The registration for Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference 2015, that will be held in Amsterdam on Oct.13 and Oct.14 is now open. The event is expected to attract over 13,500 offshore professionals and more than 650 exhibitors.

Next to the exhibition that covers 4 massive halls at Amsterdam RAI more than 80 speakers representing some of the biggest players in the offshore energy industry will speak at the conference.

This year's theme: Investing in the future of energy, has all the ingredients to be one of the leading international conferences covering all facets of the offshore energy industry.

A mix of leaders from the business, buyers, investors, engineers and other interested parties within the offshore energy sector will get the opportunity to meet each other in four large halls of the Amsterdam RAI, totaling an area of approximately 23,000 square meters.

One of the new and very current themes during Offshore Energy 2015 is Technical Data Management. In this session, lead by Michael Nord from Shell, a discussion will be held on the effects of poor data quality and how improving data management can translate to reduced costs and better informed business decisions in the offshore oil and gas industry.

The event will host HPHT drilling for the first time. In a technical session, the developments in high-pressure, high temperature drilling operations will be discussed. Operators are investing in this challenging new game which is generally seen as offering new potential.

Because new and alternative energy sources could still lead to great corporate opportunities, they will again be explored in this year's program. A specific focus will be put on the developments of marine energy and the extensive possibilities to produce substantial amounts of renewable energy.

The program will be completed by interesting subjects as well intervention vessels best practices and new vessel designs, the role of technological innovation in new business models as part of cost reductions and export control in oil & gas. Moreover, decommissioning and subsea processing are back on the agenda.

Next to the Technical Sessions OEEC offers three special Keynotes where panels from the industry discuss human resources challenges, oil and gas financials and the industry as a whole. These Keynotes are free to attend.
