A great few days in Rome last week with our DCA family for the annual congress. It was an opportunity to reconnect, exchange ideas, learn from each other, and, of course, enjoy a few laughs along the way.
OPTIMUM’s François Gandard was on stage again this year, alongside Nicolas Van Heyghen from SUBTERRA, sharing insights from a complex landfall project in southern France.
From sharing lessons learned to exchanging best practices with colleagues – new and old – from across Europe, and beyond, it was a great reminder of the value of collaboration.
And while AI is reshaping many aspects of our work, the congress was a great reminder that the real difference is still made by people : engineers, designers, drillers, mud engineers, steering engineers, and field teams who analyse and solve challenges every day – through their expertise, dedication, and teamwork.
