​Join Lieutenant Colonel Jason Harris for an inspiring overview of leadership and No Fail Trust.  At a time when the oil and gas industry is responding to cultural, political and regulatory changes, Lt Col.

​Creating a contemporary and holistic safety program and work culture not only creates empowered and ethical performers, but also serves the communities in which you operate and where your employees live. Oil and gas leads the way in industrial safety, because it is the right thing to do for the “work family” and it supports good business. When safe, healthy, and inspired employees leave work, they are engaged community members and outspoken advocates for their company. Conversely, employees who experience workplace injuries, low motivation, and a lack of connection to the work family are adversely impacted at home and can damage company image. Understanding the community interests in an oil and gas producers current and future work is important and helps to create and sustain beneficial and authentic relationships. 

​With the failure of OPEC+ members to make a substantial cut to crude oil production, the forecast for crude oil prices remains grim as demand dries up across the world.  The crude oil and natural gas markets in North America are now faced with a series of unique and difficult challenges not seen in decades, if ever.  At the same time as crude oil and associated gas production is falling victim to a reduction in the price of crude oil, the spread of COVID-19 has disrupted both domestic and export demand of natural gas in North America and across the globe.  This session will provide a forecast of how long low price pain will endure, characteristics of operators who are most likely to survive and testimonial from individual operators who are navigating the choppy waters ahead.
