In 2018 he helped the then (Oil &\; Gas Authority) OGA with a project to align their data with industry for the la unch of the NDR. In 2019 he began his current role with the NSTA. \n\n Dav id Lecore - David is Head of Data Services and Compliance at the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA). \n\n The NSTA license\, regulate and influen ce the UK oil and gas\, offshore hydrogen\, and carbon storage industries. NSTA support UK energy security\, drive emissions reduction from UK suppl ies\, and help accelerate the transition to net zero to realise the potent ial of the North Sea as an integrated energy basin. \n\n David’s NSTA ro le involves ensuring data is reported in a compliant manner\, which in tur n allows that data to be subsequently disclosed\, so that anyone can reali se the value it holds. \n\n The NSTA’s data compliance focus is not just on current data\, but legacy data acquired or created decades ago. The da ta types now commonly reported are also expanding: Seismic\, per well per day production data and infrastructure data have all commenced active repo rting and disclosure during David’s tenure. \n\n One of David’s curren t focuses is assisting DESNZ in finalising the carbon dioxide storage info rmation and samples related legalisation\, in the 2023 Energy Act\, to ens ure that carbon storage licence related information will be retained\, rep orted and subsequently disclosed. \n\n David has worked in the oil industr y since 1985\, initially for UK major oil companies\, moving into a major oilfield services company in 1997\, then to the NSTA in 2016 \n\n -------- ------------------------------------------------------------ \n\n \nThis event is organised by a charity - Code The City. \n\n CTC suggests a small donation to help with charity admin costs\, but if this is a barrier plea se just change the ticket price to what you can afford.
