Content That Reflects Your Priorities
The agenda for the Digital Oil & Gas Summit – USA is shaped by insight, not sponsorship. It’s built around four headline themes that reflect the sector’s most urgent challenges—identified in collaboration with our Advisory Committee of senior digital, operational, and technology leaders.
But it doesn’t stop there.
When delegates register, we ask about their current projects, strategic priorities, and investment timelines. That input, combined with data from our Intrinsic Intelligence Report, informs the structure and content of every session—from team challenges to workshops and private roundtables.
The result?
Every session is curated to address what matters most to the people in the room—ensuring discussions are timely, practical, and aligned to real business outcomes.
Strategic Themes
Grounded in the real priorities of U.S. oil & gas leaders, these four strategic themes shape every session across the two days—from workshops and roundtables to challenge-based discussions.
Think we’ve missed something? This summit is built around the challenges that matter most to the people in the room.
From Silos to Systems
Integrating Legacy Assets into a Modern Digital Architecture
Many oil & gas operators are still working within fragmented systems and outdated infrastructure. This theme explores how leaders are transforming legacy environments into connected, scalable digital platforms—without disrupting operations or compromising security.
Where to Focus Your Modernisation Efforts:
Integrate legacy OT with enterprise IT
Standardise infrastructure across sites and business units
Create interoperable data environments
Strengthen data governance for enterprise scalability
Adopt cloud and edge computing to support decentralised ops
Build scalable, future-ready digital foundations
Resilience Through Intelligence
Predictive, Autonomous & AI-Driven Operations
AI, automation, and predictive technologies are reshaping operations—from field-based decisions to enterprise-wide performance. This theme examines how data is being harnessed to improve safety, efficiency, and uptime while reducing risk and cost.
Putting Predictive Technologies to Work:
Apply AI and analytics to reduce downtime and improve safety
Develop and scale AI use cases across operations
Deploy digital twins for simulation and optimisation
Automate complex processes without losing control
Enable real-time performance visibility
Upskill and enable the digital workforce to adopt new tools
Built for Risk
Cybersecurity, Resilience & Critical Infrastructure Protection
As oil & gas operations become increasingly connected, the stakes for cybersecurity rise. This theme tackles how the industry is strengthening its digital defenses—across IT, OT, and cloud environments—while enabling innovation and remote access at scale.
Strengthening Your Cyber and Operational Defenses:
Secure IT/OT systems against evolving threats
Implement zero trust across distributed environments
Enhance threat detection and incident response planning
Improve resilience planning for operational continuity
Ensure compliance readiness for critical infrastructure regulations
Increase visibility into third-party and supply chain risk
Sustainable by Design
Digital Pathways to Lower Carbon and Leaner Operations
Sustainability is no longer a side initiative—it’s a business imperative. This theme explores how digital tools are enabling real-time emissions tracking, energy optimisation, and ESG performance, while maintaining operational integrity and commercial viability.
Turning ESG Commitments into Operational Reality:
Track and reduce emissions using real-time data
Automate and simplify ESG reporting processes
Improve energy efficiency across field and plant operations
Enhance supply chain transparency and sustainability performance
Balance environmental goals with safety, cost, and production outcomes
