The conference will focus on the use of composites in E&P, drawing on the experiences of decades of use of the materials in the O&G industry and extending it to more challenging scenarios particularly in deepwater conditions. The objective of the conference is therefore to provide a platform for researchers and engineers from academia, industry, research organisations and regulatory & certification agencies to share experience and exchange ideas on the potential, challenges and success stories of composites applications in the O&G industry.

With this in mind, the "Composites Asia Conference and Exhibition 2006 For E&P Applications" is organised to facilitate the sharing of experience and lessons learnt from current and past application of composites in the E&P industry whilst reviewing impending applications and future requirements of the industry together with associated challenges in fulfilling these needs . Special attention will be given to specific composite technological areas that are relevant to as well as those that possess the greatest potential for adoption and achieving success in the Asian E&P scene.

The scope of the Conference covers, but is not retsricted to, the following areas of composites application and technology that are relevant to the O&G industry :

· Repair and Rehabilitation of Structures · Riser · Pipes, including Umbilicals, Flexible, Spoolables and Smart · Synthetic Mooring Ropes · Mechanical Properties, and Short and Long-Term Performance of Composites    ( under exploration, production and associated operation conditions )

The author should submit an abstract of no more than 400 words in MS WORD format and should state clearly the objectives, subject matter and conclusions to be presented in the full paper. The abstract should be accompanied by the authors’ bio data(s) (<100 words) and photo(s).

All final papers MUST be in written 'word format' so that later publication in HydroCarbon Asia and RAMS Asia magazines is possible. 'Power Point' submissions for publication will not be considered, but the presenter should present his paper using Power Point that covers the main points of the paper and various illustrations.
