Main Conference Day One - November 5

11:10 AM Cutting Through the Complexity: What Operational Transformation Really Takes in Oil & Gas

Today’s oil and gas leaders are juggling a tough mix : rising cost pressures, stricter regulations, workforce gaps, and the constant need to keep operations running safely and efficiently. There’s no shortage of digital tools out there, but the real challenge is making them work together in the real world across old systems, siloed teams, and complex processes.

This session is about what it actually takes to simplify operations at scale. We’ll look at how companies are moving beyond isolated tech pilots to real, measurable improvements in areas like reliability, safety, and compliance.
We'll talk through:
  • Common roadblocks in scaling digital initiatives and how to overcome them
  • How teams are streamlining day-to-day work by connecting data, people, and processes
  • Practical steps to reduce manual effort, improve visibility, and respond faster when things go wrong
  • What’s working when it comes to building more resilient, future-ready operations — without needing to replace existing systems
  • Best practices and technological look up for the next 10 years
