00:08In addition to the Seagray Paris Session and Seagray Symposia, the Seagray Energy Forum provides a great opportunity for stakeholders
00:16in the energy industry to come together for knowledge sharing and collaboration under one roof.
00:22Our goal is to facilitate the exchange of these important conversations that will shape the future of our industry.
00:28This year, over 300 technical paper presentations have been accepted across all 16 study committees and 50% are from
00:37international authors.
00:39In addition, we'll have a full technical exhibition with over 115 exhibitors, specialized workshops, professional networking opportunities, technical tours, as
00:50well as a full lineup of panels.
00:51The Seagray Energy Forum hosted by Altalink will be held September 21st to 24th, 2026 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
01:01For more information and to register, please go to seagray.ca.
01:05Thank you and hope to see you there.
01:17Hi, as Shell, we are super excited to be here at Seagray.
01:21If you look around, you see hundreds of people like connecting, talking, it's bossing with energy, which reflects the growth
01:28of the sector, which is super important to us.
01:31As Shell, with over 80 years of experience in transformer oils, we really contribute to the energy transition with working
01:39with our customers to reduce CAPEX, reduce OPEX and reduce fire safety risk, as well as have biodegradable solutions.
01:47Yesterday, together with Enercon, we presented a technical paper of 500 wind turbines, filled with our synthetic ester, Midel 7131,
01:57that increased the operability of the wind turbines, reduce the overall project cost and, importantly, reduce the fire safety risks.
02:08Here at the conference, we hear topics returning from our customers over and over again.
02:15Some of the key themes is like growth, which is super exciting, and we're helping our customers in their growth
02:21journeys.
02:22It's around fire safety, it's around biodegradability, and it's about reducing the overall end-to-end cost for operating grids
02:30and also the upcoming data center trends.
02:33Looking forward to the next few days to connect with customers, our partners, and other parties in the ecosystem.
02:40See you!
02:50Welcome to Paris Session.
02:52This is where all the experts meet to discuss the topic of the future.
02:58We have two main events going on in the Paris Session.
03:02One is the poster session.
03:03This is where you meet the authors, and you can discuss one-to-one what are their ideas, what have
03:09they been thinking about when they presented their paper.
03:13There is a 16th study committee, and each of them have a poster session of about four hours.
03:19In addition to this, we summarize all the papers in a special report, and based on these papers, we ask
03:27some general questions.
03:28And during the group discussion meeting, we have a contribution from delegates who can answer these questions.
03:38So, welcome to take part in both of these events, in addition to tutorial workshop and all the rest.
03:44And make sure you connect with all the international colleagues.
03:49Thank you and welcome.
03:59Well, thank you for that question.
04:02One advice, which I would give my fellow young professionals, would be being curious and trying to build that network.
04:11Personally, I had the opportunity to be part of SIGRE, where I was given an opportunity to present in one
04:18of the sessions on my technical papers.
04:22And from that presentation, you know what I found?
04:26I found some mentors, and I found some friends.
04:29And these are the people who have been able to give me advice, not on just the technical front, but
04:35also on non-technical front.
04:36This is an opportunity which SIGRE has given us, to be part of that community, where you can not just
04:44learn from the experts from your specific area or your specific region, from across the world.
04:51So, one advice for all my fellow friends, try to volunteer and try to step out of that comfort zone.
04:59It will take you not just this while, it will take you a far step ahead.
