Deep Offshore Technology Conference at George R. Brown Convention Center (Nov. 28-30, 2006)
Written by DOT
The 18th Annual Deep Offshore Technology International Conference & Exhibition offers a line-up of innovative technology solutions and lessons learned to promote exploration, development, and production of oil and gas in deep and ultra-deepwater basins around the world.
DOT has earned its recognition as the leading forum for real-world project examples from frontier areas, marginal field developments, flowlines and pipelines, and risk and reliability, among many other topics, through its commitment to selecting high-quality papers to anchor the conference.
From Nov. 28 – 30, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, three tracks of presentations will run concurrently: floaters/construction; subsea/flow assurance; and well construction/risk.
This year special emphasis has been placed on the topic of well construction. The closing session will present thoughts on attracting new talent in sufficient numbers to keep pace with the attrition associated with an aging workforce.
For 18 years, DOT has been a forum for discussions of real-world projects. Again this year, the exhibition floor will be a gathering place where technology specialists from around the world can meet and exchange ideas.
Deepwater exploration remains a technological challenge for the industry and will continue to attract the best minds in the world.
