This will be my sixth SPE Offshore Europe conference and each one has been in the shadow of a different market outlook – or at least a changing one.
The first question everyone asks is, ‘what will this year be like’?  I personally think we are moving toward a more positive outlook, but very cognisant of the challenges we face.  For example, operators remain committed to well intervention related activity that maximises production and maintains well integrity, however the exploration and appraisal market still remains suppressed.

With another major conference just a week around the corner, we sat reminiscing about the number of trade shows the team have organised or attended.  Collectively, we realised it’s hundreds!  
One of the most common questions we’re asked is, “what value to do you get out of trade shows?”.  And the simple answer to that is, “you get out, what you put in.”
