2nd Technical Meeting – December 2006 – Hosted by DONG Energy, Copenhagen, Denmark
Following a successful kick-off meeting, hosted in Milan by Eni, the Members decided to focus their discussions on specific technical areas relating to Geopressure Management. These technical discussions sit alongside Organisational Capability; Stakeholder Management; and Knowledge Management and Best Practice as areas that these meetings will focus on.

The topic chosen for the December meeting was ‘Predicting “shale” and “reservoir” pore pressure from seismic velocities’. The meeting was conducted in a roundtable format, with presentations, including case studies, being fully discussed and issues debated. There was also a guest presentation from Peter Japsen (GEUS).

The next meeting will be focused on the Operations side of Geopressure Management and will be hosted by ConocoPhillips in Stavanger

Kick-off/ 1st Meeting – June 2006 – Hosted by Eni, Milan, Italy
Following the pre-launch meeting on the 20th April, it was agreed that the first full GMN meeting will take place on the 15th/ 16th June. This meeting will act as a kick-off meeting for the network, where the members will share:

• How geopressure management is structured within their company
• What different programs and tools are used within their company
• What their current geopressure management challenges are
• What their geopressure management projects are

This will lead into further discussion and agreement on the technical scope for the network and the network format

Pre-launch meeting – April 2006 – Hosted by OTM Networks, Aberdeen, United Kingdom
The GMN pre-launch meeting took place on the 20th April at Exploration House, Science and Energy Park, Bridge of Don. The aim of the meeting was to discuss the aims and objectives of the GMN, establish the need for the network and decide on future actions. Following presentations from OTM and Eni, discussions surrounded how to practically implement the GMN and finally all attendees decided to pursue the development of the GMN and attend a kick-off meeting in June
