Scope and Objectives
The increasing demand for energy and fossil fuels is leading oil operators to seek offshore production in reservoirs far from the coast and in hostile environments. At the
same time, new technologies for drilling, measurement, processing and automation are
being developed opening up new opportunities for oil production and optimization. The
effective use and integration of these emerging technologies during the oil field exploitation depend on the academic and industrial research. To this end, this workshop will
bring together equipment and service supplier companies, oil operators, and academia
in a forum where practitioners and scientists will present their ideas and recent developments. It is hoped that the discussions and exchanges will lead both industry and
academia to more closely cooperate towards better practices for the exploitation of
offshore oil fields.
Meeting Topics
The focus of the meeting will be on instrumentation, control, automation and optimization applied to offshore oil and gas production. Application areas of interest
include:
∙ Subsea technology
∙ Measurement systems for well, subsea and surface processes
∙ Automated well drilling
∙ Autonomous and robotic systems
∙ Production optimization
∙ Integrated operations and logistics
∙ Plantwide and advanced control
∙ Environmental issues and safety instrumented systems
