Managers and experts of the French energy major participated in the conference sessions, workshops, exhibition and panel sessions. Stephane Michel, managing director of Total E&P Qatar, gave his keynote speech at the opening ceremony.
Keith Muir, an expert in Asset Integrity at Group level, came from France to make a presentation on integrity management, summarising areas that require special focus. He also commented on how to be more proactive in hazard identification and prevention.

A lot of productive and innovative thoughts were exchanged, and it has imparted us with many stimulating ideas to combat the challenges we face in our offshore operations,” Pierre Leschi, Vice-President, Al Khalij Asset, said. “With the extension of Total’s Al Khalij Licence by Qatar Petroleum, Total is building on new methods for enhancing our recovery rate”.
