Offshore engineering will see a promising future amid the bullish crude oil price scenario, giving incentives to oil and gas operators and rig players to tap hydrocarbon reserves in deepwater areas. The need for replacing aging drilling platforms also gears up the fabrication momentum in China and elsewhere. Current trends tip to building drillships and floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) units for operations in Brazil, Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Africa and Asia Pacific. China Offshore Engineering Symposium (COES) 2012 is designed to provide the latest information on offshore engineering with a focus on FLNG and drillship, aiming to share the knowledge of the up-to-date building concepts with the industry participants. It will address the issues on global rig demand scenario, fabrication focus, rig requirements by Chinese oil companies, capacity of Chinese yards and project financing.
