With the changing energy landscape, natural gas is facing competition from renewables as a clean energy source but will still be the mainstay for several years to come. To remain a sustainable source of energy, gas development and production is faced with several challenges – from handling contaminants and GHG emissions, to developing frontier and marginal fields. With the growing demand for gas, depleting resources and challenging gas plays such as tight gas, unconventional, marginal, stranded/frontier and high contaminant fields need to be developed. In addition to cost-effective technology and innovative concepts, suitable regulation with attractive terms and conditions is critical to monetising such gas fields to meet the ever-growing energy demand.

Subsurface and development planning play pivotal roles in gas asset management, representing integral facets of the gas field exploration. This encompasses the strategic oversight and efficient handling of various elements involved in exploiting, transporting, distributing, and selling natural gas. A holistic approach is imperative in ensuring the effective utilisation and proper maintenance of assets while adhering to all necessary regulations and safety standards. Specifically, in the context of subsurface and development planning, the objective is to achieve optimal performance and sustainability across the operational lifecycle of gas assets. Gas asset management spans diverse domains within the natural gas industry, including reservoir management and surface facilities.

This session will delve into a comprehensive discussion on effective gas asset management practices, emphasising the significance of strategic subsurface planning, operational efficiency, safety, compliance, and sustainability. By exploring these key aspects in-depth and providing expert insights, participants will gain a nuanced understanding of managing gas assets effectively, contributing significantly to the success and sustainability of natural gas operations.
