This action provides support for four U.S. researchers to participate in, and contribute to, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) workshop, to be held 8-11 October 2000 in Beijing, China. They are scheduled to give keynote addresses and invited lectures, and will form the backbone of the U.S. representation at this important workshop. The U.S. participants will contribute several articles on the workshop to U.S. technical publications in construction (Engineering News Record), civil engineering (Civil Engineering Magazine), and the oil and gas industry (Offshore Magazine).The workshop addresses best practices in the assessment and management of aging offshore oil and gas platforms and floating production facilities - a major environmental risk in the APEC Region that has over 1,000 offshore oil and gas structures. The workshop promotes private sector and public sector partnership by bringing together a mix of experts from oil and gas regulators, academia, consultants, oil and gas companies, and certification bodies. The goals of the workshop include strengthening intra-regional cooperation among APEC economies, and contributing to the quality of coastal waters by helping APEC oil and gas producers to identify facilities that are no longer structurally sound. The end product of the workshop will be publication of a recommendation paper, distribution of papers presented at the workshop, and continued development of an APEC directory of specialists on this topic

这一行动为四名美国研究人员提供支助，使他们能够参加将于2000年10月8日至11日在中国北京举行的亚太经济合作组织（亚太经合组织）讲习班并作出贡献。 他们计划发表主题演讲和特邀演讲，并将成为美国代表参加这一重要研讨会的骨干。 美国与会者将为美国建筑技术出版物撰写几篇关于研讨会的文章（工程新闻记录），土木工程（土木工程杂志），以及石油和天然气行业（Offshore杂志）。该研讨会讨论了评估和管理老化的海上石油和天然气平台以及浮式生产设施的最佳做法-这是亚太经合组织地区的一个主要环境风险，该地区拥有1,000多个海上石油和天然气结构。 该研讨会通过汇集来自石油和天然气监管机构、学术界、顾问、石油和天然气公司以及认证机构的专家，促进私营部门和公共部门的伙伴关系。 研讨会的目标包括加强亚太经合组织经济体之间的区域内合作，并通过帮助亚太经合组织石油和天然气生产商确定结构不再健全的设施，促进沿海沃茨的质量。 研讨会的最终成果将是出版一份建议文件，分发在研讨会上提出的文件，并继续编制亚太经合组织关于这一主题的专家名录
