Welcome Message from theExecutive Committee Co-Chairmen

Tan Sri Dato’ Seri MohdHassan MaricanPresident andChief ExecutivePETRONAS

Mark W. AlbersSenior Vice PresidentExxon Mobil Corporation

From 3 to 5 December 2008, Kuala Lumpur will host more than 4,000 oil and gas scientists, engineers and other professionals from throughout the world for the 2008 International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC).

A collaboration among the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), the European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE), the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), this third edition of the IPTC will be the first to be held in the Asia Pacific region.

With the theme “Meeting the Energy Needs of a Growing World Economy,” the conference will focus on scientific advances in petroleum exploration and production and the challenges of meeting the energy supply needs of the world. Panel sessions will examine issues concerning exploration and production, production challenges, the complexities of partnerships and relationships in the industry, as well as climate change. Combined with this informative programme is the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with other professionals and leaders from various segments of the industry. At the same time, students, educators, as well as local and regional organisations from more than 30 countries will also participate in special events and programmes, organised as part of the IPTC’s continual commitment to education and broadening the horizons of knowledge on the energy industry.

A much anticipated part of the conference would be the presentation of the IPTC Award for Excellence in Project Integration, which celebrates distinction in management from discovery to delivery of an oil and/or gas project representing an investment of over US$1 billion equivalent. Fourteen submissions are competing for this prestigious award.

With the present day realities in mind, meeting the challenges of supplying the world’s energy needs requires commitment and collaboration from technical professionals, experts and leaders in the industry. We believe that IPTC offers a special opportunity to discuss best practices and share information with others who are committed towards realising the success of the energy industry.

We look forward to your participation in this conference in Kuala Lumpur this December.

Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Mohd Hassan Marican Mark W. AlbersPresident and Chief Executive Senior Vice PresidentPETRONAS Exxon Mobil Corporation

CONFERENCE PREVIEW


On behalf of the Conference Programme Committee, it is with great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you and your organisation to join us at this year’s International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) scheduled 3-5 December in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The three-day multi-disciplinary technical programme will focus on “Meeting the Energy Needs of a Growing World Economy”. In recognising the challenges of meeting the world’s growing demand for reliable and sufficient energy, the conference emphasises the importance of mutual partnerships and cooperation in meeting this demand. Aiming to create a common energy agenda for the future, technological solutions and research at the forefront of the industry will be presented by notable international experts.

Individuals representing leading corporations and research organisations from around the world are chairing over 50 specialised technical sessions covering aspects of exploration, development and production, reservoir and midstream gas in addition to a number of overarching industry issues and integrated project management themes. The technical content is further enhanced by the IPTC Excellence in Project Integration Award, a variety of educational programmes, an exhibition and field trips.

The IPTC is a collaborative effort of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), the European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE), the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). IPTC continues to move forward as a leading international conference and exhibition in its third such event.

We invite you to participate, learn and engage with influential industry leaders, professionals and decision makers spanning the globe. In addition to providing an ideal venue to showcase your company’s latest technological accomplishments, products, and services, delegates will gain exposure to regional gas and oil providers, regional energy officials and international executives to sharpen your business strategy and leverage your goals. In alignment with the conference theme, the conference is ideal for discussing challenges with industry peers and identifying partners to develop collaborative solutions to meet the energy needs of our growing world economy.

This year’s IPTC will truly prove to be a remarkable and rewardingly beneficial three days for all who attend.

We look forward to your participation in Kuala Lumpur this December.

Panel Sessions

Climate Change & Environment

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 difficult environments, and commercialising difficult and unconventional hydrocarbons, society expects the industry to mitigate the effects of hydrocarbon use – i.e., to find 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:

- Energy efficiency; - Carbon dioxide capture and/or disposal; and, - Alternative clean energies

Particular focus of the panel’s 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

Significant 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 world’s 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, financial, 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

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 benefit 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.

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 significant 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 find 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.

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 first 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 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 CO2 displacement in heavy and extra-heavy oils provide insight into the dilution process. Simulation and laboratory studies of CO2 injection in complex turbidite reservoirs identify the key factors influencing recovery. Laboratory studies of microwave heating to assist gravity drainage are used to determine field-scale feasibility. Finally, field 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 significant resurgence of interest over the last five 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.

The papers of this session cover both hydraulic and acid fracturing treatments. Field cases cover typical problems associated with proppant fracturing in sandstone reservoirs (proppant flow back) and acid fracturing in carbonates (high leak-off rate of the acids used). The session also includes papers that review sandstone acidising over the last century, modeling and optimization of fracturing treatments, and finally, evaluation of fracturing treatments using chemical tracers. A lot of lessons can be learned from these thorough field cases.
