During the conference, Ryder oil and gas experts will discuss several topics that are affecting the industry today. The Company will host a roundtable discussion titled “Understanding True Cost of Ownership for Oil & Gas Fleets", on September 25 where Ryder Director of Financial Consulting for National Accounts, Kirk Morton, will discuss methods and tactics for analyzing the total cost of owning a commercial oil and gas fleet to help businesses evaluate their current mode of financing and fleet maintenance.

Ryder Senior Director of Engineering for Oil & Gas, William Taylor, and Ryder Senior Manager of Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental, Randy Tomlinson, will also hold a presentation titled “Drilling Down into Oil & Gas Safety” about new approaches to oil and gas safety practices in transportation. “Ryder’s roundtable discussion and presentation will serve as a platform for the Company to share its industry expertise to help create a connection between the logistics function, fleet operators, and well site operations, with the aim to identify strategies to extend lead times, improve planning in the upstream delivery process, and evaluate safety standards,” said Steve Martin, Vice President of Operations and General Manager, Oil & Gas, for Ryder. “With operational know-how and engineering analysis, Ryder can help oil and gas companies operate more efficiently, save money, and improve safety.”

The oil and gas industry relies on Ryder to take costs and risks out of transportation and logistics, enabling customers to maximize uptime, keep supplies and goods moving, and bring costs down. This is all supported by a proven health and safety culture driven by experienced oilfield operators and health, safety, and environmental professionals. Ryder turns a complicated supply chain into a company’s strategic competitive edge, from the oilfield to the marketplace.
