IADC committees undertake initiatives that influence safe, efficient, and environmentally sound drilling operations worldwide.
COVID-19 Update
IADC is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and evaluating what impact it may have on IADC committee meetings. We will continue to monitor the situation closely to determine the best course of action beyond that time, using the World Health Organization as an ongoing information resource. Please visit specific Committee meeting schedules for the latest cancellation/rescheduling information.
IADC provides an important environment to meet with and learn from others in the industry, many of whom are competitors, and under other circumstances, we would not have that opportunity.

About IADC Committees
IADC boasts two types of committees – Standing and Divisional.
Standing Committees are the legacy or founding committees of IADC, such as HSE and Tax. Divisional Committees have been created as the needs of our industry dictate, for a specific purpose or project, including Underbalanced Operations/Managed Pressure Drilling and Advanced Rig Technology (ART).
