The conference, strongly supported by international oil companies, independents and state-owned companies, will see presentations by the following companies (current as of 4-29-16): Apache Corporation; BP; BHP Billiton; Chevron; ConocoPhillips; Hess; Kuwait Oil Company; Noble Energy; Petronas; Saudi Aramco; Shell; and Total. The power-packed two and half days of programming will feature technical presentations, a panel discussion, full e-Proceedings on topics important to all involved in E&P data and information management, and numerous networking opportunities.

Speakers from around the globe will share real-world issues, best practices, developments, and cross discipline advances that address ever expanding and complex data demands in today's oil and gas industry. Changes in key technologies require innovative thinking and practical solutions to implement quality data-driven decisions that meet enterprise-wide technical and financial interests. Acclaimed for handling the discussion with balance, "PNEC facilitates the professional discussions needed in today's complex data systems integration and management and assists companies in cost control in this low price oil environment," said Mark Peters, Vice President and Group Publisher of PennWell's Offshore and Oil & Gas Financial Journal magazines and the company's domestic oil and gas events. "There is no industry more reliant on accurate, comprehensive, and well-managed data than oil and gas, for which informed decision-making is paramount when billions of investment dollars are at risk. This is the largest gathering of data management professionals from oil and gas companies in the world. As business plans continue to emphasize the proper integration of operations, seismic data and more information on production throughout the value chains at oil companies, it is a vital resource for the industry."

The 2015 event attracted over 650 attendees from 27 countries, and featured the largest-to-date exhibit hall floor of more than 5,500 square feet.

This year the exhibit hall will feature over fifty exhibitors from leading technology companies.
