We are already working hard on the 2018 edition of OEEC on (22), 23 and 24 October 2018, but we love to take a moment to look back at a successful OEEC 2017. For three days Amsterdam was a meeting place for a host of international clients, OEMs, EPC companies and suppliers active in oil and gas exploration and production as well as renewable energy development. For a photo report of OEEC 2017, turn to pages 10-11. This year’s theme was Transformation through Collaboration. The conference covered themes ranging from asset integrity and decommissioning on the North Sea to upstream investments in the Middle East, West-Africa, Latin-America and Asia and from the latest developments in offshore renewable energy to human capital trends in the offshore and energy industry. OEEC 2017 also featured the 8th Offshore WIND Conference and the 3rd Marine Energy Event. For a concise summary of the conference, head to pages 6-7. The exhibition had an energetic buzz to it with professionals from all parts of the world and all layers of the industry meeting, exchanging information and doing business. We are both proud and grateful that – despite a slight decrease in exhibitor numbers compared to 2016 – we have welcomed so many new and returning exhibitors and an increased number of visitors. For an account of what went on in halls 1, 2 and 5, go to page 9. In addition to its core programming, OEEC 2017 also offered many side events including the launch of Nexstep, the National Platform for Re-use & Decommissioning in the Netherlands. We are pleased that this Newsflash features a guest column by Eric Kreft, Nexstep General Manager a.i.

GUEST COLUMN
‘ Taking the next step to optimize for the future’ Eric Kreft Nexstep General Manager a.i.
Nexstep, National Platform for Re-use & Decommissioning was launched during OEEC on 10 October 2017; a new entity where the Dutch State and national oil and gas industry have joined forces. We strive for optimum re-use and decommissioning of oil and gas infrastructure with the aim to contribute to the energy transition, while at the same time reducing costs. Nexstep is the first of its kind in the world where state and industry are jointly coordinating the national re-use and decommissioning agenda.
To refresh your memory; late 2016 EBN (State participant in oil & gas) and NOGEPA (branch organization for oil and gas operators in the Netherlands), together with supplier association IRO, presented the Master plan for Decommissioning & Re-use. This master plan presented a common view on why and how we could work together on the topics of re-use and decommissioning of oil and gas infrastructure. Where gas production is no longer economically viable, existing infrastructure could be re-used or re-purposed in particular for the emerging renewable energy systems. Where this is not an option, infrastructure is dismantled and processed in a safe, responsible and cost-effective way. In February 2017 it was decided to put this masterplan into practice with the establishment of Nexstep as one of the milestones only eight months later. The pace in which we have been able to set up this new initiative demonstrates the importance for all parties involved. Although Nexstep was founded by EBN and the oil and gas operators under NOGEPA, it is our mission to serve as an inclusive, collaborative umbrella
Offshore Energy Newsflash 37
organization that coordinates, facilitates and seeks dialogue on the re-use and decommissioning agenda for oil and gas infrastructure in the Netherlands. In order to stimulate and facilitate collaboration amongst key stakeholders we will develop and drive a dedicated innovation agenda, promote effective regulation and encourage knowledge transfer both nationally and internationally. Our organization will exist of platform staff who will manage the national agenda. A large part of tasks will be delegated to and organized through committees. We will start with committees on re-use & re-purpose, regulatory, wells, facilities and pipelines. Our first priority is to set Nexstep up for success in 2018. Currently platform staff and committee members are being selected. In the coming months we will move to a new office location. In 2018 we will focus on identifying and enabling re-use or optimised decommissioning of the current oil and gas infrastructure. We will distribute an annual report including the most actual forecasts for re-use and decommissioning. This will provide insight into the scale and timing of re-use and decommissioning and
will allow for more accurate scheduling and collaboration. We will develop a national re-use and decommissioning innovation agenda, to be in place end of 2018; a significant challenge. We realize that we need to connect with many stakeholders contributing to innovation initiatives and programs already in place. Finally, there is a need for adapting legislation and regulations to allow a safe, efficient and effective re-use or decommissioning of infrastructure. Nexstep is committed to contribute to the creation of a clear legal and regulatory framework in collaboration with all stakeholders. I am proud to be in the lead of this joint industry project with Nexstep as the priority deliverable of 2017. I thank all individuals and organizations that contributed to this achievement. Nexstep is the result of our joint efforts, something we can be proud of. It is the first step to optimize re-use and decommissioning in the coming decades. I invite everyone to connect with us to take the next step to optimize for the future.

Offshore Energy Conference summary The 2017 conference program offered twenty different meetings, ranging from two-hour breakfast or lunch meetings to half-day plenaries and attracted over 1,300 delegates.
The conference started in the afternoon of Monday 9 October with the Offshore WIND Conference. The theme this year – Leading the way – provided the framework for speakers from DONG, Siemens Gamesa, Van Oord, European Committee of the Regions and many others.
Industrialization offshore wind supply chain “We need to build wind turbines like we build cars,” said Pieter van Oord, CEO of Van Oord, at the Offshore WIND Conference. Europe is projected to have 60 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030, which requires adding 5 to 6 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity annually. “Right now, we are adding 3 to 4 gigawatts.” “The increase in volume will lead to the industrialization of the supply chain.”
Evolving lower carbon footprint More than ever the Offshore Energy technical program paid attention to the interplay between fossil fuels and renewables, and to energy transition. Part of the Offshore WIND Conference as well as one of the programs at “Community Square” on the exhibition floor, specifically addressed the possibilities and potential mutual benefits of collaboration between the offshore oil and gas industry and the offshore wind industry, in particular as a way to accelerate energy transition. The 6th annual Industry Panel, organized in cooperation with Deloitte, brought together speakers from Statoil, VEMW – the interest group and knowledge center for non-domestic energy and water consumers in The Netherlands – and Deloitte, to address the transition to a low carbon energy mix. The three speakers spoke about the outlook for both fossil and renewable energy sources, their deployment, what it takes for societies to switch to a new energy system and what this means for offshore contractors. “There will be demand for oil and gas,” said Sonja Chirico Indrebø, Vice President Strategy and Innovation, Statoil New Energy Solutions, “but they need to be delivered with an always evolving

Continuing in the morning of Tuesday 10 October, the 8th annual Offshore WIND Conference focused on the opportunities for the offshore wind sector over the short, medium and long term. Subtopics such as cost reduction, innovations, subsidies and cooperation with oil and gas were also discussed. New this year were a series of pitches by students majoring in offshore wind. 6

lower carbon footprint.” The New Energy Solutions department that Indrebø is part of, is Statoil’s new business area, established to drive profitable growth in renewable energy and other low-carbon solutions. Besides (floating) offshore wind and recently also solar, Statoil is heavily involved in carbon capture and storage. “For us it’s about being part of the transformation,” said Indrebø. “It’s about looking for opportunities and it’s about finding these in collaboration with others.” A clear fit with this year’s event theme “Transformation through Collaboration”.
Climate adaptation Where solutions to reduce CO2 emissions, also known as climate mitigation efforts, were addressed in several Offshore Energy conference sessions, climate adaptation efforts were the main focus of a co-located event: the Dredging Today Conference. Also organized by Offshore Energy’s mother company Navingo, this co-located event discussed climate change, climate adaptation and what that can mean for the dredging and marine industry. Speakers included major dredging contractors such as Van Oord and NMDC, port authorities such as Port of Chittagong and Port of Rotterdam, engineering consultancies such as RoyalHaskoningDHV and shipbuilders like Royal IHC and Damen Shipyards Group.
OEEC CONFERENCE
A huge thanks to all our speakers, chairpersons, partners, sponsors, advisors and conference delegates for making the 2017 conference program a success!
Subsea production Designed with the advice of our Conference Advisory Board and our supporting partners, Offshore Energy offered two hour breakfast sessions and two hour lunch sessions. This year’s topics: Decommissioning; Global Business Opportunities; Asset Integrity; The Rise of Renewables; Smart Maintenance Solutions for Offshore Installations; Transformation through your Human Capital and Ten Years of Innovation - what’s next?
Anton van Gulik, State Supervision of Mines
During the Ten Years of Innovation session, moderated by Robert Plat of Royal IHC and Guido van den Bos of National Oilwell Varco, three industry leaders and three nominees of the Best Innovation in Offshore Energy Award, looked at some of the most impactful industry innovations. The lineup consisted of Edward Heerema Allseas, Jan van der Tempel - Ampelmann, and Pieter Swart - Shell and Award nominees Barge Master, Gusto MSC and Next Ocean. Swart expects innovation in subsea production systems to grow. “Having expensive platforms has certain disadvantages,” said Swart. “So I think that subsea production is quite important for oil and gas going forward.”
Go big Beside developments in oil and gas and offshore wind, Offshore Energy attendees could also learn about developments in marine energy and geothermal.
“Go big and just do it, because I think that’s the solution, said Eric van den Eijnden from Tidal Bridge regarding the commercial development of marine energy projects. The main theme of the 3rd Marine Event organized as part of Offshore Energy was “The conditions for commercial success”. The meeting was developed in close cooperation with Peter Schreijgrond, board member of EWA, the Dutch Energy from Water Association, who was also the moderator, and with Dutch Marine Energy Centre (DMEC). Guided by the overall theme of commercialization of projects, speakers from EMEC (European Marine Energy Centre), Twin Valleys, Tidal Lagoon BV, Bureau Veritas and Delft University of Technology, among others, presented the latest developments in international marine energy projects, R&D and testing, certification, insurability and financing and the evolving trends and export markets of this sector.
Side events: Mexico, Qatar and more Over the years, Offshore Energy has become a place of choice for various groups to organize their own events. These are a true enrichment of the program and we highlight a few. “Opportunities in the Mexican Energy Market” was commissioned by Taxand and organized in cooperation with RVO, Netherlands Enterprise Agency. Hosted by Jimmie van der Zwaan, Taxand Netherlands and Manuel Tamez and Eduardo Orellana of Taxand Mexico, the Mexico side event addressed the opportunities for the offshore sector ensuing from Mexican energy reform. Speakers included Oscar Roldan, Head of the Data Repository of the Mexican National Hydrocarbons Commission and Nick Nooren, Chief Operating Officer of WTS Energy. “Qatar Business Update” was another
Offshore Energy Newsflash 37
side event, hosted by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Qatar & Dutch Energy Solutions. Speakers from Shell, Stork and TNO spoke about commercial opportunities in Qatar, in particular following decisions by Qatar Petroleum to increase gas production by twenty percent.
Geothermal For the fourth time, Offshore Energy organized Master Classes specifically for young professionals, together with InContext, a training consultancy. One was given by Marcella Croes-Schalken, Business Development Manager at OOS International, who took over the slot from CEO Léon Overdulve. Croes-Schalken addressed the key components of successful and strategic collaboration, in particular in relation to successful completion of innovative newbuild projects. The second Master Class was with Adrian Cretoiu, Managing Director Western Europe, Schlumberger who discussed the outlook for geothermal energy deployment and its potential for oil & gas companies. Cretoiu explained the state of play in geothermal, addressing its applications, the differences between shallow and deep geothermal and installed capacity globally. He challenged the young professionals to think of a business strategy taking into account a number of parameters including geology, technology, regulations and markets.

OEEC EXHIBITION
Offshore Energy Exhibition highlights This year 570 exhibitors covered halls 1, 2, 5 of Amsterdam RAI. The latest additions to the exhibition floor: matchmaking sessions and the Startup Zone. Offshore Energy welcomed pavilions from Iran, Scotland, Italy, Amsterdam IJmuiden Offshore Ports, North Sea Energy Gateway, Marine Energy, and the Holland pavilion. Back again was the Offshore WIND Expertise Hub where companies were interviewed on film and Community Square with two ON AIR talk-shows each day.
For the first time in its existence, Offshore Energy offered a special international matchmaking program. The sessions were organized by the Enterprise Europe Network and RVO Netherlands Enterprise Agency. 67 People participated in 139 meetings during the matchmaking event which took place in Hall 2. Another first on the exhibition floor was the Startup Zone in Hall 5 where new industry players were able to present themselves and showcase their innovations and products. With the Startup Zone, Offshore Energy 2017 offered entrepreneurs a platform to further develop their business and network by means of publicizing their proof-of-concept to professional businesses, international manufacturers, integrated solution providers and investors to drive marketability to the offshore energy industry. Among the participating startups were Offshore Wind Innovators, Saitec Offshore Technologies and Terre Quanta Corporation.
ranged from rejuvenation of the Southern North Sea to reshaping North Sea infrastructure related to cessation of production or decommissioning. On Wednesday Community Square started with a Deep dive into digitalization with DNV GL, the technical advisor to the oil and gas industry. The last program discussed how companies can turn decarbonization into commercial benefit. Talk-show participants included operators like Shell / NAM, ENGIE E&P, Centrica and Oranje-Nassau Energie, OEMs and OFS companies like Siemens and Baker Hughes and research firms such as TNO.
A big thanks to all exhibitors, partners, sponsors and suppliers for making the Offshore Energy 2017 exhibition a must attend event! Pavilions For the second consecutive year there was a Scottish pavilion at Offshore Energy, organized by Scottish Development International (SDI), with supply chain companies specializing in both the oil and gas and renewables sectors. Back for the second time as well was the Iran pavilion. As sanctions have been lifted Iran has become a hot topic within the offshore energy industry and is currently the place to be. The country boasts 70 percent of the world’s total oil reservoirs and 40 percent of the world’s gas resources. Furthermore, Iran hold the largest hydrocarbon reservoirs in the world and 9.3 percent of the world’s total gas reserves, making the country the alternative gas-supplier to Europe.
Launched in 2016, Community Square returned to Offshore Energy with crisp “ON AIR” talk-shows that were livestreamed on OffshoreEnergyToday.com. Community Square could be found at a prime spot in Hall 2, immediately beyond the entrance. Four “ON AIR” talk-shows took place. Topics on Tuesday Offshore Energy Newsflash 37
