The Oil & Gas Future Forum is virtual and free to attend, and will comprise three panels starting at 2PM GST on 27 October–join us to hear from industry experts and to ask them your questions directly!

Panel 1 – Hydrogen on the Horizon

In our first discussion of the day, we will explore the potential for hydrogen, the realities behind exploiting this growing resource, and its role in the energy transition. We will also look at the mix of green and blue hydrogen that can best serve energy companies of the future.

Jeffrey McDonald, Hydrogen Pricing Specialist at S&P Global Platts, will discuss the topic with Jeffrey Benoit, Vice President of Strategy, Marketing and Hydrogen Initiatives at PSM.

Panel 2 – How HSE will transform post-pandemic

Our second panel will tackle how HSE will transform following the pandemic, strategies that companies had to employ during COVID-19 to ensure the health and safety of their workers, and how HSE can be employed strategically, with innovation in mind.

Shaun Hannam, EMEA head of HSES at McDermott will discuss HSE transformation and lessons learned during the pandemic with May Faraj, head of environment and sustainability at WSP in the Middle East.

Panel 3 – Training the engineers of tomorrow

Closing out the day, we will talk about the people who will shepherd the future of the oil and gas sector–young engineers. What do the engineers of the future need to know in order to succeed? How do we train and upskill engineers to allow them to adapt to a shifting energy landscape?

Dr. Ismail Labed, director of studies for petroleum engineering and the School of Engineering, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society at Heriot-Watt University Dubai will discuss the topic with Afsha Dokadia, head of learning and development at LTHE.

To learn about the post-COVID oil and gas sector, with all of its potential and all of the corresponding challenges, join us on 27 October at 2PM GST for what promises to be a day of insightful and fascinating discussion with industry experts.
