Welcome Message
From Executive Committee Co-Charipersons
Building on a foundation of technical excellence established by the inaugural event held in 2005, we invite you to attend the 2007 International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) scheduled 4–6 December 2007 in Dubai, UAE. IPTC is sponsored by four prominent industry societies — American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE), Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), and Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) — and brings together the perspectives of multiple disciplines including petroleum engineering, geology, and geophysics.
Themed “A Changing World: Interdependence, Innovation and Implementation”, IPTC is designed to meet the needs of everyday business and technological challenges. The technical programme features more than 300 presentations focusing on exploration, production, reservoir, midstream gas, and over-arching industry issues. In addition, the IPTC programme showcases a series of panel sessions addressing issues associated with E&P strategies; health, safety, security, and environmental excellence; responses to constraints; and global responsibility to people in the industry.
Continuing its commitment to quality, IPTC recognises the accomplishments of companies, organisations, and educational institutions that have achieved excellence in managing and directing an integrated oil or gas project from discovery to delivery with the Excellence in Project Integration Award. It is through this awards programme that innovation and collaboration are celebrated. We invite you to submit your application for this special recognition by your peers.
Additional on-site special events bring you unmatched opportunities to learn from regional ministers and international executives while networking with industry professionals from around the world.
Please circulate this information to your colleagues, and make plans to join us at the 2007 International Petroleum Technology Conference. We look forward to seeing you in Dubai.
