Say Yes
Wednesday, 6 May
General Session Stage - Exhibit Hall A
Executive Dialogue
We spend a lot of time talking about where the industry is going. This conversation is about what it actually takes to make it work today.
Careers in oil and gas are often shaped by a series of decisions - some small, some defining. In offshore drilling, “yes” isn’t simple. It means making calls without perfect information, balancing risk and performance, and working across operators and suppliers to deliver in some of the most complex environments in the world.
From an offshore drilling contractor’s perspective at the center of those decisions, this discussion will get into how they’re made in practice, what earns a “yes,” and what strong partnerships look like when it matters most.
