The bi-annual ONS event in Stavanger, Norway, is one of the largest oil and gas industry conferences in the world with more than 1,400 exhibitors and nearly 100,000 attendees. Though this was my first visit to the event, there was a palpable sense of change in the air. I use the word “palpable” (i.e., able to be touched or felt) not in any sense of journalistic hyperbole, but because change in the oil and gas industry was all everyone at the show seemed to be talking about.
