One of the highlights will be a panel session on “Climate Change and Environment,” moderated by AAPG President Scott Tinker.
IPTC is sponsored by four leading industry societies – AAPG, SPE, SEG and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE).
As in past years, the conference will provide a platform for industry professionals and top-level executives to engage in constructive dialogue on developing and producing reliable and sufficient energy, the importance of mutual partnership and cooperation in meeting the world’s growing demand for energy and on creating a common agenda for the future.
