Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC), one of the largest oil and gas exhibitions in the world, has opened its call for papers inviting the industry to submit unique research on a variety of discussion topics in the hope of being included in this year’s conference taking place from 1- 4 November 2010.
ADIPEC 2010’s Technical Conference, which is organised in conjunction with the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), has been structured around three main themes: Sub-surface, Surface and Vision. ADCO’s General Manager Abdul Munim Saif Al Kindy, takes up the position as Conference Chairman this year and will work closely with ADIPEC organisers dmg world media and SPE to help shape the conference and bring some high level speakers to the event.
Last year saw 843 conference papers submitted with a final 250 selected to speak at the event. Over half of those entries came from the region, highlighting the knowledge and expertise emerging from the industry in the Middle East and the increase in home grown research being carried out.
ADIPEC’s new Event Director, Hifazat Ahmad, is looking to strengthen further the exhibition as a must-attend event for the international audience. Ahmad said, “With each new ADIPEC, the bar is raised as the standard of abstracts increases. This year the quality of the papers must be even higher, with sessions now reduced but more focused. However, I am sure that the industry is more than ready to rise to the challenge.
“Abu Dhabi, and the Middle East, is one of the most buoyant oil and gas markets at present and as the second largest event of its kind in the world, ADIPEC has become the international meeting place for emerging economies. The conference has also become the place to share unique, ground breaking research and for companies to position themselves as thought leaders in the global energy world.”
ADIPEC and SPE now jointly invite delegates to submit papers for consideration by the programme committee. Papers should be submitted no later than 1 April 2010 and must include an abstract of no more than 500 words on the scope and nature of work upon which the paper will be based. These may be submitted either online at www.spe.org/go/adipec/cfp or via email to formsdubai@spe.org, and must specify at least one primary category relevant to the paper topic.
