Subsea Controls and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a unique, long established international conference which represents the oil industry control systems groups and deals with control, communication, remote data acquisition and the enabling technologies associated with hydrocarbon exploitation from the subsea environment. This conference is aimed at professionals working in the field of subsea engineering. The emphasis is placed on future technology requirements, availability and obsolescence. Equally, importance has been placed on global issues such as environment, decommissioning, deepwater problems and long-distance offsets.

Topics include: all-electric systems, seabed processing, fibre optic transmission and distributed systems. Reliability of systems continues to play a dominant role, coupled with contributions from professionals giving experience gained and new challenges to overcome. Subsea Controls and Data Acquisition 2006, therefore, is of interest to all in subsea engineering. Includes 134 figures and tables in colour and 14 chapters.
