The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) will host a world-first event in October to discuss the topic of workplace discriminatory challenges, specific to the oil and gas industry.

The “Breaking the Cycle of Discrimination—Workplace Challenges in the Oil and Gas Industry” premier international workshop will feature a keynote address by Minister for Energy Fergus Ewing MSP followed by speakers from a number of major operating companies, service companies and industry bodies including Shell, ConocoPhillips, Total, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Decom North Sea and Oil & Gas UK.

The presentations will discuss critical diversity and discrimination issues and highlight how non-technical skills are of equal importance to those of the technical job functions.
