Technological Innovations and Advances in Subsea

For a long time, the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry has faced challenges transitioning from onshore to offshore operations, moving from shallow to deep and ultra-deep waters. Today, the industry confronts a new paradigm. Global demands for reduced greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions, coupled with the need for faster, safer, more reliable, and cost-effective production, have imposed stringent requirements and restrictions on operations. 

Analyzing the current energy scenario, it is evident that the O&G industry must transform its operational approaches. This session provides an ideal platform to showcase how subsea engineering developments and innovations can address these new realities. It is no longer sufficient to accept the ordinary; we must strive for the extraordinary.
