ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, will feature new and established technologies that improve all aspects of oil and gas processes at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) to be held May 5-8 in Houston. ABB, Baldor, and Thomas & Betts will showcase these solutions in booth 4163 (Reliant Center), 7022 (Reliant Arena) and 5255 (Reliant Center) respectively.
OTC is a leading forum for the development of offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production and environmental protection. It is held annually at Reliant Park in Houston.
“With the resurgence of the oil and gas industry, particularly in North America, new technologies and products to help operations run efficiently and safely are in high demand,” said Brandon Spencer, head of ABB’s Chemical, Oil and Gas business in the US. “OTC is an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate how we can help existing and new oil and gas operations run at peak performance.”
ABB offers the industry’s most comprehensive range of products and services that make the process of obtaining, delivering and using all types of energy more reliable and efficient, from all parts of oil and gas resource development, production and delivery to power grid reliability to alternative energy. Its unique capability to integrate operations and systems, such as offshore platforms, drilling vessels, land-based operations, process and power management systems, help oil and gas customers keep their production online while maintaining the highest levels of efficiency, safety and process reliability.
The ABB SmartSquad, a dedicated team of ABB’s most renowned subject matter experts, will be at the show to share their insights on overall oil and gas industry issues, answer technical questions, and cover specific topics of interest each hour. They will be at the ABB SmartBar in booth #4163; follow this link for the schedule of topics to be highlighted.
