FT Energy Source Live
2022-04-07 | TX
What’s next for America’s transformation?
Soaring energy prices and the spectre of energy shortages in recent times have been stark reminders that the road to cleaner energy is far from smooth. The FT Energy Source Live summit will take a deep dive into the issues set to reshape the US energy industry in the years ahead, and ask what's next for America’s energy transformation.
Join industry CEOs, thought leaders, energy innovators, policymakers, investors and our world-class FT journalists to hear their expert insights. On a series of panels and roundtable discussions, they’ll look at the future of gas, tackling the methane challenge, how oil and gas pipelines will adapt to a lower-carbon world, before examining alternatives and opportunities in powering the US’s future in new energy industries from offshore wind to new nuclear and the rapidly transforming US midstream. Above all, they’ll ask whether the US can lead in the burgeoning new energy markets of the future.

Key Discussion Topics
Decarbonisation strategies
The wave of high energy prices and supply shortages in Europe, as well as the COP26 international climate negotiations have important implications for America’s energy transformation. What's next for the US energy markets?
Prospects for US LNG and the future of gas
Recent supply and demand dislocations have left the world crying out for US oil and gas. Will we see a new boom in US LNG? Will demand hold long enough to justify LNG expansion and investment?
Is there a significant role for the US in the global hydrogen markets of the future?
US policymakers have recently set out a ‘Hydrogen Shot’ initiative to slash the cost of green hydrogen by 80 per cent to $1 per kilogramme in the coming 10 years. How achievable is the US ‘Hydrogen Shot’ target?
Carbon removal and management in the US
Is carbon removal at gigaton scale possible? What is the investment case and the business model for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC), and can they be viable?
Tackling the Methane Challenge
How will the measures impact US oil & gas production, as well as prices? Will new rules lead to higher energy prices for consumers, or ultimately create value in new revenue streams in greener gas and job creation?
Offshore wind in the US - powering America’s green energy future?
What role will offshore wind play in the Biden Administration’s plans to decarbonise the power sector by 2035 and to reduce emissions by 50% from 2005 levels by 2030?

2021-10-26 - 2021-10-27 | Virtual
2021 & Beyond: More Energy, Less Carbon
In a pre-pandemic world, upstream O&G’s short and long-term futures were largely synonymous; with the former simply informing the latter. Now, with supermajor E&Ps shifting course into a net zero future, there is major disparity in what the next few years hold for the industry compared with the next few decades.
This discord is based on a dual challenge that the entire industry must face: How do we meet growing global energy demand and simultaneously reduce carbon emissions in the hope for a more sustainable future?
In 2021 alone the IEA expects:

Global energy demand to increase by 4.6%.
Carbon emissions to jump by 1.5 billion metric tons

Future of Oil & Gas 2021 offers a full spectrum of responses to this challenge from supermajor operators to independents; from oilfield service companies to global tech providers; from consultants to governors.
FOG21 provides the opportunity to piece together your own picture of impending marketing trends and drivers and expose oil and gas’ true potential.

On September 9th, President Biden announced employers with one hundred or more employees will have to mandate employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have unvaccinated employees undergo weekly testing. With this new order, employers must also give workers paid leave to get vaccinated or recover from any side effects of getting vaccinated. Employers that don't follow the vaccine mandate or paid leave requirement can face fines of up to $13,653 per violation. Experts from Beveridge & Diamond will discuss this new OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) and what it means for your organization.

NOIA ESG Webinar: Repurposing Offshore Oil and Gas Facilities for Alternative Uses, Including Zero and Low Carbon Solutions
2021-09-21 11:00 - 12:15 (America/New_York) | Virtual
With the new administration's announcement of 30 GW of offshore wind power by 2030 (a moon-shot effort), it's aggressive climate goals, and BOEM's recent Request for Interest (RFI) in Commercial Leasing for Wind Power Development on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (GOM OCS), the potential for re-purposing some of the GOM infrastructure has gained momentum. At the same time, with 1688 platforms remaining in the GOM and 318 of those platforms on expired oil and gas leases, BSEE is turning up the pressure on both current platform owners and their predecessors to take action.
When Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005, they seemingly foresaw this conundrum and included Section 388 to instruct the Secretary of Interior to allow the GOM infrastructure to be used "for energy-related purposes or for other authorized marine-related purposes". BOEM's predecessor (MMS) prepared a Programmatic EIS in 2007, and BOEM promulgated regulations at 30 CFR 585 Subpart J in 2012. The Gulf Offshore Research Institute (GORI) has been researching the feasibility and process for re-purposing the end-of-life infrastructure. Kent Satterlee, Executive Director of GORI, will share some of the work GORI has undertaken to determine both the ecological and beneficial uses of the infrastructure and what opportunities exist for platform and pipeline owner/operators.

America’s long-awaited offshore wind boom means upwards of 30 GW of offshore wind capacity could be installed by 2030, far more than front-runners such as the UK have installed to-date. Installing that kind of capacity will create around 80,000 jobs and demand for vessels and services of all types.

Join us as we cover

The vessels needed to serve the US offshore wind market
Where those vessels will be built
How the US market’s vessel requirements differ from Europe’s
How to enter the US market

Panellists include:

NOIA Webinar: Ransom Response & Best Practices
2021-05-26 10:00 - 23:15 (America/North_Dakota/Center) | Virtual
Ransomware attacks are highly disruptive, involve multi-million dollar ransoms, and handling these attacks requires very different skills from traditional breach response. Dealing with ransomware threat actors involves direct negotiation with these groups, and critical decisions on whether to pay the ransom, negotiating the lowest possible ransom and preparing the organization for the possible consequences of non-payment, public disclosure etc., as well as developing and implementing a post-breach plan.
Booz Allen's Incident Response leader Jerry Bessette, leveraging his 24-years of FBI experience, has led numerous clients through complex ransom negotiations to achieve the best possible outcomes. Booz Allen is committed to its client's success and we look forward to sharing with the NOIA membership the lessons learned and keys to successful outcomes when dealing with Ransomware Threat Actors.
