The 2022 IADC Drilling Middle East Conference & Exhibition was held 18-19 October in Dubai, UAE. Although the Middle East market has remained resilient through the downturn, this region continues to face challenges around workforce development, drilling efficiency, safety and security, and equipment maintenance. The IADC Drilling Middle East 2022 Conference & Exhibition provided a forum for industry leaders and drilling professionals to discuss such challenges and share best practices.
