Operational Excellence in Oil & Gas Summit 2024

November 5-8, 2024 - Houston, TX, United States

The energy sector is facing a period of transformative change. Operators must balance the ever-increasing demand for power with decarbonization efforts, an ageing workforce, and monumental geopolitical disruption. In addition to this, technology adoption is not just a choice but a necessity for staying ahead of the curve. Knowing the key strategies for technological success and the best methods for implementing your digital transformations is imperative to maintain your competitive position within the market, and ensuring that operational excellence remains a core focus of your organization as the energy sector continues to transform, will allow you to succeed where others fall short.

The 15th Annual Operational Excellence in Oil & Gas Summit will provide you with the skills you need to address these challenges and more, through a mixture of case studies, workshops, panels, roundtable discussions, networking receptions, and technology demonstrations.
