Building on the success of the previous editions of the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC), this year’s IPTC provides an industry and business platform for over 5,000 oil and gas professionals worldwide. This premier international oil and gas event is a collaborative effort among five leading oil and gas associations: the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG); the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE); the Gas Processors Association (GPA); the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG); and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The 2009 IPTC offers one of the most comprehensive multi-disciplinary and focussed technical programmes. With its theme “World Energy Challenges: Endurance and Commitment,” IPTC will focus on the new challenges associated with the global economic conditions and the effect of these challenges on the oil and gas industry. The Executive Plenary Session will aim to provide an interactive debate between experts in the industry on these arising challenges such as the dramatic reduction in hydrocarbon prices, the reconsideration of investment conditions and the postponing of a number of major complex and costly projects. The programme offers four panel sessions that will highlight non-technical issues facing the industry such as developing energy resources in environmentally responsible and acceptable ways; the workforce and skills demand in this atmosphere of uncertainty and much more. Combined with these very informative sessions, the technical programme of the event, comprising of over 55 technical sessions, will offer a high level of discussion on upstream and midstream oil and gas issues. As part of the continuous commitment of IPTC to broaden the horizons of knowledge amongst young energy professionals, students, young professionals and educators as well as local and regional organisations will participate in the event though the special activities organised for them and the multi-sector exhibition which incorporates a special pavilion dedicated to universities and training institutions. This event is by far one of the most renowned in the region; it is an opportunity for international and regional professionals to network and exchange ideas with other professionals. We believe that IPTC offers unprecendented opportunities to discuss best practices, meet and network with experts in the industry and gain a vast amount of information in just three days, and therefore, we encourage you to participate in this exceptional event. We look forward to seeing you at the 2009 IPTC in Doha.

H.H. Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Emir of the State of Qatar

H.E. Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Industry, Qatar

H.H. Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar and H.E. Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Industry, Qatar, will open the conference and exhibition. The Opening Ceremony will be attended by senior management from oil and gas related companies, representatives from government ministries and departments, and engineering and technical industry professionals.

Executive Plenary Session World Energy Challenges: Endurance and Commitment Monday, 7 December • 1115–1300 hours • Al Dafna Hall With the global economic crisis and uncertainty now in full swing, the energy industry is poised to enter a new phase of its growth facing huge challenges due to the significant drop in demand for oil and gas and energy products across the world. This has led to a dramatic reduction in the hydrocarbon prices, which led to the reconsideration of the investment conditions and resulting in postponing few of the major complex and costly projects. On the other hand, it is clear that long-term energy demand will continue to surge, thanks to a growing global population of over 3 billion and the rising standards of living, especially in places like China and India. This executive plenary session will focus on how to: • Provide assurance that the industry will continue to meet the growing demand for energy and that supplies will be sustainable in the future.

17

•

Maintain stable investment conditions to secure funding to develop the current and future energy resources, particularly the more difficult and unconventional resources.

•

Ensure the recruitment and retention of the people with the skills and expertise to meet those demands.

•

Confirm the commitment for exploring more efficient ways of producing energy and cleaner fuels and in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from energy processes.

•

Mitigate the negative effects of the global economic and political volatility and how to turn this short term financial crisis to an opportunity devoting resources to ensure that the production and use of fossil fuels becomes more efficient in operations and with the energy consumers.

3. Global Gas Outlook: New Gas Chains Tuesday, 8 December • 1345–1515 hours • Al Majlis Hall Natural gas is expected to be the fastest-growing major fuel source, growing more than 50 percent by 2030, when it will have overtaken coal as the second-biggest global fuel source. Much of the demand for natural gas will come from the power-generation sector, reflecting the fact that gas is not only an efficient fuel source, but has important environmental advantages as well since it produces fewer emissions than oil or coal. The steady rise in natural gas demand in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific will require increases in imports to those regions and will be met by liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, re-gasification facilities, adequate shipping and extensive pipeline infrastructure (largely from Russia and the Caspian region). This panel session will share views on the future direction of gas markets and discuss how: •

The gas business will respond to the current economic downturn.

•

Technology can significantly transform and enlarge non-conventional sources of supply to world markets such as tight gas and shale gas as well as increase LNG mobility through floating LNGs and increase efficiency via novel cryogenic methods removing CO2 and H2S.

•

Development of the global market for liquefied natural gas, LNG, can become a clear demonstration of the power of innovation.

•

International partnerships are essential to fostering technologies that increase supplies, strengthen security and reduce environmental impacts.

•

Evolving commercial models and investment in LNG and infrastructure would meet growing energy needs via gas export opportunities for Gulf countries and sour gas innovative solutions.

•

Strengthening global energy security can be achieved by helping to diversify supplies.

•

Production of unconventional gas (in USA and outside) will impact the worldwide gas market, and particularly LNG.

4. Renewal of Reserves: Exploration, Improved Recovery and Unconventional Wednesday, 9 December • 0830–1000 hours • Al Majlis Hall The industry average for producing oil in place is just over 30 percent. Raising this to 45 percent would add over 500 billion barrels to world recoverable volumes, nearly two decades more production at current rates. Increasing hydrocarbon recovery in existing fields and developing future energy resources is becoming more challenging, energy intensive and more expensive. This will require ever more sophisticated technological and project management expertise. This will also require stable investment conditions in research and development and secure funding to develop these resources. Even with the economic downturn, the energy industry will need to continue to develop these technologies and deploy them quickly. This panel session will share views on: •

Application of improved and enhanced oil recovery techniques that improves recovery.

•

Increase in operational efficiency and application of a process reliability approach to reduce the annual production decline and extend the life of the fields.

•

Opportunities for exploiting unconventional resources such as heavy oil and bitumen, oil and gas from shales, highly sour gas reservoirs and coal bed methane .

•

Technology development and advances that would explore and access these resources in under better economical and environmental conditions.

•

Business environment and contractual frameworks that support the long term and high risk investments.

IPTC “Excellence in Project Integration" Awards

As our industry grows increasingly towards complex and capital intensive projects, we must challenge our conventional practices. It is critical that we share lessons from successfully integrated projects that embody excellence. The IPTC Executive and Programme Committees and the Sponsoring Societies believe in highlighting a project that excels throughout the entire value chain and should be recognized with a special award. The proposed projects are realized at over half a billion USD equivalent and demonstrate innovation and teamwork would qualify for consideration of this important award. They add value to a company through the entire process and value chain, whether in an NOC or IOC. Economics for projects may differ but the fact remain that highly successful projects realize achievement because of strong teamwork, solid geoscience knowledge, reservoir and production engineering acumen, determined and watchful construction and facilities engineering practices. Equally important, success requires a pervasive culture of HSSE; preserving the environment, safety of people and their health along with innovative and people oriented human resource policies. The award winning projects will be recognised during the Awards Banquet. “Excellence in Project Integration" Awards Committee Members

Young Professionals Day Learn, Network, Progress... Towards a Brighter Future The recent price volatility in the oil and gas industry has definitely changed the landscape we were used to and this uncertain business climate is being experienced by most Young Professionals for the first time. However, such a crisis has already happened previously in our cyclical industry. What could we learn from the past? How can we grow stronger and still further our careers during an economic downturn? This is a time to redefine the priorities in most companies and take appropriate actions. Experts from the industry will share their valuable insight and experience. Registration for the workshop is limited, and is on a first-come first-serve basis. Young Professionals Steering Committee

Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLC), a Directorate of Qatar Petroleum, is a multipurpose industrial city located 80 kilometers north east of Doha. The city hosts an industrial port and several industrial facilities and covers an area of 294 square kilometers. It provides integrated services to existing industries and prospective investors. Ras Laffan Port is the largest LNG exporting facility in the world, with an area of 8.5 square kilometers. The port operates a port control tower and associated navigational aids, logistics and services that include berthing facilities, security, safety and workshops. Numerous environmental activities have been undertaken since the inception of RLC. The most significant environmental monitoring projects include ambient air quality monitoring, noise monitoring, sea water, ballast water and ground water quality monitoring. To maintain an ecological balance at RLC, environmental conservation programs include mangrove conservation, mango plantation, turtle conservation and ostrich conservation have been implemented and are flourishing successfully.

The modern carbonate-evaporate depositional environments along the Arabian shores of the Gulf are considered as useful shallow-marine and coastal analogues for Middle East reservoirs such as the Khuff, the Arab, the Mishrif or the Shuaiba Fm. The lagoon of Al-Dakhirah, which is located some 60 km north of Doha, provides a recent and modern carbonate-evaporate system suitable for illustrating the distribution and geometry of depositional geobodies, which are commonly used in geological reservoir model. The current study of this lagoon highlights the variety of depositional processes and products and the rapid evolution of the coastal landscape during the last fifty years. Detailed geomorphic and sediment logical mapping of the lagoon together with 14C dating has resulted in step by step paleo-geographic reconstruction of the area during Holocene times. 2.

Dukhan Sunday, 6 December, 0800–1500 hours Limited to 300 persons USD 100, first-come-first-serve basis

Dukhan, 84 kilometers from Doha on the west coast of Qatar, gained its significance due to the discovery of crude oil. Exploration for oil in Dukhan fields began in 1935 and the first well was drilled in 1940. The first shipment of crude oil was exported from Qatar on 31 December 1949. Since then Dukhan has witnessed gradual development to accommodate oil and gas operation facilities in addition to housing, medical, recreational and educational institutions and services. Dukhan is being further developed and modernised to better meet Qatar Petroleum's oil and gas operations and the communities’ requirements. The various operations and activities in the Dukhan oil field, which extends over an area of approximately 640 square kilometers, are managed and conducted by Qatar Petroleum.

General Information and Registration

General Information Pearl of the Gulf– Doha, Qatar While the UAE makes the headlines as the second largest GCC economy and as the hub for trade, finance and tourism, Qatar is the place that is increasingly turning heads in the banking world.

Doha is the heart of Qatar, with most of the population living in the city. The beautiful city is filled with plenty of things to do, whether it’s shopping, clubbing, relaxing, dining, or whatever other activities come to mind. With its beautiful corniche which stretches out for several kilometers, you can take lovely walks by the sea and enjoy the sights of Doha's developing skyline and other sights the city has to offer. The city has a much laid back atmosphere, and any visitor is sure to love it.

British protectorate of Qatar in 1916. Even after its independence in 1971, the capital remained the same. Oil export, which began in 1949, is the main source of income of the city. Being the economical center of Qatar, Doha holds much of the nation's oil and natural gas wealth. As a whole, the nation produces over 800,000 barrels of oil daily. Doha is also home to the headquarters of the country's largest oil and gas companies. Climate and Clothing Doha has an archetypal tropic climate and weather. Characteristic of this tropic weather are hot summers stretching from May through October. These summers are dry and breezy. Relatively Doha has a fairly comfortable winter with a slight chilliness. Rains are occasional in winter with the region experiencing a high degree of humidity. Currency The official currency of Qatar is the Qatar Rial. Currently, the exchange rate is USD1=QR 3.67.

Today, the population is growing rapidly with thousands coming to the country in a month, it is estimated that Qatar will soon reach the 1 million mark within a few years, as of October 2007, 37,819 people went for medical check up, due to the high influx of incoming residents, there is a high shortage of housing. There are many estimates of the population of Doha and even Qatar, most sources show Doha is close or surpasses the one million mark. Like the nearby city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Doha's economy is moving away from its dependency on the oil and natural gas industries, although unlike Dubai; Doha's main focus is not tourism. Doha is seeing huge amounts of growth, with the population of the city increasing by more than 60,000 between 2004 and 2008. Doha is the capital of Qatar. It is the Qatar's largest city and the economic center of the country. The city of Doha founded in 1850 under the name Al-Bida, is considered as the most beautiful city in Qatar. The city became the capital of the 63
