Mission and Conference Profile
The International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) is an international oil & gas conference and exhibition. The event is to rotate in various venues in the Eastern Hemisphere. The scope of the conference programme and associated industry activities will address technology and relevant industry issues that challenge industry specialists and management around the world, particularly in the gas business and certain overarching issues such as HSSE, HR and training.

Sponsoring Societies
The IPTC is a collaborative effort among the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE); the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG); the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG); and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE). The synergy of these four, leading, individual-member driven societies provides the most comprehensive opportunity to form multi‑disciplinary committees and an outstanding technical programme. Learn more about the sponsoring societies.
SPE is the lead organisation in the management and financial control of the event. Regional oil ministers, industry leaders and governmental representatives will have an opportunity to discuss and share their views on timely industry topics and trends, exchange expertise and experience, present state-of-the-art technology and innovation, and to stimulate further research of technical and business activities. In addition, awards and recognition will be given for individual and organisation efforts for technical and business contributions to the industry. There will also be a range of integrated social activities to encourage networking and off-line discussion.
Programme
The Conference Programme will be focused on dissemination of new and current technology, best practices and multi-disciplinary activities designed to emphasise the importance of the “value chain” and maximising asset value. The knowledge, capabilities and strengths of the participating countries and the sponsoring societies’ global membership, over the spectrum of multi-disciplinary technologies, will be central to the success of the conference and the corresponding exhibition.
Attendance
3,000+, comprising delegates from around the world. 2,809 delegates and visitors representing 49 countries from Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and North America attended the first IPTC held in Doha, Qatar in November 2005. It is expected that delegate numbers would include a significant percentage of the sponsoring societies ’ membership.
