On 16 March, IADC was pleased to host Alex Groh with Patterson Energy as a guest speaker for 18 IADC Student Chapter Members attending the IADC/SPE International Drilling Conference in Galveston, Texas. Alex’s presentation, titled “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Industry,” was both timely and highly engaging, sparking a great deal of discussion among student delegates.
