Notably, the attendance of executives from companies such as Shell, Cenovus, PETRONAS, and MEG opens the door for potential partnerships in offshore services and training initiatives. Engagements with provincial energy ministers and Indigenous leaders further position WEDEL as a reliable partner in local content and knowledge-transfer driven projects.
