Join us at IADC World Drilling 2026 Conference & Exhibition, taking place June 16–17, 2026, at the Estoril Congress Center in Portugal. The conference is recognized as a leadership event for wells professionals, focused on the strategic challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the drilling industry.

CAVU will be co-presenting a poster session, titled “Back to the Future: Transformational Steps in Operational Leadership, Human Performance and Crew Resource Management in Banyu Urip Drilling Operations,” which will highlight ExxonMobil Cepu Limited’s adoption of Crew Resource Management and human performance principles in Banyu Urip drilling operations. Focusing on non-technical skills like decision-making and communication, the initiative fostered a trust-based safety leadership culture, resulting in 700+ days of safe, efficient performance. The paper outlines actionable strategies for integrating these concepts industry-wide.

The poster will be presented by:

David Ehrmann, CAVU International
Richard Wright, CAVU International
W.C. Morris, ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd.
