Advanced Rig Technology “Spark Tank” Event Returns 27 August

The IADC Advanced Rig Technology (ART) Spark Tank is coming back! To encourage innovation in the drilling industry, IADC ART is restarting the Spark Tank event series after a short hiatus since 2020. This hybrid event will be held at Transocean’s office on 27 August from 8:30-11:30 AM. 

The Spark Tank is envisioned as a forum to “spark” new thinking. It is an opportunity to provide active and aspiring technology entrepreneurs with a new opportunity to pitch their products and ideas to a panel of drilling contractors, operators, and service companies (“Sharks”).

The in-person Spark Tank presentations will allow the Sharks to ask questions and provide technical and business feedback from the perspective of the product’s intended end user. The Spark Tank will be moderated by an officer of the Advanced Rig Technology Committee.
