LETTER FROM IPTC 2020 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHAIR
Dear Colleagues,
The 12th edition of the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) will be held 13–15 January 2020, at the Dhahran EXPO in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, with Saudi Aramco serving as the Exclusive Host Organisation.
Themed “Vision to Prosperity: A New Energy Era Emerges”, this will be the first international multi-disciplinary, inter-society oil and gas conference
and exhibition to be held in Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom, with some of the world’s largest oil reserves, occupies a unique position at the crossroads of
Europe, Africa and Asia, making it a fitting location for one of the largest and most prestigious international conferences for petroleum engineering.
IPTC is a collaborative effort among the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers
(EAGE), the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and is widely regarded by industry professionals as
a unique opportunity to promote technology dissemination and knowledge sharing on a global scale in a truly integrated manner.
On behalf of the IPTC Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, the Conference Programme Committee and the Host Organisation, it is our pleasure to
invite you to participate, and benefit from, the many technical papers, field trips and workshops at this prestigious event.
With over 6,000 participants from around the world expected to attend, IPTC provides organisations with a world-class platform to showcase new and
emerging technologies, and will enhance your company’s profile to a diverse group of industry professionals and decision-makers.
In addition to the many experts in attendance, IPTC provides many learning opportunities for students and proudly encourages the participation and
development of our talented young professionals.
We look forward to your support in making IPTC 2020 a banner event and to welcoming everyone to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in January 2020.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the Grand Opening Ceremony on 13 January 2020.

Diversity can be the strengths of a society and cultural barriers the weakness. Diversity without taking care of inclusion will be only an effort. Organisations that are able to focus on both diversity and inclusion practices, will experience the best outcomes and greatest alignment with business objectives.
Although good progress has been observed recently, a stark gap persists. Part of the problem is that “diversity” and “inclusion” are so often lumped together assuming that they’re the same thing. But that’s not the case. At the workplace, diversity equals representation. However, without inclusion, the crucial connections that attract diverse talent, encourage their participation, foster innovation, and lead to business growth, will not happen.
To build a culture of belonging, a strong inclusion programme is fundamental, for a healthier company, unleashing the very real value of a diverse workforce, and achieving diversity of thought at all levels.
This workshop will create the bases for a reflection on best practices to increase diversity, promote inclusion and to instigate the concept of belonging.

AWARD PRESENTATION AT THE OPENING SESSIONMonday, 13 January 0900–0930 | Hall 1
As the upstream oil and gas industry moves towards increasingly complex and capital intensive projects, we must challenge our conventional practices. It is critical that lessons are shared from successfully integrated projects that embody excellence. The IPTC committees and sponsoring societies believe in highlighting projects above USD 500 million that have demonstrated distinction throughout the entire exploration and production value chain.
The IPTC “Excellence in Project Integration” Award is given to a project that adds value to the industry and exemplifies strong teamwork, solid geoscience knowledge, reservoir and production engineering acumen, determined and watchful construction, and outstanding facilities engineering practices. Equally important, a successful project requires a pervasive culture of HSE, and a positive impact on the communities it affects.

Dammam is the regional capital of the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. This is home to a vast sea, beautiful beaches and excellent fishing spots. It is a favorite destination for tourists from different parts of the Kingdom. Dammam is considered as one of the most ancient inhabited places due to the discovery of many ancient artifacts in the Rakah neighborhood, pointing out that Dammam was a famous place for dwelling, a long time ago in the past.

Visit Saudi Arabia and Discover All It Has To Offer
Eastern ProvinceThe Eastern Province is home to most of the oil production of Saudi Arabia. Located in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia it is like a jewel with bright colors. It boasts of beautiful gardens and sandy beaches on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. It is a combination of emerald green sea, beautiful corniches and green oases, in addition to sprawling desert where sights extend for miles together to distant horizons.
Discover theCharming Coast!On the east coast of Saudi Arabia, you can see hundreds of fishing boats competing for space on the surface of the sea, as marine fishing was the traditional occupation here since the ancient times, and is still practiced by some.
Short Sea CruisesDiving centers organise Eastern cruises programs that include fishing and diving in several tourist areas on the Arabian Gulf coast, such as, Jana, Jarid, Karan Kareen Island, as well as visiting ship wrecks at Half moon bay, and wreckage of sunken ships near the port of Dammam, Khobar and Al Qatif.
WeatherWhen the temperature in the summer surges, people enjoy the picturesque marine atmosphere along the seafront, and the winter comes with amazing rainbow formations, and rains continue to pour until the arrival of spring.
