Following the success of our first workshop, the event will provide an exceptional opportunity for all stakeholders, including Mexican regulatory authorities, government organizations, research institutes, NOCs, IOCs, independent operators, rig and service companies, consultants, professional associations, and academia, to continue the dialogue addressing the geological and operational risks of offshore exploration and production as well as discussing new initiatives and solutions. We feel the time is right to meet again in a workshop setting to exchange ideas and focus on addressing the common challenges facing the industry.
