Where are Data and technology Taking Us?

Recent advances in unconventional hydraulic fracturing have been characterized by a continuous series of operational
leaps forward. The technology advances that have mattered most for dramatic recent industry efficiency gains have
included the application of critical process and product improvements, real-time data processing, process simplification,
system automation and just-in-time supply chain streamlining. As we enter 2020, we find ourselves asking where the
next big advances will come from. What will the next key technological advances be and where and how will they be
applied? We believe there is a large role for big data analysis and its use with Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) among others. This session brings a group of experts from varied industries together to discuss what the
industry is already doing with these technologies, and where the hydraulic fracturing and unconventionals industry may
be heading.

Moderator: Chris Wright, Liberty Oilfield Services
