CONFERENCE CHAIRPERSON WELCOME LETTER

Dear Industry Colleagues,

On behalf of the Executive and Programme Committees, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the fourth edition of the Kuwait International Petroleum Conference and Exhibition (KIPCE 2012) which will take place 10–12 December 2012 in Kuwait City, Kuwait. The conference theme is: People and Innovative Technologies to Unleash Challenging Hydrocarbon Resources. The goal is to emphasise that the region is aggressively developing new and existing conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources that has significantly affected the world energy market.

This conference is co-organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and Kuwait University. Previous editions of this event have been highly successful, making KIPCE one of the largest SPE events in Kuwait. This year, KIPCE 2012 will maintain its traditional base of bringing together regional and international professionals from all sectors of the petroleum industry to share and discuss their views on current industry topics and trend, exchange expertise and experience, present state-of-the-art technology and innovation, and simulate further research of technical and business activities.

With worldwide growing demand for hydrocarbons, securing new resources is a critical challenge for the petroleum industry. For this growth to be sustainable, a strong emphasis is needed for wider and more intensive exploration for new resources, as well as more efficient and effective recovery. Covering exploration, development, and production topics, the technical programme covers all aspects of conventional resources and given the increased interests and growth in unconventional resources and high-end technologies, sessions on development of unconventional reservoirs, and intelligent oilfields will be included.

The conference will feature keynote, plenary, and panel sessions assembling high profile executives from upstream organisations who will address issues of worldwide importance to the industry. More than 100 technical presentations will be made and approximately 500 delegates from around the world are expected to attend this conference. The conference will also include a teacher workshop, education day, and a training course. The parallel exhibition will be an ideal venue for NOCs, IOCs, and services companies to showcase their latest technological products and services.

We look forward to your valued participation and to a remarkable and beneficial conference for all who attend.

Best Regards,

Professor Ridha Gharbi, Kuwait UniversityConference Chairperson

GUIDELINESTechnical and poster presentations for the conference will be selected from paper proposals submitted to the conference programme committee. The committee will consider all abstracts submitted by the deadline of 3 June 2012. Early submission is particularly important to ensure that the committee members have ample time to review the paper proposals. Late paper proposals will not be accepted. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their paper proposals electronically at SPE website www.spe.org.

Abstract ContentA proper review of your abstract requires that it contains adequate information on which to make a judgment. Written in English and containing 300 words, paper proposals should include the following: • Description: Summarise the scope and nature of the work upon which an accepted paper will be based upon (e.g. field data, lab data, original analysis, or computer work). If the paper is a review paper, carefully state the extent of the coverage. • Applications: Describe the possible applications of the information provided in the paper or poster. • Results and Conclusions: Summarise the results and major conclusions to be presented in the paper/poster and state specific conclusions of the work and how these differ from previous work on the same subject. State whether new information will be revealed and whether data from field, lab, or computer work will be included.• Technical Contributions: Describe the significance of the subject matter in the abstract by listing up to three technical contributions or additions to the technical knowledge base of the petroleum industry.

Technical Categories Use the topics included in this leaflet to indicate the topic that best describes your paper proposal. A primary choice is required; however, a secondary choice is optional.
