Permanent and growing activity (spending by global oil and gas companies increasing by 5% or so every year)
Energy demand will double from now to 2050
Access to reserves pushes new frontiers: arctic
A lack of engineers
An increasingly competitive market
Not a cool or new business industry – an old chap’s industry. Experience is paramount.

Engineering and Projects: Industry, players, jobs and careers The execution of a Project: the key features
Time pressure
High financial stake
Each project is a unique: technical content, project team, parties involved
There are well known methods but one needs to think out of the box to anticipate what will be the show stopper – ever different
The challenge is not technical but to coordinate all parties involved
