The Perfect Storm: What is driving the need for Operational Excellence in Oil & Gas?
Applying the fundamentals and using a systematic approach to your improvement is critical now more than ever. Not only does our technology rapidly change, but so does the people using it.

Capital Projects in the time of COVID
The COVID 19 pandemic has imposed intense pressure on all parts of a business, but it has been especially hard on capital projects. Most companies have cut back their capital spend by 30% or more and have announced significant reductions in headcount. The pressure to successfully execute those critical projects that do remain on the docket is ever more intense.
The objective of this presentation is to provide some potentially helpful ideas to companies faced with the need to stretch every capital dollar, and to make hard choices on which projects to execute. Project portfolio optimization, rigorous front-end project development, and risk management are no longer nice-to-have processes but could become essential for the survival of the business.
The presentation will also touch on some critical aspects of people and technology that could make all the difference between project success and failure in current circumstances.
