The Mission

On 10th May 2018 the City of Aberdeen will once again be the host location for Oilfield Connectivity: The Next Generation Digital Oilfield. The conference, sponsored by Hughes, Comtech EF Data, ND Satcom and Newtec, will be the 11th programme in the series dedicated to communications in the Global oil & gas ecosystem, bringing to the market an ICT-oriented dialogue at the crucial interface of demand for ICT solutions by the energy vertical and the supply of those solutions from the connectivity services industry.

The 2018 Oil & Gas Context

The current oil market is still challenged by high stocks and sluggish prices.  However, a Russian-led non-OPEC alliance with OPEC, has agreed to extended production cuts of about 1.8 million barrels per day, aimed at diminishing global inventories and strengthening oil prices.  In addition, increasing global demand and a clearer idea of how digital technologies can drive down costs, should enable a continued, steady rise in oil prices, from the 2016 US$40/bbl low, to the current level of around US$64/bbl, and beyond.
