Attendance at the 2015 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) at NRG Park in Houston, Texas, recorded the sixth-largest attendance in OTC’s 47-year history. The sold-out exhibition was the largest in conference history with exhibitors from 37 countries. The three-day event included 11 panel sessions, 29 executive keynote presentations, and nearly 300 technical paper presentations.
Dr. Patrick Sullivan, founder and CEO, and Dr. Vinod Veedu, Director of Strategic Initiatives, connected with major, independent, and national oil companies; federal and regional government officials; and academics at the conference held 4 to 7 May. Visitors at the Department of Energy Booth were excited to discover Oceanit’s latest technology solutions and learn about the firm’s process of innovation through intellectual anarchy ability to bring technology from mind to market and rapid deployment of technologies to resolve industry issues.
“We connected with most of the major oil and gas companies in the world in just a few days,” said Dr. Sullivan. “It’s a great conference to get a pulse of the industry. My assessment is that the next level of oil and gas development will require much more innovation.”
