SPE OFFSHORE EUROPE 2017 EMBRACING NEW REALITIES: REINVENTING OUR INDUSTRY
SPE Offshore Europe 2017 is taking place at a time when confidence levels are gradually climbing following the longest and most significant downturn the oil and gas industry has seen in decades.
Over four days, under the central theme Embracing New Realities: Reinventing our Industry, 65 free-to-attend technical presentations and a programme of business breakfasts and topical lunches, will provide opportunities to debate, knowledge-share and take new courses of action that will shape the future of the industry.
The 2017 Conference Chair, Catherine MacGregor, and her executive committee of 17 senior international industry figures, have put together a focused and hard-hitting keynote programme that will tackle the issues the industry is facing as it adjusts to the realities of the ‘new normal’.
Catherine MacGregor, who is also President, Drilling Group, Schlumberger said: “The industry’s technical and financial performance has been challenged for some time now. Learning the lessons from the most severe downturn for the past 30 years, there is no doubt that the industry must reinvent itself. The traditional industry response to market downturns, which has included halting exploration investment, decreasing development activity, pressing for price reductions throughout the supply chain, and letting talented people go, is no longer viable.”
Conference programme The opening plenary session promises a packed hall with a top-level line-up of industry CEOs. Ben van Beurden, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell; Bob Dudley, group chief executive of BP; Pedro Parente, CEO of Petrobras and Robin Watson, CEO of Wood Group will address the hundreds of visitors attending the opening plenary.
