5. Let's Talk About OTC 2025

In Episode 5 I am taking you straight to the exhibition floor at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2025 in Houston, where I captured conversations with engineers and energy leaders about the future of offshore energy.

OTC 2025 highlighted big themes like robotics and automation, electrification of offshore operations, carbon capture and storage, and how oil & gas expertise is being adapted for emerging energy technologies.

You’ll hear from:

• Jacob Belleau, a Technical Sales Engineer from Arc Specialties & Offshore Robotics working to make offshore rigs safer
• Fernando Mendes, a Wells Construction Manager from Petrobras, on offshore trends and electrification
• Brian Mizell, a leader from Oil States, on market dynamics, deepwater production, and the crossover between oil & gas and offshore renewables

The expo floor was noisy (and my small mic setup struggled!) but these insights were valuable and I wanted to share them with you! If you want a quick pulse on what people in the industry are talking about, this episode is for you.
