From the Director of Offshore Conferences
On behalf of the advisory board, PennWell, and Offshore magazine, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 Deep Offshore Technology International Conference & Exhibition, Oct. 11-13, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. This is a milestone year for DOT – it marks the event's 30th year of technology exchange and its return to a once-a-year schedule. In addition to the traditional three-track technical conference, DOT for the first time is offering an extended opening plenary session and the Offshore Risk Management Forum.
Appropriately, DOT returns to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico where operators are moving ahead with multi-billion dollar developments. We are delighted that one of those operators – Hess Corp. – is the host of this year's DOT. The operator brings a unique perspective to the event, given its active participation in international deepwater developments.
Hess recently announced plans to install a new hub development facility on its Tubular Bells field in the deepwater GoM, and it also reported a discovery in the deepwater Tano/Cape Three Points license, offshore Ghana. Stan Bond, VP Development – Offshore Americas and West Africa, Hess, will give the Keynote Address in the Opening Plenary Session.
After a short coffee break, senior-level managers from operating companies, in a plenary format, will draw on experiences from high-profile deepwater projects including Cascade/Chinook, Jubilee, Perdido, and Who Dat. A panel discussion on the subject of asset integrity closes the first day.
The subsequent, three-track technical conference comprises sessions on subsea technology, well construction and drilling operations, production optimization, flow assurance, construction and installation, safety, risk and reliability, among others. As you will notice, an extensive list of international and national operating companies are scheduled to give technical presentations.
And the Offshore Risk Management Forum, which is integrated in the technical conference, covers political and regulatory considerations, drilling safety, contract risk and insurance issues, and effective crisis management.
On behalf of the entire conference team, thank you for your continued interest and support of DOT. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Sincerely,
David Paganie

| From the Advisory Board Chairman
On behalf of the Advisory Board and PennWell, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 Deep Offshore Technology International Conference. Deep Offshore Technology has been showcasing pioneering technology that has been shaping the future of the deep and ultra-deepwater industry for 30 years. I can't wait to see what is next.
The Advisory Board has assembled an outstanding program for this year's event. This conference focuses on deepwater challenges and opportunities. By openly sharing industry experiences through case histories and lessons learned, presented by those who have actually worked the items, our industry will grow and prosper. I encourage you to participate in the presentations by asking questions, adding comments, and sharing your experiences.
Technical sessions will cover topics such as:
• Floating production facilities
• Subsea technology
• Well construction and drilling operations
• Mooring and station keeping
• Flow assurance
• Marginal field development
• Offshore risk management
• Riser technology
• Technology development initiatives.
Please visit the exhibitors and interact with other delegates. A great deal of information and experience is available to you through this interaction.
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Advisory Board, the presenters, and all of the exhibitors and sponsors for making this Conference and Exhibition possible. Designing, building, installing, and commissioning offshore facilities has been an important part of my life for the last 40 years. Attending a conference such as this one keeps my interest high, helps me keep abreast of advancements, and most importantly allows me to maintain a network of knowledgeable individuals interested in the same technology that I am. I hope this conference does the same for you and thank you for attending.
Regards,
James A. Britch, P.E.

He will discuss how the industry has evolved since the first Deep Offshore Technology International Conference was held 30 years ago. Along with today's increased awareness of environment, health, safety and social responsibility issues, several noteworthy innovations have increased our capabilities and allowed the industry to continually push forward the boundaries of possibility. Resources that once could not be developed are accessible today because of the advances in industry technology.
Bond will highlight aspects from projects that illustrate these changes over the years, culminating the presentation with upcoming Hess projects currently in the planning or execution phases.

More than 20 of the oil and gas industry's foremost experts will gather for a one-day series of panel discussions covering the changing landscape of regulatory and political risk, operational risk, contract risk, and other forms of risk specific to the offshore industry.
New regulations, requirements, and operating procedures are emerging both in the US and globally in the wake of the Macondo well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, offshore operators and support industries are forced to examine how they deal with contract risk, operational risk, and enterprise risk, and other forms of risk.
