Midstream & Gas ProcessingGain insights into the processing, storage and transport of hydrocarbons. Explore LNG, gas treatment, NGL recovery, and infrastructure solutions that maximise efficiency and market reach across the value chain. |
Facilities, Projects & OperationsExamine the engineering, construction and lifecycle management of production facilities. This area highlights integrated project execution, operational excellence, asset integrity, and sustainability from design to decommissioning. |
Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Installation (EPCI)Showcasing integrated solutions for the full EPCI lifecycle - from front-end engineering and procurement strategies to offshore and onshore construction and installation. This segment highlights innovations in modular design, project execution, cost optimisation, and installation technologies that ensure safe, timely, and high-quality infrastructure delivery in complex energy environments. |
Digitalisation, Automation and AIDiscover how AI-driven analytics, IoT, robotics and cloud integration are transforming operations. These technologies enhance safety, performance, and decision-making while enabling predictive maintenance, real-time optimisation, and autonomous systems. In addition to advancing the energy transition, they drive efficiency, cut costs and power faster innovation across digital-first enterprises. |
Sustainability, Decarbonisation & Energy TransitionExplore technologies and strategies shaping a low-carbon future. From CCUS to hydrogen, renewables, and digital solutions, these innovations reduce emissions and enable advantaged barrels - enhancing competitiveness while supporting energy security and climate goals. |
Policy & Decision MakersExamine the evolving policy landscape and its influence on the upstream industry. This area highlights the critical role of governments, regulators, and policymakers in shaping energy transition pathways, investment frameworks, and cross-border collaboration. Discussions will focus on balancing energy security, affordability, and sustainability, while creating enabling environments that attract investment, accelerate technology adoption, and drive responsible growth across the value chain. |
Legal & FinancialGain insights into the legal, regulatory, and financial dimensions that underpin upstream projects. Explore strategies for managing contractual frameworks, risk allocation, and compliance, alongside financing models that support capital-intensive developments and energy transition initiatives. This segment emphasizes the interplay between legal certainty, innovative financing structures, and investor confidence to ensure sustainable project execution in a dynamic global market. |
UnconventionalsDive into the specialised techniques driving development in shale and tight reservoirs. Learn from breakthroughs in geoscience, well construction, production, and economics that define unconventional success. |
Overarching ThemesExamine the foundational pillars of industry success, including risk management, HSSE, social responsibility, talent development, and knowledge sharing - essential for a resilient, forward-thinking energy sector. |
#iptc2023 Throwback
IPTC is uniquely organised by four professional societies: AAPG, EAGE, SEG & SPE, serving as the only fully integrated major joint event in the Middle East and Asia.
We are a vital hub for geoscientists and engineers, fostering collaboration on integrated technical solutions to address the evolving needs of the energy sector while promoting impactful decarbonisation solutions.
