Subsea Survey 2011 is now accepting abstracts for presentation in Houston.
Note: Subsea Survey IRM recognizes the tendency for conference organizers to accept papers that have been recently given at other conferences.
Survey
The conference is seeking presentations on projects, case studies or applications related to performing survey work for the offshore oil & gas industry, including subsea field development, pipeline installation and infield fiber optic networks.
Of special interest are the techniques utilized to perform the work, from 3D and 4D geophysical systems to shipboard Multibeam systems and towed sonar systems to utilizing ROVs, AUVs, gliders and other tools.
Survey projects in ultra-deepwater utilizing novel and leading-edge approaches are desired.
Papers on environmental assessment, geotechnical work, seismic and route, site, pipeline and abandonment surveys are relevant.
Metocean
Realizing the importance of accurate metocean in oil & gas operations, the topic is being added to the Subsea Survey IRM technical program.
The collection of metocean data is often a requirement for offshore exploration, the quality assurance and analysis of collected metocean data are a vital component in the design, installation and operation of fixed structures, floating production facilities and pipelines. The metocean field continues to evolve with rapid changes in instrumentation, data analysis processes and our understanding of the physical processes of the environment.
Subsea Inspection, Repair and Maintenance (IRM)
The conference is seeking presentations on projects or case studies or applications related to performing IRM work for the offshore oil & gas industry.
Of special interest are the techniques utilized to perform the work utilizing ROVs and AUVs for IRM tasks.
In addition, the conference will focus on the regulatory side of IRM and welcome presentations from the agencies responsible for IRM regulations as well as new requirements imposed by the operators themselves.
Submission & Selection
Selection of papers will be based on the relevance to the above topics and to the solutions and/or benefits the subject matter will provide to the delegates in attendance.
