On Day 2, from the perspectives of “Cost Reduction” and “Efficiency Enhancement”, we organized three sessions titled “IOR/ EOR”, “Gas Separation and Utilization” and “Robotics/ IoT / Big Data” respectively. In each session, Japanese companies and institutes with strong expertise introduced their latest challenges and the future vision about its applicability to E&P projects.
As a concluding session of the forum, 6 technical experts from domestic E&P and engineering service companies were invited to discuss the topics of the forum. While it focused on “Cost Reduction”, “Efficiency Enhancement” and “Alliance” as the main themes, extensive discussion alluding to technological seeds or needs was made.
Further, exhibition was also organized during the forum. Japanese companies exhibited variety of their promising technologies in connection to the three main session themes of Day 2. Some demonstrated their robot technologies which are expected to be effective in resource development field. In the exhibition room, exhibitors and participants exchanged open and constructive dialogue, extending the opportunity of this forum to serve as a platform to bridge between needs of the oil and gas producing countries and technological seeds.
Through the “Technical Solutions Project” activities including this Techno Forum, JOGMEC is determined to enhance Japanese companies’ solutions to the technological challenges faced in oil and gas producing countries.
