Presented by DECOM WORLD, it featured diverse speakers from operators and service companies, in addition to an exhibition area for vendors that included IBM as the Gold Sponsor. WIMS seems to have replaced SEMS, a post-Macondo initiative. The report includes observations of a tour of Halliburton's Houston Technology Center on April 16.

A visit took place to the Deepwater Horizon by a senior, joint safety audit team on the day of the Macondo blow-out. The team focused on occupational safety and ignored issues of process safety (e.g., tests of cement integrity).
