Panel: Risk Management Strategies for Deepwater Exploration and Development

Moderators: Chris Ross, Senior Consultant, CRA Marakon; Richard Westney, President, Westney Consulting Group

Events in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) over recent years have led to numerous advances in managing human and environmental risks associated with drilling and production operations in the deep and ultradeepwater GOM. Changes in regulatory agencies, economic developments, and advances in technology have led operators and service providers to new business practices and strategies to improve drilling safety, containment,  spill response, and crisis management.

This panel will bring together executives from major players in the deepwater GOM: independents, drilling contractors, super-major operators, international national oil companies, and service providers.

Panelists:

• Bill Ambrose, Managing Director North American Division, Transocean
• John Shugrue, Partner, ReedSmith
• Steve Thurston, VP Deepwater E&P, Chevron
• John Davis, Manager-NCS Americas, Oceaneering
• Kevin Lacy, Senior VP Drilling, Talisman Energy
