ADIPEC 2019 - Impressions of a 'newbie'

ADIPEC 2019 is here… larger, more inspiring and more dynamic than ever. With key speakers such as Condoleezza Rice, Udacity co-founder Sebastian Thran and Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources, Frank Fannon, among others, the show’s theme aimed at integrating innovation and diversity in a more conservative industry.

If you’ve participated, you would have noticed a little book in your welcome pack titled ‘Connecting the Global Energy Community’. That’s exactly how it felt. The Oil & Gas industry is a very tight knitted society where relationship management is your strongest skill. This may come as a surprise to an outsider as the perception is that oil & gas is a more product-centric trade. In fact, the key ingredient for a successful career in this area is the degree of trust and commitment you can insert in your work ethic. ‘Actions speak better than words’ is a fully embraced mantra. But these do not come easily and it’s no wonder that in the time these skills are nurtured people became more than partners, they became a community.

The same applies for SAS Environmental Services. With an experience of 20 years in the industry SAS has always had one goal in mind. Find a solution to a very challenging problem – drilling waste and everything associated with it. Different actors within the industry struggled with this obstacle, needing to keep certain KPIs in mind. While those are important for us and our partners, what we really want to achieve is a way to help the industry minimize its impact on the environment and prosper in the same time. A testament to our success is the miles we walked at ADIPEC meeting with our partners. Exciting times are waiting us and we’re looking forward to sharing them with you.
