“The North sea has for decades been a driver solving challenges in the oil industry. With topics including data gathering and surveillance; low-cost well optimisation; stimulation; pre-rig work for well abandonment; and Subsea Well Intervention, the SPE/ICoTA conference gives you a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and meet a highly-skilled network of leaders and professionals. I am personally excited to see the latest developments in wireline digital command fishing tools and to see who will win this year's Innovation Award, which is presented at the conference."

‍

Bronson has also been working in the industry for around 25 years and brings experience from a range of offshore and onshore well intervention roles.

‍

"Following on from the success of the 2019 conference, I very much look forward to discussing and learning more on how our industry is progressing from events over the past 5 years and how we are continuing to adopt a culture for more collaboration opportunities and knowledge sharing, whilst embracing new technologies and techniques to help underpin how we Maximise Economic Recovery within the UK. Having the opportunity to work for a wide range of great companies and learn from so many extremely knowledgeable and helpful individuals within the industry paved the way for me setting up my own company in 2017 and I hope the ICoTA network will continue to inspire those in the well intervention industry."
