Meet and network with other Emerging Leaders and industry leadership at the upper level of the Glass Cactus. We will kick the reception off with an ice breaker then hear from industry leadership and AFPM’s Committee members.
Attracting and keeping talented employees is a critical activity of any organization. Steve Anderson, PhD., will share research and his experience of over twenty years in helping health care organizations hire and keep the best employees. During this interactive session you will learn the critical components of creating a culture that empowers employees and attracts the best talent. He will also share how to create hiring processes that weeds out the pretenders and get the best candidates. Dr. Anderson will talk about the necessity of holding accountable, and possibly terminating, problem employees that harm your culture of excellence.
As a result of attending this speech participants will:
Gain insight into five functions of management.
Learn how to design a hiring system to locate and hire the best talent.
Understand how to develop those employees.
Understand how to create a review system that rewards good behavior and holds accountable “bad” behavior.

Successfully processing a changing crude diet can be a challenge from the tank farm through distillation. Upsets and performance reductions lead to processing cost penalties downstream, loss of production, and environmental impacts through greater emissions and brine water quality issues. Optimizing the design, operational parameters and chemical injection schema from crude receipts through the hot train can minimize these cost penalties and ensure performance is maintained.

Greg Cantley, Marathon

Net Zero CO2 emissions by 2050 will require large investments in the oil industry on technologies. New technologies must be developed to reach the target but still need to scale up and mature. Improving the performance of Existing Assets will contribute to reduce the impact on carbon footprint now and advancements in cleaning techniques can restore more lost heat transfer more efficiently than traditional methods.
Petroval will discuss technologies to preserve heat transfer by maintaining clean surfaces further into the run, while Clean as New will discuss the varying benefits & limitations of techniques to restore lost heat transfer from fouling.
Facilitators:
Sam Lordo, Becht
Jacob Young, Petroval
