sector to the economy 

and to society. 

This included a motivational keynote address from H.E. Dr Ali 

Rashid Al Noaimi, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Education 

Council (ADEC), on the importance of STEM (science, 

technology, engineering, and math) education for pupils wishing 

to pursue a future in the oil and gas industry. 

“ADEC is committed to fasttracking the development of the 

UAE’s education sector to prepare our youth for the future, and 

equip them with the expertise and experience to produce their 

own knowledge, rather than only consume knowledge. Youth 

need to have the selfconfidence, dedication, discipline, and 

commitment to excellence to drive the sustainable development 

of the UAE, and to take their rightful place in society to lead our 

country’s growth and prosperity,” said H.E. Dr Ali Rashid Al 

Noaimi, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Education Council 

(ADEC) on stage during his speech. 

With its emphasis on making positive study and career 

decisions, the Young ADIPEC Forum included a broad 

discussion on education choices. The aim was to help young 

people make informed decisions on school subjects and further 

study, that will give them the necessary qualifications to work in 

some of the energy sector’s most critical professions. 

The programme for the Young ADIPEC Forum also included a 

discussion by Emirates Foundation CEO, Clare Woodcraft Scott, 

on the importance of discovering and nurturing scientific talent 

in creating a culture of innovation. Nabil Al Alawi, CEO of Al 

Mansoori Specialized Engineering also shared the secrets to 



realizing one’s career ambitions, and respected commentator 

with The National and the Gulf Today, Khaled Al Ameri, 

discussed youth empowerment, and the creation of industry and 

country leaders of tomorrow. 

First held as part of ADIPEC in 2013, the 2016 edition of Young 

ADIPEC initiative represented a significant expansion in its 

efforts, both through the introduction of new elements to the 

programme – such as the Young ADIPEC Forum – and by 

increasing the number of participating students. While more 

than 700 students from across the UAE passed through the 

programme in its first three years, Young ADIPEC catered to 

around 450 in 2016 alone – bringing the total number of 

students who have taken part in the programme to more than 

1,000.

11/14/2016 dotemirates Taking a strategic approach to security 


Arabian Industry 

3 day 

Oil and gas companies must be proactive in adapting to the industry’s changing 

security landscape, according to former NATO Deputy Supreme Allied 

Commander for Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff. 

Speaking on the side lines of his keynote address at the ADIPEC 2016 ‘Security in 

Energy’ Conference, Sir Richard said the oil industry faced an increasingly complex, 

increasingly interconnected range of threats from technology and geopolitics. To counter 

this, they needed to shift their approach to security from one of reacting to threats, to one 

of preventing them. 

“Those operating in complex environments need to think of risk strategically,” said Sir 

Richard. “Security is more than having weapons and guards at your door – it is state of 

mind and stems from within the society in which it operates. 

“Unfortunately it is too often the case that the industry has a binary sense of security. 

Companies must understand that these risks are interrelated; what you do on the tech 

side, for example, could have an impact environmentally, socially, and on security.” 

Sir Richard said the oil and gas industries had a better understanding than many of how 

to manage security issues effectively, due to their experience of managing extensive 

critical infrastructure, often in sensitive environments. 

http://www.dotemirates.com/en/details/2603451?from=dot 1/2

11/14/2016 dotemirates Taking a strategic approach to security 

Companies needed to think “comprehensively, and cohesively about risk management”, 

building bridges with multiple stakeholders, understanding the environments they 

operated in, being aware of geopolitical, transnational, and local risks. This included 

working to build stability in fragile communities, recognising that good governance, 

healthcare, education, and employment opportunities all contribute towards their own 

operational security. 

“These risks are not easily defined, and cover an intricate kaleidoscope of potential 

threats, including organised crime, terrorist attacks, and cybersecurity breaches,” Sir 

Richard said. “This all comes back to the oil and gas industry, because so much of it 

operates in politically sensitive parts of the world, making it susceptible to infractions 

and threats of activism. 

“Oil and gas is of course fundamental to every aspect of economic and national 

development, and is a source of political and operational strength – these inherent 

characteristics of the industry also make it susceptible to abuse.” 

Two challenges Sir Richard identified as particularly relevant today were the current 

economic climate, which could lead companies to operate closer to their financial 

margins and take more risks, and the threat of digital attacks. 

He said it was impossible to overstate the importance of cybersecurity, citing the release 

of the Panama Papers as an example of how easily a secure network could be breached, 

exposing a company to a release of sensitive information or the risk of an attack on their 

networks. 

Government regulators should play a role in both establishing and enforcing protocols 

and procedures, holding people accountable for security breaches, and there must be a 

close working relationship between government agencies and private organisations, with 

constant communication and each one seeking the strategic advice of the other. 

However, one of the greatest threats to data security was the people who had access; and 

how careful they were. 

“Just like physical security is not just about having guards at your door, cybersecurity is 

not only about the data defences you have in place – it is about the people you are 

operating with,” said Sir Richard. “So often, cybersecurity breaches are the result of 

poor discipline and a misguided work culture, so companies must take the appropriate 

measures to institute a work ethic that promotes security.”

Emirati women a key partner in UAE oil and gas sector: Sheikha Fatima 

WAM 

3 day 

ABU DHABI, 10th November, 2016 (WAM) Emirati women are a key partner in the UAE's 

progress and development, thanks to the support of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin 

Zayed Al Nahyan, said H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's 

Union, Supreme President of the Family Development Foundation, and President of the Supreme 

Council for Motherhood and Childhood, on Thursday. 

She expressed her pride in the vital role that Emirati women are playing in the UAE oil and 

gassector. 

Sheikha Fatima made the remarks as she welcomed female employees of the Abu DhabiNational Oil 

Company (ADNOC) and its subsidiary companies. The delegation also included female executives 

from the global oil and gas industry attending the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and 

Conference (ADIPEC 2016). 

She was briefed about ADNOC’s plans to empower national women through three key objectives 

appointing a female national as CEO of one of the Group’s operating companies, increasing female 

representation in the Group’s management from 7 to 15 per cent, and increasing the number of 

Emirati female employees to 30 per cent. 

Sheikha Fatima praised ADNOC’s efforts to enhance women’s participation in the UAE oil and 

gas sector, and to provide them with opportunities to contribute to the country’s development. 

Notable figures who attended the meeting included Sheikha Shamsa bint Hamdan bin Mohammed 

Al Nahyan, wife of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Ruler's Representative in the 

Western Region; Sheikha Al Yaziya bint Saif bint Mohammed Al Nahyan, wife of H.H. Sheikh 

Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; Dr. 

Maytha bint Salem Al Shamsi, Minister of State. 

Commenting on the meeting, Dr. Sultan bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State and CEO of 

the ADNOC Group said, "The vision of our wise leadership and the ‘Mother of the Nation’, H.H. 

Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, encourages us to create opportunities for women to have successful 

careers in the oil and gas industry. What ADNOC is doing stems from the company’s commitment 

to invest in our talent and its belief that Emirati women bring dedication, commitment and creativity 

to the workplace."

ADNOC’s focus on empowering and developing people is an extension of the vision of the 

late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of Emirati woman as vital drivers in the progress and 

prosperity of the UAE, Al Jaber added. 

Fatema Al Nuaimi, Manager for Gas Strategy and Master Planning Unit at ADNOC, said the 

meeting with H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak reflects the UAE’s leadership, and Sheikha Fatima 

bin Mubarak’s, sincere interest in Emirati women. 

"This meeting is of great importance for us as leaders and employees of ADNOC, as it gives us the 

opportunity to meet Her Highness and listen to her ideas and advice on the role of UAE women in 

the oil and gas industry. Her Highness shared with us valuable guidance about the roles and 

responsibilities of Emirati women to support the development of the UAE," Al Nuaimi added. 

"H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak is a true source of inspiration and encouragement for every 

Emirati woman. Our meeting with her today was a lifetime opportunity to be inspired by her 

determination to continue working and help build our nation," Mona Al Alawi, VP of Operations at 

Al Yasat Petroleum Operations Company said. 

Fatima Ahmed Al Hosni, Team Leader at ADCO’s Al Rumaitha Oil field, described the meeting as 

"extremely valuable for myself and my colleagues at ADNOC. We listened to Her Highness’s 

positive and enlightening messages that encourage women to work, achieve and succeed." 

Vicki Hollub President and CEO of Occidental Petroleum said she was "inspired by H.H. Sheikha 

Fatima bint Mubarak's influential role in supporting Emirati women and her work in establishing 

and chairing several associations and institutions concerned with women's issues." 

"This truly reflects her keenness to support women and the important place women have in society. 

The results of these efforts are very clear today, in particular in the oil and gas sector where there are 

UAE national women occupying important positions within ADNOC. During today's meeting, I 

have seen first hand how the UAE’s leadership supports Emirati women to allow them to play a full 

role in the development of their country," Hollub added. 

The meeting concluded with a discussion on the important role of women in the development of the 

UAE oil and gas sector, in addition to initiatives that can contribute to women achieving their 

ambitions and become successful.

Adipec forum focuses on need for gender diversity 

Khaleej Times 

3 day 

'Women in Energy' conference highlighted the need for diversity at workplace, especially 

in the maledominated oil and gas industry. Danish Ambassador to the UAE and Qatar 

Merete Juhl said women make a valuable contribution to every business and across 

industries, and studies have consistently shown the importance of diversity in the 

workplace. 

"Roles that have been traditionally maledominated are witnessing an evolution, and 

women are increasingly taking the helm in leadership positions," she said during the forum 

held at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference. 

"This holds true for the energy sector now more than ever. The energy landscape is 

evolving, presenting women with a host of new and exciting career opportunities. By 

helping prospective candidates identify these opportunities and creating a supportive 

framework for career development, we are cultivating tomorrow's generation of female 

energy leaders." 

Global management consulting firm AT Kearney said the benefits of increasing gender 

diversity in the workplace are significant. "Closing the gender gap can alone add 12 per

cent growth to the OECD economy by 2030 and generate a positive impact on the 

profitability of companies," said Ada Perniceni, partner at AT Kearney. 

According to recent research from AT Kearney, female participation in the regional 

workforce has increased by 33 per cent since 1993. Growth in female participation across 

industries in the GCC ranges from 15 percent in Kuwait to 63 per cent in the UAE. 

"In the energy sector, the role of gender diversity is as important as for other industries," 

said Perniceni. "There is an untapped opportunity to be further explored and exploited. I 

believe that reaching gender diversity and reaping the benefits will require a concerted 

effort not only by the women themselves, but also through collaboration and identification 

of solutions in social networks, governments and companies alike." 

Petroleum Development Oman exploration director Intisaar Al Kindi said an inclusive and 

open corporate environment, one in which varying perspectives are encouraged, new ideas 

are embraced, and experimentation and 'outofthebox' thinking are valued, forms the 

'bedrock for innovation'. 

"The oil and gas industry has been a maledominated environment, and it only seems 

natural that organisations will find it difficult to optimise their performance if they are 

excluding half of the population," she said. "Women can often be more collaborative and 

communicative in their approach, which is very important when discussing, assessing, and 

implementing new ideas." 

Innovation will play an instrumental role in helping the industry operate more safely, 

responsibly, and efficiently, which is important not only for meeting current challenges, but 

also for the industry's longterm sustainability, added Al Kindi. 

"New technology and ways of working are helping us identify the opportunities and risks in 

our fields and address them in a more streamlined, faster and relevant manner. At times of 

crisis, when experienced staff are let go, innovation can suffer, so it is also vital that you 

have a pipeline of talented, technically competent, and balanced pool of staff who can adapt 

and work collaboratively with the latest technologies in a rapidly changing sector."

students. While more than 700 students from across the UAE passed through the programme in 

its first three years, Young ADIPEC catered to around 450 in 2016 alone – bringing the total 

number of students who have taken part in the programme to more than 1,000.

The UAE Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak 

Al Nahyan on Thursday urged the youth to tackle challenges in life with confidence and 

discipline. 

Addressing a large gathering at the Young Adipec Forum, the minister asked young 

Emiratis to be courageous. "You need to understand how to deal with challenges. You need 

to do things with utmost discipline and be selfaccountable. And soon you will get great 

results," Shaikh Nahyan said during the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and 

Conference. 

In the UAE, many leaders have set great examples in leadership, creativity and innovation, 

he said. 

The minister then narrated an anecdote involving the late Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al 

Nahyan and a physician. He took a bottle and poured water into a glass. 

"Once a foreign physician gave water to Shaikh Zayed who asked where the cap of the 

bottle was. The physician said he had thrown it away. Shaikh Zayed replied that the cap 

was not a waste and that each resource needed to be maintained. Even a bottle is 

resourceful," the minister said sharing the thoughts of a visionary leader.

Shaikh Nahyan said the youngsters must be innovative in whatever they do. 

"I am confident about the future. The Emirati youth can maintain the national identity. The 

Emirati youth has limitless aspirations. One needs to be innovative and productive." 

Shaikh Nahyan added that Emirati youth can become a main pillar to achieve the objectives 

set by the UAE. 

'Work now to enjoy later' 

Treat eight hours of school as a preparation for longer working hours at their jobs in future, 

said Ali Rashid Al Noaimi, directorgeneral of the Abu Dhabi Education Council. 

Addressing young Emiratis at the Young Adipec Forum, Noaimi said youth is the main 

investment for the nation. "What you are doing now will contribute for the next 2030 

years," he told the gathering. 

"Those who have proven themselves in the world of science are not smarter than you. "If 

you work hard today, you will have a better future. But if you choose to rest today then you 

will suffer later. We are changing the paradigm to build your future," he added.

The UAE Minister of Energy says oil companies that invest during the current downturn 

in prices stand to profit when the markets stabilise. 

His Excellency Suhail Al Mazrouie encourages firms with strong balance sheets to make 

investments now, warning that those that don’t will be slow to respond when demand 

rises again. Speaking on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), Mazrouie reminded the crowd the industry is 

cyclical. The national news agency WAM quoted him saying, “The very fact that oil had 

fallen so significantly in price could itself trigger a recovery. Lower costs acted as an 

economic stimulus for countries that were net energy importers, supporting growth in the 

global economy, and ultimately increasing demand in the commodities markets.”

The UAE realised the importance of diversifying the energy sector several years ago much 

before the oil prices began to drop, Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, 

Minister of Energy, has said. 

That helped the country to stay in the forefront in the region in terms of the solar and 

renewable energy sector, Al Mazrouei said. The state spares no effort to achieve its 

ambitions of raising the level of clean energy resources to 25 percent of the total energy will 

be used locally by 2030, he added. 

In a statement to Emirates News Agency, WAM, on the sidelines of the recently 

concluded Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, ADIPEC 2016, 

in which the ministry was a participant, Al Mazrouei said the UAE is in the forefront in 

producing innovative technologies, while supporting traditional and renewable aspects in 


"The establishment of a culture of creativity and setting up of a global organisation for 

research and development can play a decisive role in achieving these goals and interests in 

the energy industry," he stated.

Celebrating the achievements of the energy sector, the awards were presented to seven category winners 

during the ADIPEC Awards Gala Dinner, held at the glamorous RitzCarlton Abu Dhabi. 

Hosted by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), the event concluded the opening day of ADIPEC 2016. 

Winning entries represented individuals, companies, and projects that demonstrated ethical oversight, sustainability, 

and benefit to the community, setting benchmarks for best practice in the region and worldwide. 

Thirtyone nominees were shortlisted after the opening round of assessment by the Regional Select Jury (RSJ), a 

panel of experts from the region’s leading energy companies, academic institutions, and professional associations. 

Each shortlisted entry was thoroughly screened by members of the RSJ, with the winners selected after a 

meticulous evaluation process. As leading experts in their fields, the RSJ members provide a dedicated level of 

evaluation which narrows all the entries to a final selection. 

Omar El Farouk, LWD new technology director at Weatherford, and a member of the Regional Select Jury, said, 

“The ADIPEC Awards enable oil and gas companies to compete and showcase their achievements across a wide 

range of disciplines. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the Young ADIPEC Engineer submissions, 

which clearly demonstrated significant improvement.”

high school students between the ages of 14 and 17 about the wealth and diversity of career opportunities in 

the energy sector, encouraging them to pursue studies in the fields of science and engineering, and spreading 


The forum emphasised the importance of promoting the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance the value 

of the energy sector. Topics during the event looked into how energy affects the everyday world, emphasising 

the importance of the sector to the economy and to society. 

“The Young ADIPEC Forum is a very important platform for us, as the UAE is working hard to empower youth, 

develop their leadership capabilities, and invest in their innovative skills to successfully enter a rapidly 

changing world. I would also like to praise the Young ADIPEC Forum participants here today, and I am very 

proud that this reflects their readiness to take on responsibility in serving the country,” said H.E. Sheikh 

Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development, on stage during his speech

The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum 

Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 

posted continued global success, 

celebrating a milestone year in its 19th 

edition, and realising ongoing industry 

acclaim from world oil and gas leaders. 

More than 8,500 delegates, 2,000 exhibiting 

companies, 700 speakers, and over 95,000 

visitors from 135 countries gathered in the 

UAE capital for ADIPEC 2016, breaking the 

event’s previous records in international 

participation, and bringing the world’s 

decision makers, industry leaders, and experts under one roof to address the most 

critical issues surrounding the evolving energy landscape. 

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, 

President of the United Arab Emirates, ADIPEC 2016 was hosted by the Abu Dhabi 

National Oil Company (ADNOC), organised by dmg events, and supported by the 

UAE Ministry of Energy, Masdar, the Abu Dhabi Chamber, and the Abu Dhabi 

Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi). 

The event surpassed last year’s numbers in both size and content, spanning 135,000 

gross square metres of floor space, and featuring more than 160 engaging 

conference sessions covering both technical and non-technical functions in the 

industry – from the high-level Ministerial and Global Business Leader sessions, to the 

dedicated Offshore and Marine and Women in Energy sessions. 

Headlining speakers in ADIPEC’s distinguished Conference Programme this year 

included C-suite executives from national and international oil giants, including 

ADNOC, ExxonMobil, Total, BP, Gazprom, Oxy, Qatar Petroleum, ENI, and 

Wintershall. 

Speaking at the event, global CEOs and industry leaders emphasised ADIPEC’s

valuable role as a global knowledge-sharing platform for the oil and gas community. 

Rex W. Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil Corporation, said: “The theme 

of ADIPEC 2016 ‘Strategy for the New Energy Landscape’ is appropriately timed 

given the challenges and opportunities the energy industry must manage now and in 

the years to come.” 

“It is great to be here at ADIPEC. This is a wonderful gathering of our industry, and it 

is great to be in this city of Abu Dhabi,” said Bob Dudley, Group Chief Executive of 

BP. 

“ADIPEC 2016 has given us an international global platform,” said Mohammed 

Barkindo, OPEC Secretary General, who also headlined the event this year, officially 

launching the 2016 edition of OPEC’s World Oil Outlook report, and offering an 

industry briefing as part of ADIPEC’s prestigious VIP Programme. 

“I’m fascinated by the way this conference is growing each and every year,” said 

Mario Mehren, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors at Wintershall. 

The ADIPEC Technical Conference Programme attracted a record-breaking 2,775 

abstract submissions, which, after meticulous selection, paved the way to 106 

technical sessions on topics ranging from Exploration and Production to Operational 

Efficiency – marking more than a 30 percent increase in the number of technical 

sessions from the previous year. 

The event also celebrated the inaugural edition of the ‘Security in Energy’ exhibition 

and conference, bringing the best and brightest minds in cybersecurity and critical 

infrastructure under one roof to address the ever-growing challenges in today’s 

increasingly interconnected energy landscape, as well as the launch of the annual 

Young ADIPEC Forum, a series of TED-style talks designed to inspire the next 

generation of energy professionals. 

Jean-Philippe Cossé, Vice President – Energy at dmg events, said: “ADIPEC 

continues to provide a platform for conversation and dialogue within the energy 

industry. Each year, to support the conference content, we are fortunate to have more 

than 2000 exhibiting companies that showcase and present the latest technologies 

and solutions. The event continues to expand to meet the diverse requirements of the 

industry, and we look forward to building on this success next year.” 

ADIPEC 2016 featured 25 country pavilions including major oil producing countries, 

such as the US, Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia, as well as emerging markets, such 

as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Spain, marking the largest international participation in 

ADIPEC’s 32-year history.
