IADC World Drilling 2010 Conference & Exhibition
"Sustaining Margins in an Unconventional World"

The global economy re-trenched significantly during 2009, and the onset of the eagerly awaited recovery is an open question. What strategies should the drilling and completion industry adopt to sustain itself in this unconventional world? In prosperous times, "more of the same" or "straight ahead" can be a sound strategy for success. But in rocky economies, courses of action for success may be more akin to manoeuvring along a series of hairpin curves than driving a straight road.
