ADDRESS BY PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS

Dear Colleagues,
On 18-20 October 2012, Moscow will host the 4th SPE Russian Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Technical Conference and Exhibition (ROG 2012) - a key international scientific and technical forum in Russia on oil and gas exploration and production. Having started in 2006, this event is now well established in the industry with an exclusive conference organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
Since ROG 2010 the industry has seen an increase in the development of new oil and gas fields with complex geological structures and low reservoir quality, located in adverse climatic conditions. Exploration and development of these fields require new methods in order to tap these reserves. Today, Russian and international oil and gas producers continue to work together, integrating their knowledge and technology to ensure efficient management of domestic and global oil and gas resources.
The agenda of the Russian biannual conference traditionally consists of all major issues in the area of hydrocarbon exploration and production. This includes hydrodynamic fundamentals and petrophysics, new methods and technology for well drilling and survey, prospecting, exploration, development of oil and gas fields, as well as enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. The conference will also focus on environmental protection and safety in sophisticated process operations. The conference aims to present: the best global practices and innovations for enhanced petroleum exploration at greater depths; drilling and increased well production; comprehensive approaches to development of oil gas and condensate fields; and improved oil and condensate recovery.
The 2012 SPE Russian Oil and Gas Program Committee would like to invite you to submit your abstracts for the 4th SPE Russian Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Technical Conference and Exhibition. Preference will be given to papers written in compliance with SPE standards and guidelines and with clear presentation of the findings. This will allow the Program Committee to select the most interesting and important reports, with a mix of expertise, innovation, traditions, and state-of-the-art practices.
We look forward to receiving your paper proposals.
