Overview:
The fourth DryTree & Riser Forum will be held in Houston, Texas this year at the Omni Houston Hotel Westside on November 28, 2007. As in the past, the forum is dedicated to the open exchange of ideas, best practices, and lessons learned that impact the selection and execution of deepwater drytree systems and drilling or production riser systems from floating facilities.
This year's theme, "Deeper Water - Practical Solutions," will present practical experiences relating to choices when choosing drytree production systems and deepwater riser systems. During this one-day forum, speakers and delegates will explore the technology, tools, decision-making processes, and functional requirements of the concept selection and execution employing drytrees and various riser systems.
Also, the first six presentations will be made available through a live webcast from the conference floor. The final six presentations will be closed to press to ensure that the extremely topical discussions and timely nature of the conference material is maintained.
Conference Chairman Eldon Ball of PennWell Corporation will lead a team of industry experts, service providers, and regulators participating in case-study and technology-oriented presentations.
The pay-per-view charge for this event is $99, payable by VISA, MASTERCARD or AMEX.
