PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Astros–The American Energy Society, a non-partisan and independent network of

executives to discuss new technological innovations that are having a
profound impact on the entire industry, from exploration and production
to efficiencies and operations.

Scheduled for November 13-14 in Houston’s Union Station at Minute Maid
Park – home field for the Houston Astros – “The
Digital Oilfield” will highlight three topics: deployed digital
technologies; next-generation disruptive technologies and new business
models; and critical security and risk factors. A concluding scenario
planning seminar will provide a framework for companies building
longer-term strategies around digital technology adoption.

Natural; Ryan Sitton, Texas Railroad Commission; as well as executives

Other event highlights include: Shark-Tank-Lite, a pitch competition
that features ten proven energy-technology startups; a ceremony
announcing the winner of the “Energy Writer of the Year, 2017”; and
complimentary Whiskey & Wine Tasting (Balcones and Hess).

“The rapid adoption of new digital technologies by the oil and gas
sector is fueling a historic market-driven revolution,” said Eric
Vettel, President of the American Energy Society. “However, like
most revolutions, change is chaotic, and not all of the adopted
solutions are rational. Those who lead the next generation of this
industry have a deep understanding of the disruptive technologies that
enhance efficiency, improve productivity, and provide security. Others
will find their companies left behind. In response to overwhelming
demand by our Members throughout this sector, we are pleased to host a
conference that highlights first-mover insights and practical,
value-driven solutions.”
