Climate Change & Environment
Wednesday, 3 December 1400-1530 hours Conference Hall 1
The world currently consumes energy at a rate of 200 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day, with 87 percent
(160 million boe per day) supplied by oil, gas and coal. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), in
2007 the world energy-related annual CO2 emissions amount to some 26 billion tonnes, of which oil, gas and coal are
responsible for 40%, 20% and 40% respectively. According to the International Energy Outlook 2007 this worldwide-
marketed energy consumption is projected to grow by 57 percent between 2004 and 2030 and the demand will continue
to be met dominantly by fossil fuels. Whilst the industry is likely to respond to this challenge by increasingly exploring
in deeper waters, often in more difcult environments, and commercialising difcult and unconventional hydrocarbons,
society expects the industry to mitigate the effects of hydrocarbon use i.e., to nd solutions to carbon dioxide (CO2)
and other Green House Gases (GHG) emissions to counteract climate change. As much as fossil fuels are perceived
to be part of the problem, fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry are well positioned to be part of the solution too.
Themes to be addressed:
The impact of climate change issues on the development of non-OECD countries.
Three strategic cross-industry themes that, if put in place, will signifcantly contribute to emission reductions:
- Energy efciency;
- Carbon dioxide capture and/or disposal; and,
- Alternative clean energies
Cost, economic, regulatory, technical and other issues that currently prevent large-scale adoption of the above.
Particular focus of the panels discussion will be around our current knowledge (or lack thereof) of each of these
themes and the associated challenges and dilemmas, such as OECD versus non-OECD development growth, water
resources, competition between energy and food resources, clean operations, and legal and regulatory aspects.

Sustaining Production Rates to Meet Future Demand
Thursday, 4 December 0900-1030 hours Conference Hall 1
Signicant oil and gas resources are available to meet future demand growth, but increasingly complex exploration
and development challenges must be met to ensure the timely delivery of necessary volumes. Maximising recovery
from mature conventional assets and fully exploiting emerging non-conventional resources will be critical to meeting
the worlds energy needs. Developing these volumes will require large investments, a talented workforce, state of the
art technology and a long-term relationship and commitment between resource owners and industry. As our global
resource base matures, future projects will face increasing technical, nancial, and execution uncertainties and risks
that must be successfully managed to ensure adequate volumes are brought to market. Speakers will address many
of the challenges facing industry in meeting projected increases in world energy demand.

Complex Relationships
Thursday, 4 December 1400-1530 hours Conference Hall 1
Relationships are all about working together with governments and partners to meet the energy needs of growing
world economy. Successful and lasting relationships are built on mutual trust, respect and understanding of cultural
differences for all stakeholders. By understanding and respecting differing objectives, strategies and areas of expertise,
NOCs, host governments, service companies and IOCs become more effective partners based on their relationships.
They achieve more than they could alone for the benet of the local communities and host country. Each party brings to
the relationship unique perspectives, experiences, assets and strengths. By bringing together people, technology and
business drivers, industry delivers on performance while maintaining focus on safety and protection of the environment.
Speakers are going to address complexities of relationships from their own perspectives.

E&P Technologies
Friday, 5 December 0900-1030 hours Conference Hall 1
The oil and gas industry continues to generate opportunities via technological innovations to enhance its success in
locating, extracting, and transporting oil and gas supplies to meet global demand. Our businesses today are technology
businesses every bit as much as many industries that are already accepted as high-tech. Technology has given us
the ability to supply energy from sources once considered impossible to access. Our industry is gearing to tackle the
future challenges by developing and deploying high-tech solutions today.
Speakers will address technological advances in accessing and producing both conventional and unconventional
resources. Unconventional resources are expected to play a signicant role in meeting future energy demand. The
challenge is to develop cost effective technologies to recover more conventional resources and to unlock unconventional
resources. Moreover, new technologies aim not only to nd and extract these resources, but also to reduce the
environmental footprint of their utilisation and tackle such issues as global climate change.

Awards Banquet
IPTC Excellence in Project Integration Award
As our industry moves towards increasingly 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
committees and sponsoring societies believe in highlighting a project that has demonstrated distinction throughout the
entire value chain and should be recognised with a special award. Notionally, those mega-projects that are realised
at over one billion USD equivalent and demonstrate innovation and teamwork would qualify for consideration of this
important award.
Adding value to a company, whether it be an NOC or IOC, through the entire process and value chain is a shared
goal. Economics or projects may differ but the fact remains that highly successful projects exemplify strong teamwork,
solid geoscience knowledge, reservoir and production engineering acumen, determined and watchful construction and
outstanding facilities engineering practices. Equally important, success requires a pervasive culture of HSE; safety
of people and their health, preserving the environment, along with innovative and people oriented human resource
policies, as well as community programmes.
Fourteen (14) nominations were submitted from 12 organisations representing projects in 11 countries, and seven (7)
of the projects from 6 organisations representing projects in 6 countries, have been short listed for further consideration
of the awards by the IPTC Awards Committee.
The award winning projects will be recognised during the Awards Banquet.
Information on submitting nominations for the 2009 IPTC Awards will be available on the 2009 IPTC website at www.
iptcnet.org/2009.

Exploration has become increasingly challenging with
remaining opportunities within new or mature basins fraught
with higher risk or having smaller eld sizes. The papers in this
session discuss several approaches for improved business
and technical decision making considering both quantitative
and qualitative inputs, including value-of-information analysis
to help derisk opportunities. The session also showcases
several regional examples of how signicant discoveries can
still be made in mature basins through the detailed study and
integration of key geologic datasets.

This session covers three different approaches of how to
integrate various types of data in order to provide the most
reliable information for all technical disciplines. Two of the
papers cover the general problem of data management.
The time Engineers and Geoscientists spend locating,
loading and integrating the various pieces of information they
require is well known. Two solutions are demonstrated, the
rst is a one-stop-shop where the technical disciplines can
access the data they require. The second approach utilises
a data management policy where the various disciplines are
responsible for maintaining and passing along their respective
data. The third paper covers a different aspect of data
management, where a reliable LWD slowness result has been
derived by integrating various petrophysical parameters.

This session has three very informative papers with eld
examples that illustrate the development and application of
technology to advance real-time drilling optimization for both
efciency and increased reservoir contact. The rst paper
addresses automatic evaluation of near well formation and ow
interaction during drilling operations. In this paper, improved
methodology for better understanding of well ow, and near well
formation interaction based on this step change in availability
of downhole measurements is presented. The second paper
investigates extended reach horizontal well drilling and
placement using 3D visualization and integrated geosteering
techniques. This paper discusses the recent developments in
horizontal well placement and drilling technology that enabled
the authors to successfully drill and geosteer one of the longest
openhole power water injector wells in Saudi Arabia. The nal
paper of the session discusses the development of a drilling
methodology for tight reservoirs and in particular the Piceance
Bain in Colorado. The paper details the ability to effectively

This session provides an overview of the size and
characteristics of heavy oil carbonate resources in the Middle
East and results of studies that improve our understanding
of diverse EOR processes. Laboratory studies of the VAPEX
process illustrate the importance of accounting for convective
dispersion when forecasting drainage rates. Visualisation
experiments of CO
2
displacement in heavy and extra-heavy
oils provide insight into the dilution process. Simulation
and laboratory studies of CO
2
injection in complex turbidite
reservoirs identify the key factors inuencing recovery.
Laboratory studies of microwave heating to assist gravity
drainage are used to determine eld-scale feasibility. Finally,
eld trials of a downhole vibration system used to increase oil
production by reducing viscosity are examined.

The role of palaeogeography and palaeoclimatic variation as
one of the main controls on sedimentary facies and stratal
architecture has received a signicant resurgence of interest
over the last ve or so years. This has coincided with a now
universal interest in climate change that has stimulated the
development of a new generation of sophisticated general
circulation models (GCMs). The application of these to past
climates is referred to as palaeo-Earth systems modelling.
With the increasing need for new ventures exploration, the oil
industry is taking advantage of this synergy between climatic
and geological modelling to reduce exploration risk.

SESSION 48: EMERGING EOR
Session Chairpersons:
Paul N. Smith, Saudi Aramco
Gary Teletzke, ExxonMobil Upstream Research Co.
Increasing oil prices and oil demand have created a surge in
EOR research and activity, which is creating a new enthusiasm
for a more fundamental approach to EOR research. In this
session, we will see how:
New surfactants are being investigated in relation to their
ability to alter wettability and reduce interfacial tension.
Low salinity water fooding is garnering increasing
attention as a potential method of increasing recovery
from the reservoirs.
The ability to model pore scale phenomena is advancing
due to new tools, such as micro-CT scanning, which are
improving our understanding of the rock architecture and
the recovery processes which occur there.

producing and consuming sectors. With Meeting the Energy
Needs of a Growing World Economy as the conference theme, the
2008 IPTC will feature an Environment Pavilion to draw attention to
the resolve by the petroleum industry to responsibly provide for the
energy needs of the future and create a forum for players within
and outside the industry to discourse on the issues and present
innovations towards these objectives.
The aim of the Environment Pavilion feature is to illustrate the
industrys dedication to environmental issues, climate change,
new sources of energy, energy conservation, transportation and its
impact on our daily lifestyles. Exhibitors at the Environment Pavilion
will be provided a platform to showcase their projects, programmes,
