Rob Kelly will give insights into how BP Upstream has been revitalized to focus on BP’s strengths in Deepwater, Gas Value Chains and Giant Fields. Furthermore, Rob will outline how the production portfolio has been simplified over the past two years, improving focus and managing operational risk. He will draw upon examples from BP’s world class portfolio of around 50 projects, with five projects already in production. Finally, Rob will look at headcount and what professional recruits are required to drive the organization forward.

Ian Cummins will give insights into how engineering and quality professionals at BP are crucial to the overall success of the company. He will look at how they are responsible for designing mega projects across the globe that produce and refine hydrocarbons under some of the most extreme conditions. He will focus on how BP is delivering a portfolio of safe and reliable projects by ensuring that the engineering and quality disciplines focus on four key pillars for success; people, process, performance and learning.

Ryan Malone will give insights into why he chose to join BP and how his career has progressed rapidly from field locations in Wyoming and Louisiana, to experiencing the mega projects of Mardi Gras, Atlantis and Thunder Horse. He will discuss how these mega projects allowed him to appreciate the scale, reach and complexity of the industry and how such projects have global challenges – geopolitical, supply chain, organizational and technical. Ryan will conclude by outlining how these experiences have given him the foundation to lead the design and fabrication of one of the industry’s largest and most complex deepwater spars to date: Mad Dog Phase 2.

In recent years, drilling safety requirements have become more challenging as ultra-deep wells have demonstrated that basic undercompaction models are inadequate to predict pressures in HP-HT environments. The requirements of these wells have forced pressure prediction to adapt to environments where diagenetic processes and hydrocarbon maturation are dominant (unloaded environments), and where chemical compaction takes over from undercompaction as the dominant factor in determining rock property changes (secondary compaction environments). Adding to the complexity of the pressure prediction process is the interplay between shales and reservoir rocks.

Compliance with the first SEMS rule became mandatory in November 2011, and the SEMS II rule is likely to take effect in November 2013. These new regulations require offshore operators and contractors to maintain comprehensive safety and environmental programs to strengthen drilling safety and reduce the risk of human error.

The editors of Offshore have made their choices for the winners of the Five Star Award - the top five offshore field development projects for 2012. The projects were selected on the basis of best use of innovation in production method, application of technology, and resolution of challenges, along with safety, environmental protection, and project execution.
