Mr. R. J. "Bob" Brown has over forty six years of experience in the offshore pipeline industry. Among his many awards and recognitions, he has received the OTC Heritage, ASCE Stephen D. Bechtel, and "Pipeliner of the Year" Awards for his outstanding contributions to the oil and gas industry. Mr. Brown is currently Director of RJ Brown Deepwater, Inc., which is part of the Technip Offshore Group, who are playing an important role in the development of pipeline installations for offshore energy projects.

Dr. Roger King has over 30 years’ experience of corrosion in the oil, gas, civil, and nuclear industries. Dr King ran the premier microbiological corrosion group at UMIST for seven years; the group accumulated over 150 man-years of research into corrosion by micro-organisms. The group published over 100 theses, dissertations and papers on bacterial corrosion and its prevention and treatment. He also has specialist knowledge of sweet and sour corrosion and its prevention by chemical inhibition, monitoring of corrosion and the design of efficient cathodic-protection systems for flowlines, structures, and seabed installations. He has been an independent consultant since September, 1989, and prior to this was a founder member of the Corrosion and Protection Centre Industrial Service (CAPCIS) at the University of Manchester, UK.
