ABOUT IPTC IPTC is a collaborative effort between the European Association of Geologists and Engineers (EAGE), the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). The synergy of these four leading member driven international societies provides the most comprehensive opportunity to form multi-disciplinary committees and an outstanding technical programme. SPE is the lead organisation in the management of the event, following the model of the very successful annual Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) produced each May in Houston. The activities and format closely parallel that of the sponsoring societies Annual Technical Conferences and Exhibitions, meaning that regional oil ministries, industry leaders and governmental representatives will have an opportunity to share and discuss their views on timely industry topics and trends, exchange expertise and experience, present state-of-the-art technology and innovation, and stimulate further research of technical and business activities. In addition, awards and recognition will be given for individual efforts for technical and business contributions to the industry.
