The eighth annual Offshore Communications 2008 conference is scheduled for Houston, Texas, November 4-6. Connecting with offshore operations is a challenge, and this is the only international event dedicated to communications technologies for Offshore Oil & Gas, Marine, Shipping, Telecom, and Government & Defense industries. Offshore Communications 2008 assists with programs that help companies deal with integrating and managing diverse communications’ portfolios that help optimize offshore operations.
The conference will provide essential insights into how oil and gas executives are applying digital tools that address complex operational requirements for the digital oilfield. This is no easy task and incorporates a multitude of details:
- real-time monitoring surveillance and optimization is one challenge
- collaboration with operational support centers and offshore drilling sites is another
- communications for maritime operations must be instantaneous
- access from offshore platforms to maintenance records must be assured optimizing personnel and assets
