Following the executive meeting on 1 October 2012 in Dallas, Texas, USA, Qatar Petroleum's Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi commented, "We are delighted to continue as the permanent host of IPTC in the region and look forward to another successful edition in January 2014. We will continue working to promote discussion and cooperation among industry partners and colleagues in the region and globally for the advancement of our industry." "IPTC keeps the oil and gas community informed of the industry's latest developments," said Andrew P. Swiger, senior vice president of Exxon Mobil Corporation and IPTC co-host. "We look forward to assembling in Qatar with oil and gas professionals from all parts of the world to discuss challenges and opportunities in the industry." In addition to the official opening of the Call for Papers, the IPTC executive committee also announced the supporting events and initiatives that will take place throughout the week of the conference. These include Education Week, the International Young Professionals Competition, Science Teachers Workshop, Technical Workshops and Training Courses, the Excellence in Project Integration Awards, and the exhibition which will feature 10 country pavilions from around the globe. Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil will have exhibition booths at the event and will showcase their respective capabilities in the important areas of operational excellence, innovative technologies, social responsibility, national content, and energy efficiency. The 10,000m² exhibition area represents an increase of around 250% from the last IPTC in Doha held in 2009. The exhibition, held at a world-class venue, will feature more than 150 companies. About IPTC IPTC is sponsored by four industry organisations and societies, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG); the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE); the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG); and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The synergy of these four leading, individual-member driven societies provides the most comprehensive opportunity to form multi-disciplinary committees and an outstanding technical programme. IPTC is focused on the dissemination of new and current technology, best practices and multi-disciplinary activities designed to emphasize the importance of the value chain and maximising asset value. The knowledge, capabilities and strengths of the participating countries and the sponsoring societies global membership, over the spectrum of multi-disciplinary technologies, are central to the success of the conference and the corresponding exhibition.
