HPHT wells will continue to push the limits of existing technology. In order
to meet the demand of future requirements, the industry will need to work
closer with suppliers of technology to craft solutions capable of drilling into
harsher and hotter environments. The intelligence of the drill will continue to
increase in intelligence. The development of smarter tools will take time and
money. This initiative will need to be driven at many layers, funded over
many years and supported by the DOE, Universities, Oil Field Service
Providers, Semiconductor Suppliers and Passive and Magnetic suppliers.
Trendsetter Electronics has been assisting the design and supply chain
process for 15 years. We are currently positioned for component level and
sub-system solutions supporting HPHT wells up to 230C 30Kpsi

A welcome note from the HPHT Programme Steering Committee
Dear industry colleagues,
HPHT operations are integral to the growth of the oil and gas industry. Getting the most out of your HPHT operations requires
continuous learning and refinement of techniques and technologies to push the envelope as we continue to explore new areas,
face new challenges and capture opportunities.
The Programme Steering Committee came together in Aberdeen for extensive discussions to draw up the key topics for
the 2010 HPHT Wells Summit. We formulated an agenda with a number of new topics to cover this year including:
n S uspension and abandonment of HPHT wells
n R isk management, emergency response planning and safety of HPHT operations
n H PHT well design: From concept to well construction
n E ffectively managing uncertainty in pore pressure, fracture gradient and the transition zone
n D elimiting the operational limits on drilling, logging & testing tools
Other major themes that have been highlighted for discussions at this years meeting include:
nW ell architecture and delivering a safe HPHT well
n Well integrity challenges
n E merging technologies and technology gaps for HPHT
n O perational considerations for HPHT well evaluations
The conference format is unique and mixes presentations, panel discussions, roundtables and workshops to ensure that you are
able to learn first-hand from the practical experience shared amongst both expert speakers and the wider delegate audience.
We look forward to seeing you there.
