The Aberdeen section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) has named Irina Krylova as its chair for the 2034/24 season.
Ms Krylova has worked with SPE for just over two years, having held the position of vice chair since July 2021.
Having grown up in the Soviet Union, the SPE chair is quoted as saying her motto is “no regrets”, she says: “Whatever the experience, there is always something to be learnt from it.”
Throughout her career, Ms Krylova has worked for industry heavy hitters such as Schlumberger (now known as SLB), Technip, and Shell.
The newly appointed SPE chair said: “Since the pandemic, we have worked hard to continue to provide high-quality conferences with technical exchange as the top priority.
“Although we are entering our 50th year with optimism, we need to acknowledge that the business environment is still turbulent.
“The energy transition and loss of social license for the industry from which we take our very name, pose challenges that we have yet to navigate. Just as important is energy security, both of supply and infrastructure.
“However, through collaboration and knowledge sharing, we can make a difference and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our Session Launch on 30th August.”
SPE Aberdeen is holding its Session Launch, titled ‘Looking ahead to 50 years of SPE Aberdeen’, on 30th August at the Maritime Museum.
The event will encourage delegates to network and collaborate with fellow energy professionals.
Ms Krylova will welcome attendees and present an overview of the evening ahead of the DEVEX Best Paper 2023 presentation.
The night will round out with closing remarks from SPE vice chair Stewart McIntosh.
