HOUSTON, Texas, U.S.A. (5 May 2005) – New technologies and
new ideas to sustain the growth of the industry overflowed at this
year’s Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), bringing a record
51,320 attendees to Houston for four days. The conference was held
2-5 May at Reliant Center at Reliant Park in Houston.
“Industry leaders gathered in sessions focused on the future
of financing the offshore oil and gas industry to meet the world’s
increasing energy demands and on recruiting personnel to replace
the aging workforce,” said Rod Allan, OTC .05 Chairman. “Those
who participated in these sessions took part in creating history — some
of the industry’s brightest minds discussed ideas that will
define the course of the industry during the next decade.”
Allan added that an array of new technologies was presented for
the first time. The Spotlight on New Technology program highlighted
14 innovative technologies that are already making the industry
more successful.
The 51,320 participants in 2005 represent OTC’s highest
attendance since 1985 – arriving from 110 nations around
the world.
The exhibition at OTC this year included 2,087 exhibiting companies,
totaling more than 410,000 net square feet, filling all available
indoor and outdoor space.
The 2006 OTC, “New Depths. New Horizons,” takes place
1-4 May at Reliant Center at Reliant Park. For more information,
