OTC 2016 – Learning Resources

otc 2016 logoThe Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is what EKT Interactive President Marty Stetzer likes to call ‘the largest science fair in the world.’

It is actually the largest oil and gas conference in the world with well over 100,000 people visiting each year. Held in Houston, TX, OTC 2016 is sure to live up to expectations despite the challenging oil and gas environment this year.

We have put together some great materials for you to prepare for OTC 2016, including articles, podcasts, ebooks, and live courses related to all of the current trends and challenges in offshore drilling.

Get Started With EKT Interactive

EKT Interactive Associate Terry Gardner is an industry veteran with decades of experience in the offshore and deepwater segments of the oil and gas industry.  You can learn more about his background in our podcast with him below.

 

Offshore E-Books, Articles and Courses

Terry has contributed two ebooks to our learning community as well as an article that was published in respected industry magazine, Plant Engineering, where you can read more about The Challenge in Maintaining Deepwater Wells.

Two ebooks introduce topics related to Offshore Drilling and Production, especially in deepwater.  Those ebooks are available now to members of our free oil and gas learning community.

Learn More With Terry Gardner’s SPE Course: Deepwater Drilling and Production Technology

For those looking for a bit more of an in-depth education or update in current offshore and deepwater issues before attending the OTC, we recommend Terry’s Deepwater Drilling and Production Technology course, hosted by the SPE.

This course will give you a better understanding of the challenges faced in deepwater oil and gas operations, and what technology has been developed to overcome them. Rapid comprehension of new concepts is through visual illustration using animations, photos, and videos of actual operations.

We hope this helps get you prepared for this amazing event, and there is more to come.

We’ll be there, and hope to see you there as well!
