A look back at our greatest forum ever—As the New Future begins…

The SLB Digital Forum 2022 has attracted a record number of participants—more than 1,250, representing 66 nationalities—with the most comprehensive program to date. We involved twenty-two partners, and fourteen plenary speakers, which included Microsoft Chairman and CEO, Satya Nadella and Saudi Aramco President and CEO, Amin Nasser.

The event theme “Connecting for a New Future” came to life in the many industry collaborations that were either announced at or formed, signaling a new era of collaboration. We saw the announcement of new collaboration with Saudi Aramco to work together on the sustainability platform, and partnerships with Cognite and Sensia for the production data platform and digital solutions.

Please take the time to view some of the plenary talks, read technical presentations, or see the latest software solution animation that might be exactly what you are looking for.

Stian Øistensen Jørgensen, VP Intervention Alliance at AkerBP, tells us that people, culture, and a clear vision are as important in the digital realm as the technology itself.
