An open discussion of our industry's challenges and successes.

The 29th Annual Deepwater Technical Symposium will be held on August 25 + 26, 2026 at the Hilton Riverside. Supported by dedicated volunteers from the American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE) New Orleans Chapter, New Orleans Geological Society (NOGS), and Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Delta Section, our mission is to provide a platform for industry experts to share knowledge, best practices, new technologies, and process improvements. To foster an open discussion of our industry’s challenges and successes, the presentation materials are not recorded or published.
