ABS Stands Out at OTC Houston 2022
After more than two years of virtual and hybrid experiences, the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) Houston came back strong on May 2 – 5 with an exciting in-person event. The show floor was bustling. The technical conference was enlightening. The reconnections were welcoming. And through it all, the ABS stand was buzzing with engagements that supported the event’s theme of how technology advancements support offshore energy projects and the energy transition. Watch a video from OTC Houston.
