摘要

The challenges of the drilling industry, technology advances, and the improvements needed to meet growing global oil demand in a safe, environmentally sound manner were the center of attention at the 25th SPE/IADC Drilling Conference held 5-7 March in Amsterdam. A final attendance of 2,079 was the highest since the record level of 2,113 in 2007, a clear sign of the industry's return to strength since the 2008-2009 global economic downturn. This year's attendance was the second highest in conference history.
