DESCRIPTION:
The role of the drilling engineer has changed in both depth and breadth. Technology development and application has shifted from operators to suppliers, and value generation is starting to shift from the speed of well delivery to a focus on the well’s complete life cycle. Well construction needs are also growing in the CCUS and Geothermal sectors, both of which bring their own distinct challenges to the table. The scenario we face is further complicated by a reluctance of westerners to enter the oil and gas profession which has reduced the number of Petroleum Engineering graduates from western universities. Meanwhile, Middle East and Asian universities continue to generate these engineers.
Join us for presentations followed by debate with the speakers and audience on important aspects for the way forward in the drilling engineer’s challenging role and needed skill sets.
