There's still time to submit an abstract for the OTC's new Arctic Technology Conference. The abstracts deadline has been extended through 1 August 2010.
This dynamic new event, 7-9 February 2011 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, will address the cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices needed for exploration and production in the Arctic. The OTC model, which brings together nearly a dozen professional societies and associations to create a comprehensive technical conference, will serve as the basis for the new event.
The program committee is now accepting abstracts in the following themes:
The Arctic is one of the few places on the globe which still holds enormous new petroleum reserve potential. A recently completed USGS survey estimated that 20% of the world’s remaining reserves were trapped beneath the Arctic Circle. OTC’s inaugural Arctic Technology Conference (ATC), 7-9 February 2011 in Houston, Texas, will be a truly global event focused on the cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices needed for exploration and production in the Arctic.
Senior explorationists and technical experts will share their knowledge, vision and ideas on the exploration and geology of the U.S., Canadian, Russian, Norwegian, and Greenlandic (Danish) onshore and offshore arctic basins.
