IPTC 2022 - Fuelling Global Recovery through Sustainable Energy

This edition of the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) will be held 21–23 February 2022 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with Saudi Aramco serving as the Exclusive Host.

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).

Regional energy ministers, industry leaders, and governmental representatives will have an opportunity to discuss and share their views on timely industry topics and trends, exchange expertise and experience, present state-of-the-art technology and innovation, and to stimulate further research of technical and business activities.

In addition, awards and recognition will be given for organizations' efforts in technical and business contributions to the industry. There will also be a range of integrated social activities to encourage networking and offline discussion.
