Offshore Drilling On The Chinese Continental Shelf To Be Discussed At OTC Prospective development of petroleum re- sources off the coast of the People's Republic of China and its subsequent impact on West- ern petroleum activities will be discussed in a technical session on "Offshore Industry Technology" at the Sixth Annual Offshore Technology Conference, May 6-8, 1974, at the Astrohall in Houston, Texas. A model of the Chinese offshore situation presently being developed at the 'Massachusetts Institute of Technology will be described at the session by J.O. WiUums, with the depart- ment of ocean engineering at M.I.T. The pur- pose of the model is to determine the impact of future oil and gas discoveries on the Chi- nese and the world energy situation, and to establish the size of the market for Western equipment and 'services. In his paper "Prospects for Offshore Oil and Gas Developments in the People's Repub- lic of China," Mr. Willums will provide a background on the current issues by tracing the development of Chinese petroleum tech- nology from the drilling for natural gas during the Han dynasty (second century B.C.) to China's recent planning for a pipeline project to connect the first offshore fields in the Gulf of Chihili. The social, economic, and political climate will also be analyzed to provide a comprehensive look at the latest trends in China's policy toward Western technology. Other papers scheduled to be presented dur- ing the Offshore Industry Technology session include: "Open Sea Mariculture: Perspectives, Problems, and Promise," by Joe A. Hanson, with the Oceanic Institute in Waimanalo, Ha- waii; "Offshore Oil and Sea Floor Research," by T.F. Gaskell, with Onshore Investments Ltd. in 'London; "Safety Characteristics of Lockheed's Subsea Production System," by G.H. Fahlman, with Lockheed Petroleum Serv- ices Ltd. in British Columbia, Canada; and "International Inventory and Forecast of Ocean Offshore Drilling Rigs, Surface Ves- sels, and 'Certain Undersea Apparatus Owned by United States Petroleum and Mining Com- panies and Foreign Subsidiaries, Year-End 1972 to Year 1985," by Alan Lohse, with Gulf Universities Research Consortium in Houston, and Joseph R. Crump, with the University of Houston. The Offshore Technology Conference is an international technical meeting and exhibition devoted to the, development of the world's offshore resources.
