PETEX Forum! 

The 26th edition of PETEX will be witness to one of the most interesting and interactive debate to date. The PETEX Forum, which has been a constant feature at our shows, attracting an ever growing audience, will return on the final day of the conference, on Thursday 17 November.

This year, the topic is: What is the new normal? Just another cycle or a structural change in the hydrocarbon industry. 

Promising a vibrant, provocative and stimulating discussion on a range of topics: redefining Corporate strategies, the Energy mix, the crew change, the Industry’s response to intense pressure across the sector, the demise of some Small Caps, bankruptcy of other Industry instiutions, the impact of increasing Global/Social conscience, and retrenching by  the Service Sector, the Forum will be headlined by key Industry figures.
