Oil & Gas 101 2026

It was held at HMH, 3300 N Sam Houston Pkwy E, Houston, TX 77032.

It targeted HR, finance, accounting, marketing, communications, legal and administrative professionals supporting energy organizations, plus early-career professionals, business development, sales, supply chain and operations personnel, employees transitioning roles, and new hires entering oil and gas.

It was most useful for non-technical staff in energy companies, such as HR, finance, legal, marketing and new hires, who needed to learn the vocabulary and basics, since the two days were scheduled to cover upstream, midstream and downstream fundamentals, drilling, refining and supply chain. Experienced engineers and field operators would have gotten little new from a foundational seminar.

Energy industry training seminars in Houston usually call for business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, with closed-toe shoes as a safe choice.
