会议背景介绍：  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).

Eighth edition of the IPTC will be held 10-12 December 2014 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with the theme:

“Innovation and Collaboration: Keys to Affordable Energy”

More than ever, the ability of our industry to deliver affordable oil and gas, is dependent upon organisations with complementary capabilities, working together to identify and deploy innovative solutions to increasingly difficult problems. This conference will feature panel discussions and technical sessions on a broad range of topics and issues around how our industry has developed good practices for collaboration to accelerate the invention and application of new work processes, methods, and technology.

IPTC is renowned for its exceptionally high standard of technical programme. Accordingly, the programme committee has set high selection criteria for the papers presented to ensure unrivalled quality of this multi-session programme.

Papers are invited on a variety of themes including geosciences and geophysics, reservoir, drilling and completions, development and production, facilities, unconventional oil and gas, overarching industry issues (HSE, CSR, talent development and training), and midstream gas. We believe that these topics, most of them of a multidisciplinary nature, are representative of the current and future issues facing the industry.

There is no better time to be part of this great industry. Submit your abstracts online. The submission deadline is 12 February  Authors will be notified of their paper status in early May 2014.

We anticipate a successful and engaging technical programme for the 8th IPTC and look forward to your valued participation and contribution.
