The Next Generation Oil and Gas group (NGO&G) is a consortium of 65 CEOs and senior Corporate Officers from small, mid, and large cap O&G producers who are active in their companies on a strategy level, but also have an eye for next generation technologies. Together with Joe Thompson from GDS, the NGO&G group organizes highly interactive 3-day strategy sessions. The program topics for the summit are set entirely by industry members.

The summit combines high-level roundtable discussions with next generation technology solutions that address the most pressing challenges the industry faces. The format is structured enough to effectively organize roundtable discussions on all the most pressing topics, but open enough to allow for changes that will inevitably occur when 65 industry leaders interact over 3 days. Some of the key discussion topics include:

• Exploration: "Acquisition, Processing & Interpretation "Pre-Salt Challenges West Africa & Frontier Exploration Efforts - East Africa"
• Drilling Rig Availability, HPHT Environments, Horizontal Drilling, Drilling Waste Management
• Completion & Production "Next Generation Completion Technologies - Ultra Deepwater Environment, Subsea Well Intervention"
• Associated Gas Utilisation "Nigeria's Gas Master Plan, Zero Flaring Policy & Gas to Power"

The NGO&G Group has an advisory board called the NG20. The purpose of the NG20 is to set the program agenda for the summits and also to nominate potential participants. In order to view the photos of our most recent NG20 meeting, please follow this link: Photos of the NG20 Meeting.
