European Offshore Petroleum Conference

EUROPEC II

EUROPEC II, to be held from

October 21 to October 24, 1980 at Earls Court, London, England, will be the world's foremost event dealing with North Sea condi- tions, operations, and engineering challenges. Its impact on the fu- ture of North Sea operations — and similar activities in other off- shore environments — will be sig- nificant.

This event, which is sponsored by six major professional organi- zations with a combined member- ship of more than 240,000, will serve as a definitive forum on in- novations and experience in the

North Sea. The sponsoring soci- eties of EUROPEC II are: The

Society of Petroleum Engineers.

The Institution of Civil Engineers,

The Institution of Electrical En- gineers, The Institution of Me- chanical Engineers, The Institute of Petroleum, and The Society for

Underwater Technology. The In- stitution of Mining and Metal- lurgy is a cooperating society, and the project has been organized by

The Society of Petroleum Engi- neers (U.K.) Limited.

At the first EUROPEC in 1978, more than 15,000 registrants from 22 countries viewed products and equipment from 20 countries and attended technical sessions with industry and professional leaders from Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

EUROPEC II will have an even greater range of technical ses- sions and exhibits of offshore- related products and services.

More than 115 technical papers will be presented by an impres- sive roster of speakers drawn from throughout the world. This combination of speaker creden- tials is unlikely to be duplicated elsewhere. Many of the experts will address new concepts first applied in the North Sea; others will report on techniques used in less hostile waters that may be adapted for the North Sea.

In addition to the technical pro- gram, registrants will view a com- prehensive technical exhibits dis- play presented by more than 225 manufacturers and suppliers of petroleum services—with an em- phasis on creative products geared specifically for the offshore envi- ronment.
