Description: The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) is where energy professionals meet to exchange ideas and opinions to advance scientific and technical knowledge for offshore resources and environmental matters. Founded in 1969, OTC’s flagship conference is held annually at NRG Park (formerly Reliant Park) in Houston. OTC has expanded technically and globally with the Arctic Technology Conference, OTC Brasil, and OTC Asia. OTC is sponsored by 13 industry organizations and societies, who work cooperatively to develop the technical program. OTC also has endorsing and supporting organizations.

Description: Founded in 1898, the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) is the leading technical society of professionals in the Canadian Minerals, Metals, Materials and Energy Industries. CIM has over 14,600 members, convened from industry, academia and government. With 10 Technical Societies and over 35 Branches, our members help shape, lead and connect Canada’s mining industry, both within our borders and across the globe. The first Annual Interprovincial Congress was held from March 1 to 3, 1899 at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal. CIM has always maintained three main objectives: - to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and technology - to foster networking, professional development and fraternity - to recognize excellence and outstanding achievements in the minerals industry VISION - World-class professional development, networking, and knowledge sharing. PURPOSE The core purpose of CIM is to serve minerals, materials and petroleum industries and professionals around the world. We will achieve this by: - Being the preferred source of knowledge and best practices. - Facilitating learning and continuous professional development. - Facilitating collaboration among all constituents. - Providing leadership in the development and use of industry standards. - Promoting our industries to society. - Recognizing excellence and outstanding achievements. - Providing networking opportunities Learn about the Benefits of a CIM Membership, and join us as we continue to make history in the minerals industry.

The book tells the story of CIM, from its roots in the first provincial mining associations, to its present status as an internationally respected, dynamic organization of more than 14,000 members. CIM has been the professional association of mining engineers, metallurgists, geologists and others connected with Canada’s minerals industry for over one hundred years. It is member driven and member led. Its formation was the vision of one man, B.T.A. Bell, a mining journalist of exceptional talent and energy. In 1891, he had convinced mining men in Quebec that their common interests could best be served in what became the General Mining Association of the Province of Quebec. Similar organizations soon emerged in Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia. A federation was formed in 1896, and two years later, the Canadian Mining Institute was born, with Bell as its first Secretary. Then, as now, CIM’s main precepts were knowledge and fellowship. The purpose of the Institute, which always strived to be relevant to a growing and increasingly diverse membership, addresses recurring issues since its beginnings. Its organizational structure, relations within the Institute, membership qualifications, and finances serve a strong governance and management model. CIM’s history encompasses its load of discriminatory legislation, continuous improvement in services to a growing and changing industry, relationships with other institutions, and internal congresses. The Institute lived through world wars, boom and bust in the minerals industry as well as professionalism and environmental stewardship.

Description: The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and a coalition of energy advocates submitted a petition to the Department of Energy to increase efficiency in industrial electric motors not covered under the latest small motor rule. A Final Rule was issued in March, 2014 which will broaden the scope of coverage left behind from the Energy Independence & Security Act (EISA) of 2007. The Integral Horsepower will go into effect June 1, 2016 and supersede the EISA 2007 laws.

The Integral Horsepower Rule will replace the current Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) requiring the majority of 1 – 500 Horsepower (and equivalent Kilowatt) motors to meet Premium Efficiency levels in accordance with NEMA MG 1, Table 12-12. By meeting premium efficiency levels, the coverage will allow compliance and enforcement much easier. The rule is particularly important to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) producing equipment with exempt motors under EISA 2007.
