The IADC Drilling Engineers Committee will hold its Q1 2022 Technology Forum on 30 March under the theme “Drilling Workforce of the Future.” How can drilling engineers prepare for what may be long-lasting changes in our industry in relation to an effective workforce? In this forum, we would like to explore potential gaps between current industry problem-solving techniques and those of the future, how drilling teams may be organized, repurposed and reshaped, and the most effective tools and skills needed to address future needs.
