This document provides information about the "Winterization of Offshore Facilities" event being held in London on February 4-5, 2015. The two-day event will focus on identifying winterization priorities and requirements for offshore facilities operating in Arctic conditions through presentations, workshops, and group discussions. Speakers will address topics such as meeting regulatory standards, utilizing weather forecasting to reduce risks, winterization challenges for different types of offshore facilities, and new technologies for winterization. Attendees will include engineers and managers seeking to understand how to protect offshore equipment, ensure safe operations, and reduce costs for facilities operating in Arctic environments.
