Column | Kees Colofon Chairman’s message | july 2018 Chairman’s message Content & SPE - sponsors Dear SPE member, dear reader Recap | March & April Another (academic) year over. You will have seen the schoolbags dangling off the flag posts, swaying gently in the summer breeze, testimony to the successful dissemination, acquisition and application of knowledge to and by our upcoming Young Professionals. Congratulations to all and enjoy the blistering heat while you prepare yourselves for a career in petroleum! Universities in Delft, Utrecht, Amsterdam are good places to start, where active SPE Recap | May lecture SPE student chapters will help you develop the technical skills you need and connect you to the network of Petroleum Engineers and Geoscientists who may help navigate you through your studies and to your desired employer! The downturn is behind us, our industry is preparing for the future, eyeing new prospects, rebranding, mergers and acquisitions, and asking you what role you will play. Good Bugs versus Bad Bugs Existing offshore infrastructure will play an important role in conventional energy supply as well as act as stepping stones for renewable energy and the energy transition. Think of the old gas fields and their potential to safely store CO2 or indeed hydrogen using technologies fine-tuned by Lecture Announcement | September 2018 our petroleum industry. Or old platforms converted to electrical power gathering stations. One thing’s for certain in my mind, based on numbers published by EBN, we cannot yet do without petroleum. At long last, indeed the government has openly reaffirmed this. Welcome tax reductions for new investments were recently agreed allowing also the smaller companies to play a larger role in securing our countries desperate quest for a SPE Netherlands Membership statistics sustainable energy balance. We’ve all seen the solar panel subsidies, the “warmtepomp” (a near magical word in every Dutch coffee room), we’ve heard the green talk, and I encourage all these “ new”-ish technologies to find applicability, but will again advise anyone betting on one horse to check the impact, the cost and scalability of these technologies when viewed in the light of powering our country or indeed our world. In the YP SPEeddate 2018 Netherlands, solar panels would need to cover the provinces Noord Holland, Zuid Holland and Utrecht completely (leaving only open water) in order to meet Dutch energy demand. Imagine how much nature must make way for our energy needs if we were to go solar alone. In addition, the general public simply is not ready to pay for the cost. Geothermal energy is making great steps, with a wealth of relevant knowledge readily available from the SPE Netherlands Scholarship 2018 oil and gas business. SPE is here to connect both worlds. SC Delft Activities There is a lot of work ahead of us as Groningen is shutting its doors and we turn our sights offshore. SPE Netherlands will continue to facilitate informal discussions amongst peers as well as provide technical lectures, workshops, continuous education events, SPEed-dating career events, and much more, on which this bulletin will report. Encourage your colleagues to join us, share your challenges and successes with us and above all, have YP on the road a good time doing so! The best teams perform on high morale! I wish you a great summer and welcome you back to join us as we kick off in September! 2018 SPE awards Glück auf!
