The Drilling and Wells Interoperability Standards (DWIS) group is hosting a strategy and user meeting on March 20, 2026, held at Patterson-UTI’s training facility near Houston Intercontinental Airport — conveniently happening just after the SPE/IADC Drilling Conference.
Two sessions are on offer, the first makes the case for adopting interoperable interfaces between advisory systems and rig controls (aimed at decision makers), and the second dives into the technology for those who want the technical details. Attend one or both!
On-site attendance is $60. Virtual attendance is free — the link will be sent out on March 19.
