Deepwater Offshore Technology
Deepwater Offshore Technology
The search for
additional petroleum and gas reserves in the US and now China has lead to
deepwater exploration and development activities that require extending existing
technologies to their limit and the development of new concepts and technologies
to meet the challenges. The development of deepwater facilities and transport of
the petroleum products to onshore or nearshore facilities, and then on to the
consumer requires application of the state-of-the-art technologies and the
careful management of risk and safety considerations. (All presentations will be
in English)
The intent of this roundtable session is to identify
specific technical opportunities for collaboration and the exchange of views in
order to identify a way forward. This would include mutually beneficial
exchanges of engineers and scientists, student internship, collaborative short
courses on critical technologies, the development of consortia and funding
through joint industry and government supported projects. Ideas regarding the
establishment of an office by Texas A&M University in China to facilitate
exchanges and mutually beneficial technical exchanges will also be discussed.
