Fluid machinery performance is critical for the transport of liquids and gases during extraction and processing of hydrocarbon products. Innovations in fluid machinery can be applied to achieve optimum availability and increased efficiency.

Advances in exploitation and process technology have led to increased pressure and temperature challenges for fluid machinery. Designers must also address the stringent limits on the weight and volume of production equipment. This congress showcases the latest technology and provides a forum for sharing valuable design and operating experiences.

This year the conference takes on a slightly different format, with two days of technical papers and discussion fora plus an optional day of training workshops. We hope this will help delegates minimise the time spent away from the office.
