RICHARDSON, Texas, U.S.A. (18 December 2003) – The Offshore
Technology Conference (OTC) is pleased to announce the creation
of OTC Papers Online, a searchable database of more than 9,000 technical
papers from all OTC meetings since 1969. OTC Papers Online enables
anyone doing research related to the offshore oil and gas industry
to quickly locate relevant data from the abundance of technical
information presented at this premier event.
To meet the demand for online access to papers from prior OTC meetings,
OTC developed a fully searchable database that allows users to purchase
and download papers in PDF format. Users can search for a specific
paper by title or paper number. They can also input a phrase or
question to describe a research need and locate all relevant papers,
listed by order of relevance. This powerful search capability enhances
the access to knowledge from OTC meetings. OTC Papers Online will
expand annually to include the nearly 300 technical papers from
each conference.
“Each year, OTC is the premier venue for revealing the industry’s
newest developments in offshore technology,” said Skipper
Strong, Technip, OTC .04 Program Chair. “These developments
come to life in OTC’s technical programs and papers. OTC Papers
Online is an historical collection of technical papers assembled
from the past 35 years, all in one location. By using this resource
to reflect on past advancements, OTC facilitates future ideas in
offshore technology.”
“OTC built OTC Papers Online to fill the much requested need
for easy access to the vast wealth of offshore information presented
at OTC each year,” said Rod Allan, 2004 OTC Chairman. “From
early reports of activity, it is clear OTC Papers Online will become
the definitive resource for offshore technology.”
Papers may be downloaded from OTC Papers Online for U.S. $10 each.
OTC Papers Online is available at www.OTCnet.org.
OTC .04 takes place 3-6 May at Reliant Center at Reliant Park in
Houston. For more information about OTC, visit www.OTCnet.org/2004.
Founded in 1969, the Offshore Technology Conference is the
world’s foremost event for the development of offshore resources
in the fields of drilling, exploration, production, and environmental
protection. OTC is held annually at Reliant Center in Houston. For
