OTC - '86 SPECIAL PREVIEW

M a y 5 - 8 , 1 9 8 6 , Houston The 1986 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), to be held at the Astrodomain in Houston May 5-8, focuses this year on world trade and the increased recognition of OTC's role in bringing together U.S. and international exporters, importers, and registrants to view the world's largest exhibition of offshore equipment, products, and services.

With attendance expected to exceed 60,000 international and U.S.

engineers, scientists, and managers, this year's OTC will offer many attractions, including a comprehensive technical program of 46 sessions with more than 250 technical papers from every oil-producing area of the world, three keynote general-interest sessions with high-level speakers, as well as an unmatched exhibition of products, equipment, and services from more than 1,500 of the world's foremost manufacturers of offshore-related equipment.

With U.S. Department of Commerce endorsement and acceptance into the prestigious Union of International Fairs, OTC presents increased opportunities for technical cooperation among the community.

OTC '86 continued and communication international offshore For the first time at OTC, Commerce Department staff will direct foreign visitors to appropriate exhibitors, and counsel U.S.

exhibitors on export/import matters.

Foreign trade delegates will receive the OTC Export Interest Directory to help them locate available products, services, and equipment exhibited at OTC.

The exhibition, including special indoor and outdoor areas, opens at 8:30 am Monday, May 5. Exhibition hours are 8:30 to 5 pm, May 6 and 7, and 8:30 to 3 pm, May 8.

The array of drilling rigs, Christmas trees, blowout preventers, and high-tech data acquisition systems will also include a walking undersea robot. An invention of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., the robot walks on four spider-like legs on the sea bottom near foundations and structures to perform assigned tasks. Mitsubishi will demonstrate the robot at its booth during the exhibition.

More than 10 national groups plan exhibits, including Norway, Italy, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, West Germany, and France. Canada will combine the booths of all its provinces into one giant 18,000-square-foot exhibit, another exhibition highlight.

The world's largest forum for development of offshore and ocean resources, OTC is sponsored jointly by 11 of the world's foremost engineering and scientific organizations, including The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and the Marine Technology Society, with worldwide membership of more than 700,000. The Society of Petroleum Engineers in Richardson, Texas, manages the conference for the sponsoring organizations.

Topical Lunches This year the OTC will again offer its popular series of topical luncheons.

The four informal luncheons scheduled will allow many opportunities for stimulating discussions between speakers and audiences.

On Tuesday, May 6, two luncheons are scheduled: Challenges and Achievements — S t a t P i p e Transportation System, given by Tor Espedel, vice president of pipeline technology for Statoil; and Technical and Business Strategies and Business Strategies for Frontier Developments, by R.E. KMcKee, manager of North American production for Conoco Inc. Norway's StatPipe is the world's largest offshore gathering system, crossing the Norwegian Trench twice at 1,000 feet to deliver North Sea production to shore.

On May 7 a special panel will discuss The Human Resources Aspect of Deepwater Production Operations.

Panelists will be John A.

Haeber, retired president of Vetco Offshore Inc.; Ron L. Geer, senior mechanical engineer for Shell Offshore Inc.; Dillard S. Hammett, vice president of SEDCO-Forex; and moderator Joe W. Key, director of R&D for Offshore Production Systems Inc. For Wednesday's second luncheon, H.R. Brannon, senior research scientist at Exxon Production Research Company, will speak on Deepwater Development Alternatives. The many designs for structures and systems to develop deepwater oil and gas reserves reflect current thinking about how deep the offshore industry can go.

The informality of these topical luncheons encourages frank discussion of issues during question-andanswer periods. The series is one of the most popular technical attractions of the annual conference and exhibition.

OTC Awards The Offshore Technology Conference will present its 1986 Distinguished Achievement Award to W.

Harry Mayne, consultant for Geosource Inc., and to McClelland Engineers Inc., both of Houston.

Recipients will be honored at the OTC Awards Luncheon on May 5 at 12:15 pm in the Astrohall Ballroom.

Mr. Mayne will receive the OTC Award for Individuals for his contributions to the science of geophysical exploration. He invented the common depth point (CDP) method used in nearly all offshore seismic and exploration work. The CDP is largely responsible for the noise reduction that makes it possible to perform seismic work under continuous tow. No single technique has contributed more to the success of offshore seismic work and petroleum exploration.

The 1986 recipient of the OTC Distinguished Achievement Award for Companies, McClelland Engineers, has made distinct and unique contributions to marine geotechnical engineering for 38 years. The firm's development of engineering techniques for analysis and design of offshore structure foundations, and procedures and equipment for geotechnical data acquisition have benefited materially the safety and cost aspects of foundations for offshore structures.
