Why Attend

To the founders of Saga Wisdom, SÖKKVABEKKR is not just a conference – it’s the flagship of our movement in continuing education. The value of this event, like any other, is exhibited in the caliber of the content and its people. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have built such a large and prestigious tribe of industry’s finest who we look forward to receiving in Fort Worth, TX. These community members all share a common passion for subsurface petroleum sciences and the field development decisions they serve to address. This event caters to reservoir and completions engineers, geoscientists and asset leads. Workshop topics include: Completions Engineering, A&D and Asset Valuations, Decarbonization, Production Optimization, Field Development Planning, Digital Engineering (Data Science, ML and AI), RTA and Production Modeling, Sealed Wellbore Pressure Monitoring and Integrated Diagnostic Reservoir Characterization Workflows. The event also features special presentations including a keynote talk from the one and only Tom Blasingame.
