Host Organisation: SPE Annual Caspian Technical Conference Digital Transformation: Enabling the Future Fairmont Flame Towers 16–18 October 2019 Baku, Azerbaijan www.spe.org/go/19ctce Conference Programme 2 www.spe.org/go/19ctce Welcome From the Executive Committee Co-Chairs 3 Dear Colleagues As conference chairpersons, and on behalf of the Conference Executive and Technical Programme Committees, we thank you for attending the SPE Annual Caspian Technical Conference. This year’s conference theme “Digital Transformation: Enabling the Future” will focus on various ways the oil and gas industry is using digital technology and how it can help our industry become more sustainable and value-adding. The velocity and magnitude of price volatility has pushed the industry to focus on chasing efficiency to enhance the value of the ultimate products. Digital technology is a key contributor to this objective. Increasing this value capture requires a deep understanding of the people behind the technologies. The modernisation of the industry generated by the digital technology is then required to adapt to a new cultural focus, utilising new skill and mind-sets. Oil and gas operators, contractors, service providers, universities and governments, all have a role to play in digital transformation so that it effectively improves the sustainability of our industry. Therefore, your active participation is essential. The conference theme will be explored further in the three keynote panel sessions – Past, Present, and Future; Sustainability, Growth and Profit and New Generation Talent and Human Factors. In these sessions, you will hear from high-profile speakers and panellists drawn from government, operators, service providers, advisory firms, universities and energy research companies. Twelve technical and several knowledge sharing poster sessions will encompass presentations across a range of technical topics. These presentations will offer the opportunity to share knowledge in an open and constructive environment. We hope that you take the opportunity to meet and network with old and new colleagues, discover new technologies and insights into the industry, engage in the debate, and share your experiences.

    3. Energy Reserves, Pipeline Routes and the Legal Regime in the Caspian Sea

    3. Energy reserves, pipeline routes and the legal regime in the Caspian Sea John Roberts I. The energy reserves and production potential of the Caspian The issue of Caspian energy development has been dominated by four factors. The first is uncertain oil prices. These pose a challenge both to oilfield devel- opers and to the promoters of pipelines. The boom prices of 2000, coupled with supply shortages within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), have made development of the resources of the Caspian area very attractive. By contrast, when oil prices hovered around the $10 per barrel level in late 1998 and early 1999, the price downturn threatened not only the viability of some of the more grandiose pipeline projects to carry Caspian oil to the outside world, but also the economics of basic oilfield exploration in the region. While there will be some fly-by-night operators who endeavour to secure swift returns in an era of high prices, the major energy developers, as well as the majority of smaller investors, will continue to predicate total production costs (including carriage to market) not exceeding $10–12 a barrel. The second is the geology and geography of the area. The importance of its geology was highlighted when two of the first four international consortia formed to look for oil in blocks off Azerbaijan where no wells had previously been drilled pulled out in the wake of poor results.1 The geography of the area involves the complex problem of export pipeline development and the chicken- and-egg question whether lack of pipelines is holding back oil and gas pro- duction or vice versa.

He adapted an untypical way of making music in which he was able to combine the traditional and the modern type. There are several substances that were brought in music of Azerbaijan by Garayev such as new themes, new images, and new means of composing. He achieved success not only in the areas of the national ballet, choral, and chamber music but also panned out well considering sonata for violin and piano and the violin concerto. These works represents main aspects and characteristics of Garayev’s music like implementation of national traditions while applying new methods of the 20th century, specifically neo-classicism and serial technique. In both sonata for violin and piano and the violin concerto, he reflects a perspective of synthesis of the two musical systems that are the Eastern and the Western.

    Endorser Statements (In Alphabetical Order)

    Endorser Statements (in alphabetical order) Rovnag Abdullayev, President, SOCAR (Azerbaijan) “The growing global oil & gas industry has also brought into the global agenda the mitigation of negative effects to the environment and climate change as well as environmental protection. Azerbaijan, as an oil producing country, has undertaken bold actions and achieved significant results during the past several years. SOCAR has joined the World Bank’s initiative “Zero Routine Flaring by 2030” together with global oil giants and was the fifth company to endorse the initiative. Through joining World Bank's initiative on gas flaring, SOCAR has achieved to decrease the ratio of flared gas to 1.7% in 2013 and 1.6% in 2014 accordingly. Moreover, the captured flare gas was channeled into gas transportation network to be delivered to end consumers. This fact highlights once again the importance that Azerbaijan pays to environmental protection and mitigation of climate change risks.” Solomon Asamoah, Vice President, African Development Bank “We welcome this global Initiative to end routine flaring no later than 2030. The African Development Bank’s strategy for the period 2013 – 2022 has inclusive and green growth as the overarching objectives and this initiative is clearly aligned with our strategic focus of sustainable development.” Børge Brende, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Norway “In Norway flaring, except emergency flaring, has been forbidden from the start of our oil production, to avoid wasting resources. Later, global warming reinforced our commitment. Flaring in the Arctic is especially damaging. Carbon from the flaring falls on snow and the glacier, accelerating the melting. We have all seen the disturbing pictures of polar bears without their natural habitat of ice.
