As operators get into gear for Q2, production figures show steady signs across the lower 48, while oil prices are beginning to show incremental increases in recent weeks. But the fact remains, that E&Ps now need to create new cost-savings opportunities whilst conserving capital to reap future savings.

Undisputedly, production chemicals are an integral, albeit expensive part of the production process. E&Ps are now thinking on their feet and aggressively restrategizing their chemical programs ; but the questions now is:

With the demand for cost-efficient chemical programs at an all-time high, and new challenges arising unremittingly, there has never been a more pertinent time to gather production engineers and chemical specialists working in unconventional oil & gas in one room.

The Production Chemicals Optimization Congress will for the first time address every single aspect of production chemical programs, focusing on significantly reducing costs in current sub-$60 price environment.

Ultimately driving this congress is the need for operators to reduce one of the most expensive well costs and work collaboratively with chemical remediation programs providers to do this with volatile oil prices.
