This multi-disciplinary learned society brings together organizations and individuals with a common interests and underwater technology ocean science and offshore engineering the SUT was founded in 1966 and has members from more than 30 countries including engineers scientists other professionals and students working in these areas.

The SUT was founded to promote the further understanding of the underwater environment and to encourage
cross fertilization and dissemination of ideas, experience and information between workers in academic research, applied research and technology, industry and government development of techniques and tools to explore and study oceans, proper economic and sociological use of our resources in and beneath the oceans, further education of scientists and technologists to maintain high standards in marine science and technology.

Deepwater Intervention Forum

Deepwater Intervention Forum
"Fit for Pupose Technologies"
August 17-19, 2010
Hilton Galveston Hotel & Convention Center

Key operators and service industry personnel will discuss and share experiences/challenges within the deepwater intervention market. With the continuing growth in subsea tieback developments, finding ways to avoid or reduce workover and thru-tubing well intervention costs is becoming critical for operators with mature assets. Forum attendees will be able to discover the latest systems and technologies available, learn from recent intervention case studies, and network with industry experts working on deepwater interventions worldwide
