RICHARDSON, Texas, U.S.A. (6 May 2004) - Many of the 250-plus
technical presentations had standing-room-only attendance during
the four-day Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), 3-6 May 2004.
A 19-year high of 50,921 attendees converged at Reliant Center
at Reliant Park in Houston.
"A committee of more than 150 volunteers representing each
of OTC's sponsoring organizations spent over a year creating the
best technical program that I have seen since I became involved
in OTC in 1979," said Rod Allan, OTC .04 Chairman. "The
presentations delivered pertinent information on the latest trends
and technologies in the offshore world.
There's no doubt in my mind that OTC is a leading technical conference
in the oil and gas industry, not just the largest exhibition in
the industry. Skipper Strong, the OTC .04 Program Committee Chair,
and his talented assembly of volunteers have risen to the challenge."
The 50,921 participants in 2004 give OTC the highest attendance
since 1985. Those attending OTC represent 110 nations from around
the world.
The exhibition at OTC this year included more than 2,120 exhibiting
companies, totaling 397,750 net square feet, filling all the available
indoor and outdoor space.
OTC also celebrated the first Spotlight on New Technology winners.
Fifteen companies were recognized by OTC for their innovative contributions
to the offshore world.
The 2005 OTC, "A Sea of Resources—An Ocean of Knowledge," takes
place 2-5 May at Reliant Center at Reliant Park. For more information,
