SPE/EAGE European Unconventional Resources Conference and Exhibition

From Potential to Production Vienna, Austria – 20 – 22 March 2012

1 General information

1.1 The organisers

1.1.1 EAGE The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) is a global professional, non‐profit association for geoscientists and engineers with 15.000 members worldwide. The objective is to collect and distribute technical knowledge. It provides a global network of commercial and academic professionals to all members. The association is truly multi‐disciplinary and international in form and pursuits. All members of EAGE are professionally involved in (or studying) geophysics, petroleum exploration, geology, reservoir engineering, mining and mineral exploration, civil engineering, tunneling and environmental matters. EAGE's head office is located in the Netherlands with regional offices in Moscow, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur. EAGE organises following activities:

1. Conferences & Exhibitions; 2. Workshops & Symposia; 3. Educational Programmes; 4. Student and Young Professionals Activities 5. Publications (monthly magazine, scientific journals and an extensive bookshop).

1.1.2 SPE The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not‐for‐profit professional association whose members are engaged in energy resources development and production. SPE serves more than 97,000 members in 118 countries worldwide. SPE is a key resource for technical knowledge related to the oil and gas exploration and production industry and provides services through its publications, conferences, workshops, forums and website.

1.2 The event SPE/EAGE European Unconventional Resources Conference and Exhibition will be held in Reed Messe Wien in Vienna, Austria. The theme for this conference is “From Potential to Production.” Both SPE and EAGE have identified the increasingly important role unconventionally trapped oil and gas production is playing in the world energy mix. Covering exploration, development and production technical topics, the theme reflects the tremendous growth in activity in Europe over the last few years and aims to address some of the specific challenges, range of environments and future opportunities within the European E&P sector. It is recognised that the impact of ‘unconventionals’ is considered a threat by many and so the conference is aimed at understanding both the technical and technological solutions to economically producing unconventional oil and gas, and those regulations and technologies that will help address non‐technical and environmental challenges including access, footprint, water use and disposal and noise. Whilst we expect a focus on shale gas and tight oil and gas we will also cover unconventional hydrocarbons.
