The energy sector is undergoing unprecedented M&A activity as companies race to secure market position, operational synergies, and customer value. But these high-stakes moves often bring hidden risks: compromised safety performance, rising SIF (Serious Injury and Fatality) exposure, knowledge loss from workforce changes, and erosion of operational culture. The danger is greatest when organizations become so consumed by restructuring that they “take their eye off the ball,” losing focus on essential safety protocols.
Join our panel of oil & gas veterans and innovation leaders as they share proven strategies for safeguarding operations during organizational transformation. Through real-world case studies and practical frameworks, you’ll learn how leading energy companies navigate M&A turbulence while protecting their most valuable assets.
