It is widely recognised that the roll-out of smart metering in Great Britain will represent the largest and most complex change-over programme in the energy industry for decades. It will have a profound impact on the services that consumers receive from energy companies, as well as on vital ‘behind the scenes’ activities such as settlement and network management.

In October 2008 the Government announced its intention to mandate a roll out of electricity and gas smart meters to all homes in Great Britain with the aim of completing the roll out by the end 2020. The Government published a ‘Consultation on Smart Metering for Electricity and Gas on 11 May 2009. This Consultation was aimed at confirming the shape and high-level requirements for the domestic roll-out. It also set out proposals to mandate a smart/advanced meter roll out for small and medium non-domestic sites.

 

Decisions set out in the Government Response Document provide the platform to launch the major programme of implementation work that will be needed to ensure that the Government’s goal of a full roll-out of smart meters by the end of 2020 is successfully achieved. To realise all the benefits fully, the roll-out of smart meters will need to be effectively designed, planned and co-ordinated at every stage. A major programme of work therefore needs to be taken forward under an Implementation Programme before the mass roll out of smart meters begins.

 

Join over 300 senior level industry experts during Smart Metering UK & Ireland 2010 and discuss the way forward in Europe’s largest smart metering roll-out!

Currently, there is one viewpoint – nuclear power is the only source able to increase its share in the world balance and thus meet the growing needs of people in energy. According to some estimates, the number of nuclear power reactors will treble by 2050.

Kazakhstan is not going to stand aback from this global trend. With its significant reserves of natural uranium and production of components for nuclear fuel, Kazakhstan can potentially become a key player in the world nuclear market. Kazakhstan possesses the world’s second largest reserves of natural uranium produced by use of the most effective technique – the so called underground leaching.

The Government of Kazakhstan plans to set up a complete vertically integrated nuclear power cycle. En route from a mine to the nuclear power station, uranium has to undergo a long chain consisting of five links: production, conversion, isotope separation, manufacture of fuel pellets, and manufacture of fuel assemblies. To date, Kazakhstan has two production processes: uranium production and manufacture of powders and fuel pellets. All missing links of the nuclear power cycle are being added – conversion and uranium enrichment, and manufacture of fuel assemblies.

Kazakhstan has realistic plans to develop nuclear power. In concert with the world’s leading companies in the nuclear industry, Kazakhstan plans to have 16% of the world’s conversion capacities by 2020. With regards to enrichment, Kazakhstan’s share may reach 7%. Kazakhstan’s share in manufacture of fuel pellets will significantly increase up to 13%.

The plans for 2020 also include commissioning of at least one nuclear power station in Kazakhstan, and preparations are already being carried out.

Managing safer facilities under cost, human, process and environmental constraints

A recent study indicates that about 85 percent of all workplace injuries and fatalities can be avoided. Most accidents stem from human error or inattention that can be prevented by making sure employees have been properly trained for their jobs. Are you doing ALL you can to decrease the costs of workplace accidents?

Did you know that plenty of injury and ill-health costs are not covered by insurance such as lost time, sick pay, damage or loss of product, repairs to plant and equipment, production delays, fines, loss of contracts?

An injury to a worker using an unguarded drill can cost USD 80,000 and that does not include any court costs. Are these figures you can afford to spend in the current cost conscious economy?

Maximising growth through innovation.

The Offshore Production Technology Summit 2010 provides a unique forum for offshore practitioners to meet and discuss the current challenges facing the industry. Issues ranging from subsea production, new subsea technologies, deep water production, mature fields, CCS, EOR, reservoir characterisation, logistics, maintenance and more will be discussed through an array of international case-studies, workshops and presentations 

Few industries have escaped unscathed from the economic uncertainty of recent times. Energy and continuous process industries in particular have been severely affected by a decline in profits, caused not only by the drop in the price of oil, but also by a reduction in consumption by cost-conscious customers keen to reduce usage. The knock on effect of lower profits has of course been budget cuts and thus projects of both operational and strategic importance to the business have been postponed or cancelled during the past year.

2010 will be a different matter altogether. No longer can vital operational and maintenance work be postponed and, perhaps more importantly, businesses are realising that without development and innovation, investment in new technologies and techniques, they could continue to wallow in the depths of recession while their braver competitors gain advantage, emerge stronger and in a better position to take advantage of when more prosperous times return.

IQPC has developed a comprehensive learning programme specifically tailored to help plan and execute shutdown projects more effectively within the constraints of economic and resource scarcity.

The operator case study-led programme delivers experience-based, proven insights which will be of direct relevance to your 2010 planning strategy. You will take away, practical lessons and ideas that you can apply to your job the minute you return to the office. The operator-led agenda will deliver current insights into:

• Developing shutdown and turnaround strategies to help maximise asset value
• Fostering a continuous process improvement environment to enhance shutdown management and embed a long-term shutdown culture in your organisation
• Improving integrity management across sites to save thousands on industrial insurance policies
• Identifying new technologies and techniques that can improve efficiency in and reduce the cost of performing vital TAR projects such as pressure cleaning and jointing replacement
• Implementing techniques to boost and maintain productivity within the TAR environment
• Executing outages as safely as possible and in compliance within HSE guidelines and requirements

The 3rd Annual Gas Transport and Storage Summit 2010 will examine the current challenges facing the industry through an array of international case-studies, workshops and presentations.

The objectives of the European Union regarding sustainable energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas, fossil fuel price oscillations and, especially, the role of agriculture in safeguarding the environment all demand new impetus to implement the “Green Economy”. A possibility for improving the income of agricultural companies, already faced by increases in production costs and falling commodity prices.
Income from sustainable energy in agriculture is much more than just a challenge. It is an opportunity, that many companies in the primary sector have already grasped. Mention need only be made of figures for agro-energy in Italy and Europe, where production of sustainable energy is now in excess of 3,000 billion kW/hours.
Multifunctionality in agriculture also passes through clean energy: complementary income to primary production, closely linked with agricultural activity, that also helps reduce energy bills for fossil fuels, to the advantage of the environment and company financial statements.
New forms of energy - as a source of income and the key for strategic and effective interpretation of a new awareness combining environment, business and development - are now brought together at VeronaFiere.

Bioenergy Expo is the exhibition of sustainable energy designed to offer new income opportunities for agricultural entrepreneurs and present information and opportunities to energy sector operators concerning the generation of energy from agricultural sources.
The event is scheduled alongside Fieragricola - and the last edition event attracted an impressive 127,500 operators.

Previously called National Power New Zealand, Power & Electricity World New Zealand is the definitive strategy-level event for New Zealand`s energy sector, where energy chiefs, policy makers and solution providers meet to shape the future of their industry.

With current high oil prices and the forecast of Australia`s energy consumption to increase by about 2% a year in the next 25 years, there is the need of further developing alternative fuels and encourage the production of liquid fuels from gas fields and coalfieds.

This has led to a renew interest in coal as an alternative feedstock for the production of transport fuels and chemicals. By using coal conversion technologies, such as coal-to-liquids, the vast coal resources in Australia could become an important alternative to crude oil.

In April 2009 the Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson AM MP, has launched the world`s first coal-to-liquids demonstration plant to use Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) technology. Australia is coal and gas rich, with hundreds of years of reserves. Technologies that convert coal and gas to ultra-clean diesel and jet fuel have the potential to replace Australia`s declining oil reserves and make us self-sufficient in liquid transport fuels.

The Australian Government is encouraging the development of coal-to-liquids in Australia through its election commitment to use the $500 million National Low Emissions Coal Fund to support projects generating minimal carbon emissions which utilise Australia’s extensive coal resources.

The 5th annual Coal to Liquids and Gas to Liquids Conference will explore the prospects for UCG, coal liquefaction, commercial advantages, environmental issues and a review of some of the projects in Australia and overseas.An update on GTL will also be included.

Create a Sustainable Change to your Behavioural Safety Practices

This conference is a fantastic opportunity for health and safety professionals to get together to discuss best practice experiences and learn from one another’s mistakes and successes.

HSE Energy and Resources brings together safety experts from the oil and gas, mining, utilities and construction industries, to discuss how to improve the working environment for employees in the high-risk energy and resources industries.

In an environment where non-compliance with safety regulations can result in serious injuries or even fatalities, it is pivotal to ensure that you are doing your best, working proactively to mitigate these risks.

 

Producing oil remote from infrastructure is not too much of an issue – you stick it in a tanker, it is fairly stable and you can easily ship it to a refinery or market.  Gas is more complicated – it is extremely unstable in its natural state and needs extensive processing to make it safe for transportation.  These processes are not easy to do on a floating platform the middle of the ocean.  But, in order to get at the oil you first have to do something with the gas.  Associated Gas 2010 is aimed at oil field developers who have to find a way to deal with the gas, avoiding costly delays.

With increasing international pressure (and, in many places, legislation) to reduce flaring and venting gas the oil producers must find some other way to deal with the associated gas, or they will no longer be able to exploit remote oil fields.  Associated Gas 2010 will look at ways in which the gas can be utilised and sent to a market where some, if not all, of the cost can be recuperated. 

 

 

Key topics to be addressed:

• Treating natural gas as a valuable resource
• Balancing the utilisation of flared gas with the safety purposes of flaring
• Development of GGFR solutions in a wider perspective
• Gas utilisation and financing - the operator view
• CDM opportunities and challenges
• Converting flares to fuel

The energy sector in Ontario is undergoing tremendous change with the passing of the Green Energy and Green Economy Act (GEGEA) and, with it, come significant environmental and socio-economic opportunities, and challenges.

To meet infrastructure demands as we adapt to a more sustainable, green energy economy, the Ontario Government has earmarked a number of long term transmission projects in areas with significant potential for renewable power generation. In turn, local distribution companies (LDCs) are now obligated to connect distributed and renewable generation projects to the distribution grid, including two-way distribution for those customers who want to install solar panels on their roof or connect larger solar, wind and biofuel projects.

The Ontario Power Authority has also come out with one of the most aggressive new Feed-In Tariff programs for renewable energy in North America which will make investments in renewable energy and community power projects competitive with conventional long term investments. Accordingly, the Ontario Energy Board’s mandate continues to grow to ensure the appropriate regulations are in place.

This Insight Information conference will offer a focused, practical and informative two-day program of thought-provoking panels and presentations, delivered by leading experts and decision makers in the field. Hear about the latest developments underway to transform Ontario’s economy into a green economy and the economic growth and employment prospects that go hand in hand with these developments. For added value, you may wish to take advantage of the in-depth, interactive workshops that will help you successfully navigate new funding programs being offered by the Ontario Power Authority.

We look forward to seeing you March 1-2, 2010!

Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition (SSTB) was developed to explore the latest technical and operational innovations in the area of subsea tiebacks. Through use of brief case study presentations, followed by extended interaction between the presenter and the delegates, the SSTB conferees goal is to promote open discussions of the key issues related to the burgeoning subsea technology area and share best practices. Topics include design, flow assurance and installation issues.

In a dynamic world it is important to stay ahead of developments in technology, regulation and practice. This is particularly true in the field of hydrocarbon flow measurement, where the measurements made have a high economic impact.

Appropriate flow measurement is of great importance in the production of oil and gas, allowing improvements in recoveries to be made and ensuring the accuracy of custody transfer. For everyone involved in hydrocarbon flow measurement, it is important to share knowledge and to maximise the benefits that accurate measurement can bring.

The South East Asia Hydrocarbon Flow Measurement Workshop was established by TUV NEL in 2001 to provide a forum for the exchange of flow measurement experience in the region. The workshop has brought together operators, regulators, equipment suppliers, engineering contractors, service companies and researchers to share information and experience. It is the only major forum to address the changes in flow measurement practice and technology that affect this region.

Power & Electricity World Western Australia is a forum where industry leaders, regulators and professionals meet to discuss, debate and ultimately map out WA`s future energy direction. This well established and respected event is a clear conference leader.
