Global Upstream Oil & Gas Operations & Solutions Conference

Introduction:

The oil and gas business is multifaceted, technically complex, highly capital intensive, and often confronted with potential risks and uncertainties. Today's petroleum industry deals with ever-increasing levels of complexity, price volatility, and competition.

This upstream oil and gas operations and solutions program aims to expose the participants to the many complex management issues presently confronting the Upstream Petroleum Industry and to strengthen their understanding of managing business success.

Innovative oil and gas recovery technologies are also changing the petroleum industry landscape. Managing international supplies, understanding financial terms, and comparing worldwide fiscal systems are critical to the upstream process in the oil and gas industry. To achieve maximum effectiveness, managers and professionals must continually expand their business knowledge and sharpen their skills.

This upstream oil and gas operations and solutions program is designed to achieve this goal in a time-efficient manner. Integration of Downstream Refining and Petrochemicals to achieve greater efficiencies is another critical factor in this business, which will be covered in this conference.

Upstream Oil and Gas Industry:

The upstream industry refers to the exploration and production sector. It involves searching for potential underground or underwater oil and gas fields, drilling exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring crude oil or raw natural gas to the surface.

By understanding the upstream operations of oil and gas companies, participants will gain insights into the complexities of upstream processes and how they contribute to the global energy supply chain.
