Description

Power Brokers of the Patch
February 17, 2026
Bush Convention Center, Ballroom
3:00–4:30 PM | Happy Hour to Follow

Who Really Controls the Well?

In today’s oilfield, a lot of the decisions that matter don’t happen in the operator’s office or on the rig floor. They happen in between.

Power Brokers of the Patch is a no-sales, straight-talk forum that brings together the project managers, advisors, and consulting firms that are increasingly involved in how wells are planned and executed across the basin.

The focus is on how decisions are actually made, who owns them, and how that responsibility moves from planning through execution.

Who Should Attend

Operators who want a better understanding of where decisions are happening, how accountability is shared, and how that impacts cost, performance, and control

Consultants and project management firms willing to talk openly about their role, responsibility, and influence on projects

Service companies and vendors working in an environment where access and decision-making often run through a third party

What the Conversation Covers

• How projects are staffed, scoped, and managed
• How vendors are evaluated and recommendations are made
• Where value is added and where it breaks down
• How responsibility is shared and what that means in the field

This forum is meant to foster honest conversation between operators, consultants, and service providers about how work gets done and how projects can run better.

If you’re involved in planning, managing, or executing wells and want a clearer picture of how decisions and responsibility flow through a project, this is a conversation worth being part of.
