In order to build an open platform for technology exchange on the exploration and development of global marine energy resources and, at the same time, to further promote the international cooperation between Chinese and Brazilian petroleum enterprises in the development of deepwater oil and gas fields, the 7th International SUT (China) Technical Conference and 2nd China-Brazil Deepwater Forum will be held in Beijing during 26-30 September 2018.

Specialists and scholars from domestic and overseas research, engineering and operation organisations are invited to share knowledge on the latest advances in subsea technologies.
The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), is the world’s most influential academic organisation for underwater engineering. It was established in 1966 and is headquartered in London, England. It is a multi-disciplinary society that gathers institutions and individuals concerned with underwater technology, marine science and ocean engineering.

The annual SUT (China) Conference has been successfully held in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Qingdao, Beijing (twice) and Haikou since 2012.

The biennial China-Brazil Deepwater Forum was initiated by China University of Petroleum (Beijing) and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The inaugural forum was held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
