The event is to rotate in various venues in the Eastern Hemisphere. The scope of the conference programme and associated industry activities will address technology and relevant industry issues that challenge industry specialists and management around the world, particularly in the gas business and certain overarching issues such as HSE, security, HR and training. IPTC is a collaborative event between the following societies: Founded in 1917, AAPG is the premiere global organization for petroleum explorationists with over 42,500 members in 129 countries. The original purpose of AAPG, to foster scientific research, to advance the science of geology, to promote technology, and to inspire high professional conduct, still guides the Association today. AAPG provides publications, conferences, and educational opportunities to geoscientists and disseminates the most current geological information available to the general public. EAGE is a professional association for geoscientists and engineers. Founded in 1951, it is an organization with a worldwide membership providing a global network of commercial and academic professionals. The association is truly multi-disciplinary and international in form and pursuits. All members of EAGE are professionally involved in (or studying) geophysics, petroleum exploration, geology, reservoir engineering, mining and civil engineering. EAGE operates two divisions: the Oil & Gas Geoscience Division and the Near Surface Geoscience Division. EAGE organises the following activities for its members: 1. Events (conferences, exhibitions, workshops) 2. Publications (journals, books) 3. Educational Programmes (short courses, lectures) 4. Student Programmes 5. Recruitment SEG is the world’s leading geosciences society with more than 32,000 members in 136 countries across the globe. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists provides its members with the resources and tools they need for a successful professional career, and serves the geosciences community with timely events, helpful information and networking. For more information visit the SEG website at www.seg.org. The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit professional association whose members are engaged in energy resources development and production. SPE serves more than 124,000 members in 135 countries worldwide. SPE is a key resource for technical knowledge related to the oil and gas exploration and production industry and provides services through its publications, events, training courses, and online resources at www.spe.org. www.iptcnet.org/2015/doha
