The oil and gas industry is no stranger to volatility. But as the price for oil and gas swings dramatically it can be hard to maintain the momentum for process improvements. When the market is good, everyone is busy trying to pump more oil. When the market is bad, cost cutting becomes the focus. 

So how do you maintain a focus on operational excellence and cultivate and develop your talent?

According to Sean Barnes, Vice President of Corporate Operations at Nine Energy Services, you need to find the operational excellence goldilocks zone - the time between a market upcycle and downturn when you can make lasting, sustainable improvements to your operations. 

In this panel discussion recorded at our latest Operational Excellence in Oil and Gas summit in Houston, Sean Barnes and Julie Thyne, Global Improvement Director at Dow, discuss what that means and how you can translate it into excellence in operations. The panel was moderated by John Dale, Managing Director of ALULA.
