The 14th annual Oil and Gas High Performance Computing (OG-HPC) Conference, hosted annually at Rice University by the Ken Kennedy Institute, is the premier meeting place for the energy industry to engage in conversations about challenges and opportunities in high performance computing, computational science and engineering, machine learning, and data science.  Attended by more than 500 leaders and experts from the energy industry, academia, national labs, and IT industry, this is a unique opportunity for key stakeholders to engage and network to help advance HPC in the energy industry.

The agenda for the conference includes invited keynote speakers, technical program, virtual networking reception, student poster session, and pre and post-conference workshops. This year’s virtual conference will have an online venue for networking, collaborating, and building partnerships focused on high performance computing, computational science and engineering, machine learning, and data science.

Technical themes for conference sessions are developed based on current challenges and the diversity and strengths of the abstracts received.

This conference has become the key venue for planners and practitioners alike. This is a forum for taking the pulse of industry needs and discussing challenges, opportunities and new development at the interface of the energy industry, the IT industry, and the academic and research community.
