Dear colleagues,
The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) Board of directors approved in 2009 to launch a new conference dedicated to the Arctic — the Arctic Technology Conference (ATC). On behalf of the ATC 2011 Program Committee, ATC sponsoring organizations and the OTC Board of Directors, it is my honor to invite you to this first Arctic Technology Conference.
Capitalizing on OTC experience, ATC is a truly international event focused on the cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices needed for exploration and production of energies in the Arctic, emphasizing respect for the people and the environment of this harsh region.
The Program will include senior industry executives and technicians who will share their vision on the development of these energies. Technical experts will present their knowledge and ideas on the exploration and production of the U.S., Canadian, Russian, and Norwegian onshore and offshore Arctic basins.
ATC will provide a world-class venue to present creative solutions to this challenging Arctic arena. With a highly specialized technical program of over 150 presentations, high-level speakers, networking events and exhibition, ATC will provide opportunities for gaining additional experience and expertise to oil and gas professionals who attend.
ATC will deliver a multidisciplinary program covering all aspects of Arctic activity. The program has been developed focusing on 7 key topical areas: resources; exploration drilling; production drilling, facilities and export; physical environment; logistics and marine transport; regulatory and environment. We hope you’ll agree that this span of topics effectively encompasses the issues that need to be addressed today.
Finally, do not forget the evening receptions to network and share your views with colleagues. We hope you will make the most of this ATC and I personally look forward to meeting you there.
See you in Houston in February!
