General Meeting: Why are Downturns always the Driver behind Innovation?
ABSTRACT of Presentation
In the current “lower-for-longer” oil and gas price environment, offshore and subsea petroleum prospects face significant cost hurdles to stay economically competitive with other hydrocarbon sources and lower risk areas.
During upturns and shortages in the petroleum industry, technology may take a back seat to production runs, delivery volumes and schedules, and installation schedules.
But when there is a downturn in the petroleum industry, everyone looks to new technology to be the savior. New technology is perceived as the mechanism to shift the paradigm.
This presentation will look at historical events and technology metrics from past upheavals in the petroleum industry to stimulate discussion to predict what might be next in our industry.
