Abu Dhabi, 13 October 2014 – Petrotechnics, the leading provider of operational performance and predictive risk management solutions, will present at OpEx, in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday 15th October 2014. Petrotechnics will explore how organisations can better connect operational excellence programmes to daily operations to change the safety-productivity dynamic and unlock the path to operational excellence.

OpEx 2014 is the premier event on the topic of Operational Excellence for the Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals sector held in the Middle East. This year’s conference will include a new emphasis on corporate strategy excellence, sustainability and safety, as well as the ‘People’, ‘Assets’ and ‘Technology’ themes covered in last year’s event.

Petrotechnics will share its risk based approach to operational excellence enabling organisations to better connect their operational excellence programmes to daily operations to ensure safe, efficient and sustainable long term production. With a common and practical currency of risk from the frontline to the boardroom, organisations can understand the impact of risk on their operations and make the right decisions to improve operational performance.

“At Petrotechnics we are helping our customers change the safety productivity dynamic in their organisations. Safety and productivity do not have to be mutually exclusive of each other”, said Scott Lehmann, Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing. “Operational excellence is a critical enabler of business strategy to drive increased value in an organisation. We believe a practical risk based approach to operational excellence can connect the organisation to the day to day reality of frontline operations and more effectively drive continuous improvement towards operational excellence”, continued Lehmann.
