Résumé
As Chairperson of the 2006 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, can you give us some highlights of this year's event? One of the areas of focus that has become very important to the industry is unconventional hydrocarbons. That is becoming a dominant theme in the business today and is rejuvenating North America, whether it is Canadian oil sands, which have gone from being considered marginal just a couple of years ago to a very significant opportunity, or all the tight gas and fractured shales. Our company is moving more and more in that direction as well. Another important topic that certainly will generate a lot of discussion at the conference concerns the issues about people and the technical skills critically needed by this industry, both now and in the long term. There also will be a panel on reserves classification, which has been a high-profile issue as well. And, of course, the focus on technology—what new technologies are needed and the advances that are being made today. The conference's opening general session and panel sessions do focus on those critical issues: heavy oil's part in meeting future demand, reserves classification, and the role of young professionals. Do you think the challenges facing the industry now are greater than they have been in the past? I believe they are. Some may disagree with me and say that the industry has always faced challenges and that this is not an easy business. But I do believe that today's challenges are potentially game-changers in terms of how and where we conduct our business. For me, it begins with the high commodity prices we are seeing. High prices certainly spur increased activity and provide economic incentives that are creating both current and future problems. The current problems you can see in the competition for people resources and for new opportunities and assets. They are driving up the very cost of doing business—from wages and salaries to seismic costs to drilling costs to land costs. For the long term, the big question is, "To what extent and how will demand for crude oil, natural gas, and refined products all be impacted by these high prices that have risen so dramatically in such a short period of time?" High prices also have attracted a lot of new competitors into the business, not just publicly traded companies but private equity, and caused the emergence of national oil companies much more rapidly than we otherwise would have seen. In summary, I believe these challenges—access to resources, people, and rising costs—would have arisen anyway, but they have been exacerbated by the high-price environment. I think these are pretty fundamental challenges for the business that are bigger, and perhaps could have a greater impact, than the challenges that we have faced in the past.
