The Energy Field of the Future

The Society for Underwater Technology, The Hydrographic Society UK and Ireland (THS: UK&I) Scotland Branch and The International Marine Contractors Association are jointly holding our well-respected joint industry seminar 10th November 2022 at the Crowne Plaza in Aberdeen, UK.

The energy industry is currently experiencing a period of significant change, with ever-increasing focus on sustainability, while marine and underwater technologies continue to advance. With this scale of change ongoing, what does the field of the future look like, and how close are we to achieving ‘Net Zero’ targets? What transformative technologies and strategies will have the greatest impact to: operational efficiency, value creation, and Net Zero operations? How do we accelerate the integration of these solutions within our existing offshore assets?
