About the Additive Manufacturing for Oil and Gas Summit

Topics to be covered

  • Smart Manufacturing, Resilient Energy: The Additive Advantage for Oil & Gas
  • Beyond Spare Parts: High-Value Applications of AM in Upstream
  • Challenges and Solutions for On-Demand Manufacturing in Remote Oil & Gas Operations
  • Navigating Intellectual Property and Data Security in a Distributed AM Ecosystem
  • The Digital Oilfield: Integrating AM into Industry 4.0 for Operational Excellence
  • The Role of Collaboration: How OEMs, Service Providers, and End-Users are Driving AM Adoption in O&G

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is looking to revolutionize the oil and gas industry through enhancing supply chain resilience and reducing logistical constraints across the global energy value chain. This summit offers a unique opportunity to gain a competitive edge in the oil and gas industry by exploring how AM can address critical challenges and optimize operations. Attendees will learn how leading energy companies are integrating AM to create lightweight, high-strength parts, improve performance, and enhance operational efficiency.

The conference provides direct access to decision-makers and potential clients who are actively exploring or implementing AM solutions within the oil and gas sector. Hosted by the same team behind the United States’ premier military additive manufacturing summit (MILAM) with over 1300+ in attendance last year, ASI has deep expertise in the AM community. Through dynamic panel discussions, attendees will gain insights from industry leaders, technical experts, and business strategists on topics such as specific AM applications for upstream operations, navigating intellectual property, and fostering collaborations across the O&G manufacturing and production landscape. This focused environment allows for impactful engagements and the translation of insights into actionable strategies for organizations who are in the oil and gas industry and those who are looking to break-in.

Furthermore, the summit is designed to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AM technologies and the practical needs of the oil and gas community. It offers a crucial platform for leaders to connect with a broader audience of AM experts, innovators, and solution providers, fostering dynamic dialogue and deep collaboration through interactive forums. Attendees will discover how AM unlocks the possibility for operators to produce critical spare parts, significantly minimizing downtime and reducing dependency on traditional supply chains.

ASI’s Summit is specifically designed to bridge the gap between cutting-edge additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and the practical needs of the oil and gas community. We recognize that leaders in this sector often operate within their established networks, and our summit provides a crucial conduit for them to efficiently connect with a broader audience of AM experts, innovators, and solution providers. Our interactive forums are at the heart of this connection, fostering dynamic dialogue and deep collaboration.

Trusted for our expertise and reliability, ASI serves as a catalyst for real-world solutions through impactful engagements. Through carefully curated content, including case studies, expert presentations, and lively panel discussions, we deliver impactful engagements that translate directly into actionable insights for the oil and gas industry.

Gain Education & Insight:  Walk away with knowledge gained from our senior level speakers on some of the complex challenges facing the oil and gas community.

Build Partnerships: The agenda is designed to allow for ample networking opportunities and the ability to engage in constructive dialogue among all in attendance.

Influence: Help foster ideas! Share your own insight and knowledge during our interactive sessions. All attendees are encouraged to address our speaker faculty and each other with their questions, comments, or ideas.

ASI Testimonials

If you chose only one AM event to attend in 2025, then this inaugural event in Houston was the one to go to. Great exhibitors, meaningful and valuable presentations, and in-depth actionable material. I am sure the 2026 event will be just as valuable.
Timothy Airey Precision Additive
This was a good conference to attend to see how additive manufacturing is being applied in Oil and Gas, which has different challenges compared to the aerospace industry.
Richard Hagen NASA
This event is so important not just to promote innovations in additive manufacturing for the oil industry, but to communicate challenges and failures so we can move forward together as an industry.
Senior Representative
A huge thanks to the Ascentis Strategies Institute for hosting the inaugural Additive Manufacturing for Oil and Gas Summit in Houston! The presentations, panels, and exhibitors showcased just how far we've come in AM adoption across the sector. It was an honor to participate alongside leaders from oil and gas and adjacent industries—an energizing experience that reinforced the momentum behind AM innovation. Looking forward to continuing these conversations and proudly representing oil and gas at future AM events. Bravo to the organizers—well done!
