With such an innocuous name as Harvey, the impact this Cat 4 hurricane would have on the state of Texas was unrealized until landfall occurred on August 26, 2017.
This storm unloaded fury-filled and sustained winds of 130 mphas the monster made landfall approximately 30 miles northeast of the coastal city of Corpus Christi — as of this writing, Harvey has resulted in more than 75 deaths.
Commercial business disruptions throughout Texas, as well as decreased supplies of oil and gas deliveries throughout the nation due to the numerous rigs and refineries in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Texas coast having to cease operations for personnel and capital equipment safety concerns, continue to be realized.
Therein rests the reason why the OilComm Conference and Exposition was canceled and rescheduled for December 6 through 7. This dynamic trade event for the oil and gas and related industries will be held at the Houston Marriot Westchase in Houston, Texas, with more than 800 executives, IT professionals, engineers, technology/data/project managers and more expected to attend.
Being introduced at the show will be FleetComm, a co-located conference that will present a variety of mobile comms solutions, sessions and networking opportunities to those in attendance.
