NEW YORK, May 22, 2009 – The ASME International Petroleum Technology Institute (ASME-IPTI) and Quest Offshore Resources have jointly announced two technical conferences focusing on offshore energy exploration and production.
ASME-IPTI and Quest are partnering on Subsea Rio 2009 and DeepGulf 2009, with ASME-IPTI developing much of the technical content for both conferences.
Subsea Rio 2009 will be held Sept. 15-17, at the Sheraton Rio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Entering its second year, the conference is aimed at executives and engineers in the global petroleum business, as well as operations managers involved in project planning and scheduling and young professionals seeking insights into developments in the industry.
Focusing on offshore infrastructure, Subsea Rio 2009 will include sessions on deepwater wells, subsea boosting and pumping, standardization, and floating production scalability. Chevron, Shell, and Statoil are among the companies that will participate in Subsea Rio 2009.
DeepGulf 2009 is set for Dec. 1-3, at Moody Gardens Hotel and Resort in Galveston, Tex. Focusing on oil and gas development in ultra-deepwater basins, the three-day information exchange will include sessions on drilling, floating structures, pipelines and risers, and subsea production equipment.
