| Dear Colleagues, |
| |
| KIPCE 2002 will be held in the
State of Kuwait on 14-16 December 2002 and embraces the theme
of "Future of IOR in the Middle East". |
| |
| Everyday around the world oil
is produced at a rate of 75 million barrels per day. Today's
technologies leave two barrels of oil inside the reservoir for
each barrel of oil recovered. An increase in oil recovery efficiency
would result in millions of incremental barrels of oil, worth
billions of dollars. To tap these reserves, common techniques
and new methods have been the subject of much technical consideration. |
| |
| This conference will cover a
wide range of technologies for improving hydrocarbon recovery
with 6 main technical areas. The session's topics for these
areas are horizontal wells, reservoir characterization, water
flooding, IOR strategies, case studies, and laboratories and
theories. |
| |
| The KIPCE 2002 is planned for
3 days. During this meeting, I hope industry and academia will
have the opportunity to look at technology needs and potential
industry/university cooperation for developing technology and
technology transfer. Keynote speakers from industry and academia
will kick off some of the sessions. |
| |
| Finally, on behalf of the entire
Organizing Committee, I would like to thank every one who submitted
an abstract for KIPCE 2002. It is your participation and enthusiasm
that makes an event like this so successful. |
| |
| We look forward to welcoming
you to KIPCE 2002 in Kuwait. |
| |
| Yours sincerely, |
| Dr. Yousef Sayed
