ETA Offshore Seminar

To Be Held In Houston

April 29 Thru May 3

ETA Offshore Seminars, Inc. (ETAOS), the Houston-based train- ing company sponsoring offshore seminars on an international scale, will present its eighth seminar ses- sion on April 29-May 3, 1974, in

Houston, Texas, the week before the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston. Through the seminar sessions, ETAOS continues to up- date experienced personnel and train new men for offshore service. The seminars zero in on the latest tech- nology in offshore drilling, comple- tion, and production.

ETAOS was formed to fill an educational need of the offshore in- dustry as it is faced with an acute shortage of trained and qualified per- sonnel to man the increasing number of costly offshore drilling and pro- duction units. The ETA Offshore

Seminars provide a unique service for the industry and feature up to 30 speakers for one session.

The seminar speakers represent vital segments of the offshore indus- try. They are leading experts in their fields, involved in the daily problems, as well as the future of the offshore industry. The speakers and topics are carefully screened and selected so that the presentations cover a broad spectrum of the industry.

The seminars cover the theory, se- lection, and operation of offshore drilling, subsea completion, and pro- duction equipment. The presenta- tions range from an introduction to basic oceaneering to detailed tech- niques for drilling and producing in deeper and more hostile waters. The seminars focus on offshore safety,
