Dubai & Singapore

Face to face oil operations
& demurrage training

Dubai 25-27 October
Singapore 1-3 November

In May 2022 in London, Pequod Associates in conjunction with HubSE Demurrage Software and Minton Treharne Davies hosted our first Oil Operations and Demurrage conference. That conference was attended by over 100 delegates, encompassing heads of operations and demurrage and their teams, from 32 companies flying in from 17 countries. The feedback from the event has shown that all delegates wish to attend the 2023 London Conference.

Off the back of the success of this conference, and the online training that we have offered throughout 2021 and 2022, we are pleased to announce that face to face training seminars will be run in Dubai and Singapore in October and November 2022, respectively

The courses include seminars provided by leading industry experts who will be providing some invaluable insights as well as sharing their own first hand experiences of many of the challenges and problems regularly faced by those working in oil operations and demurrage.
