As the final sessions of the virtual 2020 SPE International Conference and Exhibition on HSE & Sustainability draw to a close, Ipieca looks back on some of the highlights from the conference.
During the five-day event, top industry leaders and experts presented their strategies and perspectives through plenaries and panels, papers and technical sessions.
As an endorsing partner, several representatives from the Ipieca secretariat and from Ipieca member companies presented on a range of sustainability topics in the oil and gas industry, from biodiversity and global conservation efforts to transforming the transport sector and the role the oil and gas sector can play in addressing sustainability challenges faced by the planet.
All talks are available to attendees on-demand for a period of 90 days after the conference. Please see below a summary of sessions from Ipieca representatives and related materials:
