3 April 2007 - Suntec, Singapore
Held in conjunction with the Sea Asia Exhibition www.sea-asia.com 
Overview
Since their introduction in the mid '70s floating production units haveproved themselves as cost effective viable technical solutions for many remote, deepwater and marginal offshore field developments. There are over 150 such units currently operating around the world. Over 60% of these FPUs have been based on mono-hulls, mainly converted trading vessels but increasing purpose-built hulls particularly for the larger fields with longer service life requirements. However, a diverse range oftechnical solutions including semi-submersible, Tension Leg Platforms(TLP) and spars buoys have been deployed as FPUs.
With the current high oil and gas prices and strong worldwide demand forenergy, many more offshore fields are now becoming viable for development, and many will utilise or require FPUs. It has been forecasted that by 2008, world offshore oil production will increase by 43% and offshore gas production by a staggering 83%. The conference will provide an ideal opportunity for designers, builders and project engineers to learn about the latest projects and technical developments, and to exchange experience in this key offshore development technology.

If you are interested in building relationships in the region then Sea Asia should be an integral part of your business development plan.
Over 5,000 strategic business leaders and purchasing decision makers forecast to attend Sea Asia 2007 from across Asia (literally, from Suez to Sakhalin).
