Session 2

“MEDITERRANEAN - SEA
OF OPPORTUNITIES”
have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the fifth Offshore
Mediterranean Conference and Exhibition that will take place in
Ravenna, Italy, on March 28-30, 2001.
I
OMC 2001 will be the first important petroleum event in the
Mediterranean area of the Third Millennium, the first decades of which will
undoubtedly be of dramatical importance for the oil industry dedicating
huge efforts and funds in innovation and new technologies, as well as investing in the construction of infrastructures for the transfer of energy. In fact
the boiling projects and ideas where to ship the huge reserves
of oil and gas from North Africa, the Middle East and
Central Asia are converging into the Mediterranean.
That is why the general theme of the forthcoming
OMC 2001 is:
“Mediterranean – Sea of Opportunities”
Eminent keynote speakers will discuss “The Evolving
Geo-economics of the Oil & Gas in the
Mediterranean” during the Opening Plenary Session on
March 28, 2001 while the programme of the closing day
includes a Round Table on E-Business. Moreover a Panel Session on
“Environmental Issues Related to Exploitation and Decommissioning of
Offshore Platforms” is scheduled on Thursday morning.
Representatives from the involved countries, like Egypt, Libya, Algeria,
Tunisia, Iraq, Europe and Central Asia Countries will highlight their viewpoints offering the international oil industry convened at OMC 2001 the
chance to better plan and monitor future investments in the Mediterranean area.
The conference programme will comprise three parallel sessions covering all
aspects of the Exploration and Production activities, as well as special session
dedicated to Instrumentation and Automation Systems applied to Offshore
industry.
At OMC 2001 we are happy to offer delegates and exhibitors an attractive
social programme as we did in the previous editions:
the 9th OMC golf tournament, a Gala Dinner and an unforgettable gala
concert in one of the most beautiful basilicas of Ravenna.
It is for me a honour to inform that the recently started co-operation with
the Egyptian Petroleum Authorities that led to the organisation of MOC
2000 in Alexandria last April is now consolidated and I can announce that
the second edition of the Mediterranean Offshore Conference and
Exhibition will take place in Egypt in 2002. The Mediterranean will thus
host a conference and exhibition yearly, alternatively in Italy and Egypt.
As far as OMC 2001 is concerned delegates and exhibitors will have the
chance to combine business and leisure. In fact, besides its area of historic
interest in town and its surroundings, Ravenna is located in a very favourable position for tourism as it is only 90 miles from Venice and 85 miles from
Florence.
Do not miss this opportunity.
Join us in Ravenna on March 28-30, 2001!

SECTION
S P E I TA L I A N S E C T I O N
SPE – Society of Petroleum Engineers – origins date back to 1913.This
was the time when technicians involved in E&P in Pennsylvania and
Texas, considered to be the cradle of oil in the USA, felt the need to
associate to discuss problem solving and share ideas related to oil, a fundamental energy source for the growing world industry.
Almost 90 years later, more than 55000 professionals from oil and gas
producing regions around the world are members of SPE International.
Up to the mid 80’s SPE in Italy was represented by only about 10 members of SPE International.
In December 1985 some members decided to establish an independent
section. SPE Adriatic Section was born on 24th July 1986, including
former Yugoslavia and Austria members. After SPE Croatia and SPE
Austria decided to become independent, the section was renamed SPE
Italian Section.To date SPE Italian Section counts 500 members.
Its Chairman holds a 2 year mandate and is chosen amongst important
E&P experts in Italy and all over the world.
The present chairman is
• Enzo TITONE
From July 1988 SPE publishes and distributes 1100 copies of its
Bulletin.
SPE Italian Section activity is differenciated and includes involvement
in university training. In fact two branches called Student Chapters
work at Bologna and Turin Universities to teach students about research
and production technologies.Together with Assomineraria and EAGE,
SPE awards eight student grants to the best dissertations on oil and gas
within Italian universities. It also organises conferences and seminars to
discuss problems and innovations worldwide. In 1996 SPE European
meeting was organised in Milan, gathering major international oilmen.
In 2000 the focus was on hydrocarbons research and environmental preservation; a series of seminars was held in San Donato Milanese,
Ravenna, Potenza, ending in Rome on 7th November 2000.
ISA Cooperation
with OMC 2001
I
SA, the 55 year old Instrument Society of America recently
renamed the international “Instrumentation, Systems and
Automation Society” and currently counts more than 43000
members throughout the World.
ISA has grown far beyond USA boundaries and has reached into
systems, automation, measurement and controls, sensors and
motion control, affecting discrete manufacturing, batch processing and networking. ISA members work in research and development, engineering, software development, marketing/sales,
operations, production and management.
Today ISA is cooperating to organize the fifth Offshore
Mediterranean Conference and Exhibition - OMC 2001.
Cooperation with OMC 2001 is supported by the two Italian
Sections, Italy Section, located in Milan, and Rome Section.
OMC 2001 reserved to ISA an exhibition area and a conference time, both consecrated to instrumentation with Offshore
applications.
Mr. Piergiuseppe Zani from Milan - Italy, who in 2002 will be
the first not North American ISA President, will open the
Instrumentation Conference introducing ISA and its activity.
Mr. Robert. M. Bailliet, who is 2001 ISA President and an
Offshore Expert, will open the programme of the
Instrumentation Conference. The title of his presentation is:
“Deepwater Challenges for Instrumentation and Control”.
