You are invited to join colleagues from industry, academia and government at the 27th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2008) which will be held at the Estoril Congress Centre, in Estoril, Portugal between 15-20 June 2008.
The event is organised by ASME International, the OOAE Division of the International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI), and the Instituto Superior Técnico (Technical University of Lisbon), through its Unit of Marine Technology and Engineering and is sponsored by various professional associations of many countries.
The objective of this annual international event is to provide a forum for the scientific and industrial community from around the world to meet and present advances in technology and its scientific support, to exchange ideas and experience whilst promoting technological progress and its application in industry as well as international cooperation in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering.
The Conference proceedings will be indexed in the ISI Web of Knowledge.
The Conference will have nine traditional Symposia and will be complemented by four Special Symposia
Industrial Workshop on Risers for Deepwater - Worldwide Field Experiences
This workshop objective is to show some important applications of Riser technology in the challenging deepwater scenario.
Focusing the presentations on significant achievements of the industry, the workshop will show different concepts of structures, covering from design to installation and also the behavior, when operational data is available.
Riser structures for deepwater require very careful design, taking into account, as representatively as possible, the complex system of loads acting during the installation and operational phases. Successful applications of these structures help the industry to move forward, allowing the addition of important sources of energy, helping to fill the global increasing needs.
The practical experience point of view added to the challenges faced during the development will help the participant to establish the correct dimension of the scientific content of the solutions, without which these achievements wouldn't be possible.
Join this unique opportunity of learning from the facts, following some of the most relevant applications of Deepwater Riser technology.

Industrial Workshop on Advances on Strain-Based Designs of Pipelines
Safe and economic development of hydrocarbons resources in remote challenging environments (e.g. arctic, seismic, subsea high
pressure/temperature) will potentially require advances in pipeline design and materials engineering. Some of the pipeline related technical challenges associated with the development of these resources are the need for accommodating large deformations due to permafrost related frost heave & thaw settlement, earthquake induced surface ground motions, and thermal buckling and cycling of flowlines.
To address these technical challenges, several major efforts related to strain-based design of pipelines are currently being undertaken by the industry, consultants, and pipe steel suppliers. In order to provide a forum for discussion on some of the recent advances with development of strain-based design methods, a one-day workshop will be conducted at OMAE 2008. Primary objective of this workshop is to bring together technical experts from various organizations working in the area of strain-based designs to present their recent technical developments and to engage in discussions on potential codified methods and associated technology needs. Some topics of interest at this workshop, include, computational and experimental methods for characterization and verification of strain capacity, ECA methods to address strain-based designs, welding & joining technologies, line pipe
developments.

Additionally, other workshops, seminars, panel discussions and round tables are planned.
For the second year, the Outreach to Engineers Specialty Forum is planned to run during the OMAE Conference in Estoril.
National and International companies and organisations are welcomed to sponsor and participate in the Conference.
