VPD Access – “U.S. Land: Lessons Learned from the Current Pandemic”

Original Air Date: 15th July 2020

In This Virtual Panel Discussion:

Managing a drilling rig – and keeping it in tip-top shape for optimal performance – has become significantly more challenging this year amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Quarantine requirements, supply chain logistics and weakening oil prices have all added to the industry’s stress levels. However, no challenge is more important than keeping our rig crews safe and healthy. In this virtual panel session, HSE professionals from key drilling contractors will engage in a discussion around best practices for rig worker guidelines as more rigs return to work while dealing with COVID-19.
