Surging demand and robust outlook for the subsea sector
New oil and gas exploration licenses in numerous regions around the world have led to increased opportunities for subsea support vessels, particularly those involved in subsea construction, installation, well intervention, and IMR projects. These developments demonstrate a positive trend in subsea exploration and related services, creating opportunities for industry players.
The annual OSJ Subsea Conference plays a crucial role in keeping professionals informed of industry developments. Staying up to date with trends and drivers is essential, especially in the dynamic field of subsea development and technology. Advancements in technology continue to shape vessel design and capabilities. Join us at OSJ Subsea to see how next generation vessels are evolving to meet the demands of offshore operations.
The one-day conference will update you on:
- Key trends, market data and industry developments
- Regional opportunities for subsea vessels
- Latest developments and opportunities for DSVs
- Outlook and opportunities for the IMR sector
- Industry advances in ROV and AUV technologies for subsea operation
- Drivers and trends, and what’s driving growth in the subsea well intervention vessels market
- Innovations in hybrid subsea vessels
- Future fuels, the energy transition and decarbonisation: impact on the subsea vessel of the future
