​

​Session 1 – United States
How the industry is being reshaped to succeed in the downturn
Overview – United States: One more time, the industry has been challenged to keep profit and growth under the pressure of a volatile low oil price. Technology, efficiency, effectiveness, leadership, partnership and creativity have become key success factors to transform the industry for the upcoming years. However, each act in the industry has taken its own path to continue adding value, generating a lot of new knowledge and lessons to learn related to cost reduction, portfolio re-balance, operational efficiencies and financial discipline.
                   
Focus: How the industry reacted to the new environment and what key players have learned.
