Another Successful Inogen WorldView® Conference

Rio de Janerio, Brazil - Inogen Associates from across the globe convened at the Spring Inogen WorldView® Conference in Rio de Janeiro to focus on enhancing asset value for oil and gas clients. Inogen partners came away with tools and best practices to assist business managers in maximising their organisations' asset value through environmental, safety, engineering and socio-economic practices, while considering significant variables such as asset lifecycle phase and perceived asset value.

The April 15 symposium, themed Solutions for Maximising Oil & Gas Asset Value, marked Inogen's 17th Inogen Worldview® conference. Associates learned tangible methods from industry experts on how to create value for client organisations through corporate social responsibility programs, practical applications and project case studies. The interactive conference format allowed attendees to ask questions and receive actionable information, understand competitive advantages from oil and gas industry benchmarking perspectives, and exchange real solutions.

Keynote speaker, Frederic Delormel, President of Technip Brazil, delivered a thought-provoking presentation involving transferrable concepts on Technip's approach and commitment to sustainability in its global operations.

Additional guest speakers included Mark Serwinowski, CEO of MetaVu, Ismet Vecih Dundar, Environmental Manager at BOTAS International Limited and Paulo Roberto Dos Santos Carvalho, Health, Safety, Environment & Quality Manager of Repsol Brazil.

Client guests interfaced with industry leaders and members of their Inogen project teams during an evening reception atop scenic Sugar Loaf Mountain, overlooking Guanabara Bay. Client attendees included: Total, Technip, World Bank, Saudi Aramco, Coca-Cola, Shell, OMV Group, Banco Itau, Mansarovar Energy Colombia Ltd, and Brandt Meio Ambiente.

"As always, it's great to see everyone and have fun together. However, what's more important is the opportunity to discuss future plans for Inogen, and how we can make Inogen stronger and more efficient for our clients," says Peter Penning, President of Inogen Environmental Alliance.

Two days of associate meetings followed the conference to address various affairs including alliance projects, geographic network development and service delivery model improvements. Presentations were made by new associates ANTEA (France) and SENES (Canada).

"We all play equal parts in this partnership and I hope this meeting was yet another step toward closer cooperation between the Associates to benefit our clients," states Penning.

"We have a very unique offering in our ability to combine local expertise with global execution. We will continue to work together to actively seek, sell and collaborate on Inogen opportunities."
