Dear Industry Colleagues,

The International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) is a multi-disciplinary event sponsored by four leading 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).

Returning to Doha, Qatar, the seventh edition of IPTC will be held 20–22 January 2014 at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) with the theme “Unlocking Energy through Innovation, Technology and Capability”.

IPTC is renowned for its exceptionally high standard of technical programmes, and with the experience and dedication of the programme committee, the 7th edition will be no exception. The programme will include an executive plenary session, four panel sessions, over 70 multi-disciplinary technical sessions, and a number of special sessions—all representative of current and future issues facing the industry.

We highly encourage you to be part of this event by submitting your paper proposals for consideration by the programme committee. The 7th IPTC will be an excellent opportunity to share your experiences, innovations, and best practices with the global E&P community.

A full list of technical categories and submission guidelines are available in this call for papers. Submit your abstracts online at www.iptcnet.org/2014/doha before 26 April 2013.

We anticipate a successful and engaging technical programme for the 7th IPTC and look forward to your valued participation and contribution.

Regards,

Over 160 Technical Professionals from

over 95 Organisations and 30 Countries

form the 7th IPTC Committees

IPTC SPONSORING SOCIETIESThe International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) is an international oil and 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 HSE, Security, HR and training. IPTC is a collaborative event between the following societies:

The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), founded in 1917, has been a pillar of the world-wide scientific community. The original purpose of AAPG, to foster scientific research, to advance the science of geology, to promote technology, and to inspire high professional conduct, still guides the Association today. Currently the world’s largest professional geological society with over 35,000 members, AAPG provides publications, conferences, and educational opportunities to geoscientists and disseminates the most current geological information available to the general public. For more information visit the AAPG website www.aapg.org.

The European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE) is a professional society with a worldwide membership of more than 15,000 members providing a global network of commercial and academic professionals to all members. The association is truly multi-disciplinary and international in form and pursuits. The objective is to promote the development and application of geosciences and related engineering subjects and this is achieved through publications, conferences, workshops, education programmes and exhibitions. EAGE has offices in Europe, Russia and the Middle East. For more information visit the EAGE website at www.eage.org.

The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) is the world’s leading geosciences society with more than 33,000 members in 138 countries across the globe. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists provides its members with the resources and tools they need for a successful professional career, and serves the geosciences community with timely events, helpful information and networking. Together, we transform our passion into advancing geophysics today and inspiring geoscientists for tomorrow. For more information visit the SEG website at www.seg.org.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit professional association whose members are engaged in energy resources development and production. SPE serves more than 104,000 members in 123 countries worldwide. SPE is a key resource for technical knowledge related to the oil and gas exploration and production industry and provides services through its publications, events, training courses, and online resources at www.spe.org.
