Special Presentations
The primary means of sharing OTC technical content is through OTC Papers Online, where papers are available for any OTC meeting since 1969. But not all of the relevant information at meetings is in the form of OTC papers. The presentations at the many special sessions during OTC also contain valuable technical information. Here is a sample of those presentations, shared with the permission of the presenters.
