CALL FOR PAPERS

WELCOME LETTER

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the 2015 SPE Middle East Intelligent Oil & Gas Programme Committee, it gives us great pleasure to invite you to submit paper proposals for this year’s conference. The event will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 26–28 October 2015. The theme of this conference is “Transforming for Improved Decisions”. The inaugural event of the Intelligent Energy series in 2006 focused on the latest technological developments in this area. In 2008, the aim was to deepen and broaden the knowledge of what digital technologies have successfully achieved. The 2010 addition focused on the value, the 2012 theme focused on transformation and the need for accelerated implementation while the 2013 theme focused on realising the full asset value.

In 2015, it is time to look at transforming for improved decision-making. The industry has gone a long way in implementation and has realised many benefits, yet there lies a huge potential not yet explored. Our aim, in this episode of this successful programme, is to examine this potential and how it can be harnessed. The conference will further serve as a knowledge and experience-sharing platform for Intelligent Energy development and implementation across the E&P value chain. We will also look to other industries for lessons learnt and examples of how access to real-time data has transformed their business operations.

To this end, five main categories have been identified, encompassing various key focus areas:(1) People and Change Management(2) Real-Time Data and Measurements(3) Asset Reliability and Integrity(4) Integrated Workflow and Value Creation(5) New Trends and Emerging Technologies

The programme committee would like to solicit paper proposals that address any of the above five categories and their subcategories as described in the attachment. We look forward to receiving your submission, and are very interested to learn of your experiences with digital energy in the formation, innovation, or transformation of your business.

Regards,

TECHNICAL CATEGORIES Use the topics included in this leaflet to indicate the topic that best describes your paper proposal. A primary choice is required; however, a secondary choice is optional. Paper proposals are evaluated on the basis of the information supplied on the paper proposal form in accordance with the following criteria: 1. The proposed paper or ePoster must
