Join your colleagues from industry, academia and government at the 28th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2009) in Honolulu, Hawaii from May 31 to June 5, 2009.


OMAE 2009 is the ideal forum for researchers, engineers, managers, technicians and students from the scientific and industrial communities from around the world to meet and present advances in technology and its scientific support; to exchange ideas and experiences whilst promoting technological progress and its application in industry; and to promote international cooperation in ocean, offshore and arctic engineering.


Following on the tradition of excellence of previous OMAE conferences, more than 800 technical papers organized into eight regular Symposia are planned for presentation and will be complemented by five Special Symposia:





Plenary Session - Monday, June 1, 2009


Cynthia Thielen

Keynote Lecture: Ocean Renewable Energies in Hawaii and the Pacific


Rep. Cynthia Thielen, Assistant Republican Leader in the Hawaii House of Representatives, has served in the Legislature for 18 years. Her background as an Environmental and Land Use attorney enabled her to become a leading force for renewable energy. Noted internationally as the advocate for wave energy systems, Rep. Thielen has successfully encouraged wave energy companies to bring their technology to Hawaii. In recognition of her work on behalf of the environment, Rep. Thielen received the Legislative Lifetime Achievement Award from the Sierra Club in 2008.


John Murray Keynote Lecture: Offshore Frontiers - Challenges and Solutions


John Murray has over 25 years experience working on offshore structure designs for open water and ice-covered regions. He started his career with the National Research Council Canada in 1985, where he was head of the Ocean Engineering Program, responsible for the Council's national offshore development program. In 1997, he joined Spars International Inc. in Houston. For the past 11 years, Murray has worked primarily in concept development for deepwater floaters and riser designs, both as a Principal Engineer with Technip Offshore and since 2006 as Director of Technology Development with FloaTEC, LLC. Murray holds a PhD in Ocean Engineering, has published over 100 technical papers in journals and conference proceedings, and holds a number of patents. He is a registered professional engineer in Canada and the State of Texas.




C.C. Mei C.C. Mei Symposium on Wave Mechanics and Hydrodynamics


This symposium honors the significant accomplishments of Professor Chiang C. Mei in the fields of wave mechanics and hydrodynamics. Professor Mei has been one of the leaders in these fields. His former and current students and colleagues will join us to celebrate his extraordinary accomplishments in the last 45 years.




Joint Forum of ‘Offshore Technology’ and ‘Structures, Safety and Reliability’ and ‘Ocean Engineering’ Symposia on Shallow Water Waves and Hydrodynamics

Partial List of Topics included are Low frequency wave content of near-shore waves (infra-gravity waves), Near-shore wave propagation and effects of the shoreline, Low-frequency drift forces in long- and short-crested waves, Low-frequency response of moored vessels, Mooring behavior in shallow water, Effects of seabed bathymetry, Methods for shallow-water model testing, Extreme wave propagation in shallow water, Extreme wave statistics in shallow water, Shallow-water wave modeling and associated loads.




Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium

This is the third year that a specialty symposium is being organized to specifically focus on ocean renewable energy developments and challenges. There is a growing worldwide demand to increase the supply of renewable energy and the world’s oceans offer the resources to meet these goals. However, to exploit the potentials offered by ocean energy resources, various regulatory and technology challenges must be addressed by the engineering and scientific communities. The objective of this Symposium is to provide a forum for the presentation of relevant information and views on regulatory and technology issues to enhance the exploitation of ocean renewable energy resource.

Petroleum Technology Symposium

Petroleum Technology Symposium consists of different sub-disciplines within the area of petroleum and mechanical engineering. Some of the topics to be included are: Flow Assurance, Multiphase flow and measurement issues at the well/manifolds and in flowlines, Description and Optimization of Well Performance, Well Completion, Inflow Performance, Systems (Nodal) Analysis, Artificial Lift Design and Analysis, Power requirements for ESPs and long offsets for production, Production Optimization, Drilling Optimization, Drilling Technology, Deepwater HTHP (high temperature high pressure) wells, HIPPS (high integrity pressure protection system).




Offshore Measurement and Data Interpretation Symposium

This symposium is now entering it's third year. The focus is metocean and structural response measurement, in the complex and hostile environment of the real ocean. Interpretation of these data furthers the understanding of metocean processes and how they should be characterised for engineering applications. Some technical areas of interest are:


  • Wave Measurements
  • Ocean Observatories and Metocean Data
  • Offshore Field Measurements
  • Specific Ocean Areas of Interest: Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, Brazil, South China Sea, North Atlantic, among others.




Short Courses Announced for OMAE 2009!

The weekend preceding the conference there will be four short courses taught by world-renowned experts:

Saturday, May 30

  • Vortex Induced Vibrations
  • Ice Engineering


Sunday, May 31

  • Wave Energy Conversion and Resource Assessment
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics

More information on the courses including lecturers, topics and course fees will be ready soon.




OMAE 2009 is organized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OOAE) Division of the International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI), and the University of Hawaii. OMAE 2009 is sponsored by various professional associations of many countries.


Join OMAE 2009 as an author, presenter, sponsor, exhibitor, and delegate!


See you in Honolulu!
