Offshore Technology International is designed to keep upstream oil and gas industry professionals informed of the latest technical and scientific developments in exploration and production technology. The publication draws on the expertise of editor David Galbraith and the world’s leading authorities in E&P to provide its readers with an unbiased review of both current and emerging technologies.

Offshore Technology International covers all key stages of exploration and production and contains previously unpublished technical and scientific research papers and case study articles, which address the key issues and challenges facing the upstream oil and gas industry. Each article is written specifically for the project by prominent industry professionals and key opinion leaders and is therefore required reading for senior executives, engineers, procurement directors, operations professionals and other senior technical personnel within oil exploration and production companies.

As well as keeping upstream professionals abreast of the latest developments affecting the industry, Offshore Technology International enables them to locate the service providers they require from a single source and build a comprehensive database of reference material for projects they are undertaking.
