(EnergyAsia, September 16 2010, Thursday) — OSEA 2010 International Conference will be held at Suntec Convention and Exhibition centre in Singapore from November 30 to December 3. 

The conference will feature an array of topics and panel discussions from the areas of exploration to production, and gas technology and recovery.

The OSEA Leaders’ Summit will be making its debut at this year’s conference with industry heavyweight like John Westwood to give his forecast on the prospects for the global offshore industry. Executives from Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO), Ebara, ExxonMobil, GL Global Denton, J. Ray McDermott, and Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) will also be speaking.

Featuring 1,500 international exhibitors, OSEA2010 will be the largest edition, said organiser Singapore Exhibition Services Pte Ltd. As the largest oil and gas exhibition and conference in the Asia Pacific region, the event is expected to attract the participation of over 22,000 business and thought leaders, industry professionals and government officials from 60 countries and regions. 

The event sees perennial participation by surface technologies giants such as Keppel FELS, Yantai Raffles Shipyard, J. Ray McDermott Asia Pacific, Semco Maritime and Prosafe Offshore. Technip Geoproduction, SapuraCrest Petroleum and Subsea7 will also be present.

The event will feature 11 international group pavilions from Australia, China, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States and UK.

The increase in subsea installation and production to exploit resources in deeper, less accessible waters in the region has driven demand for subsea technologies and services. 

B. T. Tee, project director of OSEA at Singapore Exhibition Services (SES), said:

“The subsea industry is growing in importance, with many deep-water discoveries in the Asia-Pacific region like Australia, China, India, Malaysia and the Philippines.

“There had also been deals and contracts concluded recently, for instance, the US$25 million subsea contract awarded to Hallin Marine – which clearly indicates that companies will be looking out for more advanced subsea technologies and services.  OSEA2010 will be the sourcing ground for the oil and gas industry for the latest technologies for prospecting to production and share market insights, right in Singapore, the oil hub of Asia.”

Daniel Thompson, counsellor for commercial affairs at the US Embassy Singapore, which is supporting the US pavilion, said:

“Oil and gas companies should look to OSEA2010 to keep abreast of the latest technologies and as an opportunity to reach their customers in the region. US companies ranging from instrumentation to oil rig components will exhibit at OSEA2010 to meet and network with potential business partners. I am certain that OSEA2010 will exceed expectations.”
