Influenced by world economy situation as well as the oil price, the offshore engineering market is down in the first half year of 2015, but the strategic marine economy development is a trend. The offshore oil production takes up 85% of China’s newly increased oil production and it is obvious that China’s offshore market is a key to the global offshore engineering market. Meanwhile, China’s offshore engineering equipment will meet historic development opportunity as the world’s offshore engineering equipment industry is shifting its emphasis to Asia.

Based upon the opportunity and challenge of world’s market, “Innovation driving deep water development”becomes the only way for offshore equipment industry development. According to "Made in China 2025" plan, realizing the offshore the strategy of strengthening maritime power needs to firm up the innovation-driven development. A series of policies for deepening the reform and speeding the development will all promote the offshore engineering industry’s high-end development.

Inheriting the former five sessions of the China Offshore Engineering Summit and to promote the oil and gas development in Hainan Province, the 6th China Offshore Engineering Summit will invite industry experts, academicians and scholars to share the experience, discuss about the current situation and analyze the future development of the offshore engineering market to forece the rapid development of China as well as the whole world deepwater exploitation.
