Subsea Control and Data Acquisition

The proceedings of this important conference are aimed at those engaged in remote control and monitoring of underwater systems. All aspects of underwater engineering are covered including underwater repair and replacement. Adoption of oceanographic, defence and marine technology to meet the needs of the offshore oil and gas industry will be of particular interest.

Subsea Control and Data Acquisition will be essential reading for those in the offshore oil and gas industry who have involvement in, or responsibility for, subsea production control and monitoring systems as well as those in industry who are dealing with related technologies.
