At the Deepwater Operations Conference & Exhibition in 2009, participants and attendees will discuss how to succeed under these changing conditions. The eighth Deepwater Operations Conference & Exhibition will be held on November 10 – 12, 2009 in Galveston, Texas and will see a return to the luxurious Moody Gardens Hotel and Conference Center.
