The fifth Artic Technology Conference (ATC) was held in Houston, 5-7 November 2018, under the direction of Peter Noble, ATC Program Committee Chair. Jim Barbera served as OES Oversight Committee Representative and Jerry Carroll, Chair of the OES Technical Program Committee. Our VP of Technical Activities, Mal Heron, attended and helped chair sessions and the exhibit booth. The Conference was held at the Hilton America’s Hotel, which presented an excellent venue with facilities very close and adjacent to the hotel. The receptions and coffee breaks were held in the exhibit hall. There were excellent technical papers presented at the conference by very skilled and professional presenters. Alaska is the United States’ frontier for the Arctic and will represent most of the U.S. activities. The Prudhoe Bay Field, which is the countries’ third largest producer of oil and gas, will be shipping LNG to the Asian countries. The possibility exists that when the Arctic Ocean is open, LNG may be shipped to the European Countries by the Northern Route. This will represent a major interest of the U.S. in the Arctic Ocean. The OTC Board and the ATC Program Committee will be discussing when and where the next ATC will be held.
