Energy Workforce & Technology Council

Energy Workforce & Technology Council Empowering the Energy Workforce of the Future

Formed by a merging of the Petroleum Equipment & Services Association, and the Association of Energy Service Companies, the Energy Workforce & Technology Council has a legacy of leadership and advocacy on behalf of energy technology and services companies in the energy supply chain. Founded in 1933 as the American Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association, PESA has been at the vanguard of the ener

gy services sector with industry-recognized workforce development opportunities, and certification programs in leadership development, inclusion and diversity, and ESG. Established in 1956 as the Association of Oilwell Servicing Contractors, AESC has operated through a network of national committees and local chapters to establish itself as a leading voice in safety, technology, environmental performance, insurance, government advocacy, and workforce training. United in one organization, the Council will represent more than 600 energy technology and services companies to help deliver a safe, profitable and sustainable low-carbon future.

Join Energy Workforce President Molly Determan on September 15-16 in Austin, TX for the Permian Energy Dialogues, hosted by Energy Dialogues, Inc.

The forum brings together the full value chain under the Chatham House Rule for candid, off-the-record dialogue that actually moves the needle.

Determan will be joining fellow senior leaders to tackle the Basin's most pressing challenges: infrastructure bottlenecks, produced water regulation, methane accountability, LNG demand signals, and what consolidation means for operators of every size.

If you're shaping the future of energy in the Permian, this is where that conversation happens.

This week, frontline leaders gathered at ProPetro Services Inc. for the Frontline Leadership Program in partnership with Heidrick & Struggles.

Participants focused on the leadership skills that directly impact team performance, including building trust, delivering effective coaching and feedback, and learning how to leverage their team's strengths to improve efficiency and capabilities.

Through interactive breakout sessions and hands-on exercises, the cohort practiced real-world leadership scenarios, identified the values and purpose that drive them, and gained practical tools they can take back to their teams.

The impact of leadership development extends far beyond the classroom. When frontline leaders are equipped with the skills to communicate, coach, and lead with intention, organizations benefit from stronger teams, improved collaboration, and more effective operations.

๐Ÿ›๏ธGetting energy projects approved is one thing. Getting them built is another.

Energy Workforce & Technology Council President Molly Determan recently moderated a Reuters Energy LIVE discussion exploring the forces shaping project ex*****on in today's market, including geopolitical volatility, shifting permitting and policy dynamics, supply chain disruption, workforce availability, and an increasingly uncertain capital environment.

Joining Molly were Lou Schick of Clean Energy Ventures and Jalal Nadeem of the Institute for Mergers, Acquisitions and Alliances (IMAA), who shared insights on what it takes to keep critical energy projects moving forward in an increasingly complex environment.

One theme stood out throughout the conversation: certainty matters. Successful project delivery requires a skilled workforce, reliable supply chains, regulatory certainty, and the ability to adapt in a rapidly changing landscape.

Thank you to Reuters Events for the opportunity to participate in the discussion.
