As the industry continues to push the limits of innovation and remain profitable in a volatile market, new and exciting challenges are faced by drilling and completions.

Longer laterals, bigger completions, and strong focus on sustainability have all tested the technical limit of our operations. Recent breakthrough improvements in diagnostics, equipment, and software have strengthened our knowledge and have also presented new challenges.

This workshop will showcase the forward-thinking solutions created by our unique industry to the challenges we are facing today and those that are expected to arise in the future.
