  • 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 conditions, operations, and engineering challenges. Its impact on the future of North Sea operations — and similar activities in other offshore environments — will be significant.

    This event, which is sponsored by six major professional organizations with a combined membership of more than 240,000, will serve as a definitive forum on innovations and experience in the North Sea. The sponsoring societies of EUROPEC II are: The Society of Petroleum Engineers.

    The Institution of Civil Engineers, The Institution of Electrical Engineers, The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, The Institute of Petroleum, and The Society for Underwater Technology. The Institution of Mining and Metallurgy is a cooperating society, and the project has been organized by The Society of Petroleum Engineers (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 sessions and exhibits of offshorerelated products and services.

    More than 115 technical papers will be presented by an impressive roster of speakers drawn from throughout the world. This combination of speaker credentials 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 program, registrants will view a comprehensive technical exhibits display presented by more than 225 manufacturers and suppliers of petroleum services—with an emphasis on creative products geared specifically for the offshore environment.
