'Umbilicals: The Future' was the title of a Joint Industry Programme that aimed to improve umbilical technology to meet new and more demanding subsea applications. The R&D programme followed on from an OSO study, which found that the industry was not well supported by appropriate international standards or guidelines. The results of the two–year project– sponsored by Amerada Hess, BP, Brasoil, British Gas, Elf, OSO, Shell, Statoil, and Texaco– are comprehensively covered in these proceedings.
