Canadian Offshore Resources Exposition
Halifax, Nova Scotia—October 1-3
This year's Fifth Annual Canadi- an Offshore Resources Exposition and Conference (CORE) is again scheduled for Halifax, Nova Scotia,
October 1-3. The exposition will be held at the Port of Halifax Ocean
Terminals and the conference at the
Halifax World Trade Centre.
First organized in 1981, CORE has become Canada's leading an- nual event devoted exclusively to the offshore oil and gas exploration, drilling, and production industry.
At the 1984 event, 620 firms from 18 countries exhibited their products and services, making it one of the biggest shows of its kind in Canada.
The CORE exposition features domestic and international exhibits, and the business transacted at the show is one of the major attrac- tions.
With the ever-increasing activity in offshore exploration and develop- ment in Atlantic Canada, the Beau- fort Sea, and the Arctic (where the environment is unique to other parts of the world), there are techni- cal problems that can only be solved through constant updating of knowledge and experience. CORE was established to provide a forum where this knowledge could be dis- seminated through the proper chan- nels.
This year CORE is sponsored by:
Atlantic Provinces Economic coun- cil; Canadian Institute of Mining;
Canadian Ocean Industries Associa- tion; Canadian Petroleum Offshore
Operators Division; Cape Breton
Offshore Trade Association; Halifax
Board of Trade; Newfoundland
Ocean Industries Association; Off- shore Trade Association of Nova
Scotia; and Oilweek Magazine. It is produced and managed by Indus- trial Trade Shows Inc. of Toronto.
The overall theme of this year's
Conference is "Development of Ca- nadian Oil & Gas Frontiers." It will be held in three sections—in the morning and afternoon of October 1 and in the morning on October 2.
Luncheon speaker of October 1 will be Jack A. McLeod, president and chief executive officer of Shell
Canada. The luncheon gathering on
October 2 will be addressed by The
Honorable Pat Carney, Minister of Mines & Energy, Government of
Canada.
CORE attempts to provide the visitor to the Conference with a ros- ter of experts and authoritative speakers from both Canada and the international community, who are chosen to discuss the many aspects of the search and exploitation of oil and gas resources in waters that are often environmentally hostile.
