Powering the SAP Oil & Gas Community
Message from the ProducersTo prepare for the 7th annual Best Practices for Oil & Gas (BPOG) conference,
Eventful Conferences conducted their usual trademark research with a host of
customers across the entire value chain. There is little doubt that the market
is in a better place than it was when we met in 2016, even if prices are still not
back up to the lofty heights of $100+ oil. Organizations have battled hard to
survive and thrive over the past 24 months. Many have had to tighten their
belts, batten down the hatches, and sadly cut part of their operations or some
of their people. Not all made it through. Those who did were reminded of the
discipline required. These companies are now seeking growth and want to ramp
back up without adding back the complexity and cost. Growing but keeping
it lean is their mission. At $100 oil, being profitable was mostly a function of
volume. At a vastly reduced price, maximum value per barrel is more to the
point. Companies want to bottle the discipline learned in the downturn and
harness those efficiencies to drive this profitability.
The ticket to success and the agility required to thrive is visibility. Visibility is
a product of quality, trustworthy data. This year’s conference theme is “The
Digital Turning Point”. The time is now and many companies have either taken
the leap to becoming digital enterprises or they have seen the potential and are
on a path to become a digital energy company.
We truly hope you’ll join us in learning from your peers at like-minded
companies and in jobs just like your own. We invite to you invest 3 days with us
to plot or validate your path to a powerful digital energy company. #BPOG as
always features 55 sessions, including 30+ customers sharing their successful
case studies spanning across all industry sub-sectors and lines of business. And
of course SAP will be on hand delivering exclusive future-focused roadmap
sessions covering the tools, demonstrations and tips & tricks your organization
needs to maximize your technology investments. Rounding out the event
are some of the industry’s hottest keynotes, and don’t forget the networking
opportunities! With senior leadership, decision-makers, business process
owners, analysts, super users, support teams, solution providers and more
attending, if you’ve got questions, someone at #BPOG has answers!
We hope the conference continues to deliver incredible value to your
organization and fosters lasting relationships amongst your peers. Eventful
Conferences takes great pride in the events we produce, and we had a blast
crafting this year’s event in collaboration with the entire Oil & Gas community.
We are excited to see you in Houston!
