Conference to showcase AVEVA’s growing offshore business

Houston, TX – January 25, 2012: AVEVA (LSE:AVV), announced today it will sponsor the Opening Night Networking Reception at the upcoming Topsides 2012 Conference and Exhibition. AVEVA will also exhibit at the show, which focuses on the engineering, design, construction and installation of offshore production systems. The conference runs January 31 to February 2, 2012, at the New Orleans Riverside Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana.

“The Topsides 2012 Conference is a natural strategic fit for AVEVA,” explained William Muldoon, AVEVA’s Executive Vice President. “The offshore sector represents an important segment of our business and it’s been growing steadily as the quest for harder to reach deepwater resources intensifies.

“With this increasing demand comes an ever greater need for hulls, platforms, topsides and decks. And with industry leading software solutions such as AVEVA Marine, AVEVA Plant and AVEVA Enterprise, we’re the company Owner Operators and Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms look to first when they launch offshore projects,” he said.

Muldoon pointed out AVEVA is no newcomer to the offshore industry, with hundreds of customers around the world and a proven track record with assets in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and Brazil, among others.

“Customers have counted on AVEVA software solutions for decades,” Muldoon said. “They come to us for engineering, design and information management solutions for some of the largest, most complex offshore projects in existence: floating production offloading and storage vessels (FPSOs), as well as production platform topsides and other critical components. They know that AVEVA helps them deliver more accurate engineering and fewer reworks, which can save them valuable time and money, and lead to faster first production for Owner Operators.” 

Topsides 2012 kicks off January 31 with the AVEVA-sponsored networking reception from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The conference and exhibition begins the next morning in the exhibit halls. AVEVA will be in booth 206.
