1. Western Europe Region Report Tracey Dancy
Good morning everyone – I am pleased to join with Jerry and Randy et al in welcoming you to Stavanger for the 2008 Western European Regional meeting. Thank you again to NPD for hosting this event for us.

As Jerry has said, I am the Regional Lead for the Western Europe region. My role with Energistics is a voluntary one – I am the Marketing Executive for Paras Ltd, a management consultancy based in London, and we in turn work solely in the E&P arena, advising on business strategy in IS and exploration. As such, I am able to bring my skills in marketing together with my rapidly increasing knowledge of the people and companies in the industry to help with co-ordinating the work of Energistics in Western Europe.
As the Lead, my role is simple – to help increase awareness and deployment of the industry standards that Energistics and their member partners have developed, and to increase membership numbers. Without contributing members, further development of these vital standards “is not possible “– a phrase we heard only too often in Rome last week, but in this particular case is very relevant.

3. Events across the Region
Intelligent Energy
NDR8
PNEC
EAGE
SMi
IQPC
In order to achieve that increased awareness, I , together with the corporate backing and skills that Paras have, support the work of Energistics at exhibitions and conferences, helping on the booth and talking to anyone who is interested – and occasionally to those who didn’t think they were interested at all! Usually I pass interested parties over to Jerry to explain the more intricate details.
 Some of the events we have covered in Europe in the last year or so have included the EAGE in Rome, Intelligent Energy in Amsterdam, and SMi in London – though I have also aided and abetted at conferences outside of my region, in particular the NDR8 conference in Cape Town earlier this year.

4. National Data Repositories
NDR8 – Cape Town
NDR9 - ?
You have heard today of the role that Energistics will play in arranging NDR conferences in future , and I will be part of the committee working on future conferences, in particular working with representatives from Schlumberger and Landmark on managing the programme and promotional areas. Paras has been intimately involved in developing a number of National Data Repositories or Banks since helping to set up CDA in the UK, including projects in Colombia and Peru,
Part of my role at NDR8 in Cape Town involved writing the Post Show report, available on the PetroleumAgencySA website, and that was also published in the Digital Energy Journal, June/July 2008 edition, also available for download from the DEJ site.

I am privileged to be entering my second year in this role, and I thought it might be appropriate to not simply list the members that we have in my region, but have a quick look at the way that list has grown in the past few years.
As you can see from this map of Western Europe, back in 1991 Energistics – or POSC as it was known as at the time – was thin on members outside of the US.

However, by 2005, shortly before the change from POSC to Energistics, the picture was already somewhat different, with key companies in the region helping to drive the development of these vital standards.

As Energistics, the growth has continued steadily across the region, and we currently have 28 members out of a total membership of 102 in Western Europe alone. This number is continuing to increase, not only with oil companies, but also key vendors and service companies wanting to be involved – this is great news for the industry in general, as these vendors are of course using the standards in their ongoing software developments.

We hope to see membership increase again over the coming year, particularly in countries where there is no representation of Energistics as yet. – I personally would like to see this map completely obliterated by member names!
