Introduction

In the current challenging oil price environment, the industry must be resolved to work together in a collaborative effort to increase our productivity. The challenge includes addressing the issues of safety, equipment reliability and reducing non-productive time. New technologies will assist the industry’s efforts to meet these issues.

Once again, IADC will convene its International Deepwater Drilling Conference in Brazil, one of the preeminent deepwater venues in the world. The conference will examine cutting-edge technological advances and challenges for deepwater drilling and completions in key deepwater markets worldwide.
