Subsea control and data acquisition '98 : cost effective challenges for a geographically expanding industry ; proceedings of an international conference held in London, UK, 22/23 April 1998

iv, 224 pages : illustrations ; 30 cm. SCADA is a unique, long established international conference which represents the oil industry control systems groups and deals with control, communication, remote data acquisition and the enabling technologies associated with hydrocarbon exploitation from the subsea environment. This international conference reflects the offshore industry’s response to the challenge of exploiting marginal fields. A recent report commissioned by the Director General of the European Commission stated that marginal fields will make up 50% of production in the North Sea by 2005, and innovative production and control techniques are required to make them as cost effective as possible.
