We are pleased to welcome you to the Houston Offshore Breakfast Briefing 2026, the first event in our US calendar. Join the Westwood team for a morning of insight, analysis and discussion spanning global exploration trends, subsea and platform markets, and the latest developments in the offshore drilling rig sector.
Join us on Wednesday 8th April 2026 at The Moran CityCentre, La Scala II&III, 800 Sorella Court, Houston, TX 77024.
The session opens with introductions and an overview from Gareth Hector, followed by Jamie Collard (joining remotely) with a review of 2025 global exploration activity, forward projections and a focused look at offshore US exploration.
Next, Mark Adeosun will deliver an EPC investment outlook and highlight contracting opportunities before we turn to the drilling market with Teresa Wilkie, who will examine the regions heating up, recent M&A activity and dayrate trends.
As in previous years, we are delighted to welcome back Scott Levine of Bloomberg Intelligence, who will provide this year’s company review to close the briefing.
Delegates are encouraged to stay afterwards for networking and refreshments.
