ConocoPhillips Qatar yesterday concluded its “successful participation” as a principal sponsor of the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) 2014.
The energy company welcomed delegates and visitors to its interactive community stand, where they were met and greeted by the ConocoPhillips and the Global Water Sustainability Centre (GWSC) team.
The US-based energy major also brought in experts from its global operations, including ConocoPhillips vice president (exploration and production) Matt Fox, to the event to share their knowledge, expertise and informative case studies,
Fox presented a case study on the US natural gas revolution in a panel that included participants representing ExxonMobil, Oryx GTL, Shell, Saudi Aramco, Adnoc, GDF Suez and Petroleum Development Oman.
ConocoPhillips senior reservoir engineer Hari Sudan participated in a session that focused on integrated reservoir modelling and characterisation and presented a paper titled “Application of an Integrated Approach to Preserve Geologic and Seismic Consistency in a History Matching Workflow of a North Sea Chalk Reservoir”.
ConocoPhillips’ “Kulluna for Health and Safety” corner at the exhibition proved to be a “main attraction,” drawing more than 600 visitors, who were given the opportunity to take control of their health and run a biometric health checkup.
Kulluna is a partnership between ConocoPhillips and Hamad Medical Corp (HMC) and aims to raise public awareness towards general health issues, personal safety, and lifesaving practices within Qatar.
The interactive community stand showcased the company’s technical capabilities along with its community investment initiatives in Qatar. This included the award-winning GWSC, which focuses on raising awareness about water sustainability and conducts research desalination and by-products.
“I believe we have achieved an important objective through our presence at IPTC,” said Gary Sykes, ConocoPhillips Qatar president. “We were able to use this platform to inform people about the important work ConocoPhillips is doing to engage the local community and make it a better place for future generations.”
Safety, one of ConocoPhillips’ strategic pillars, also had its share at the company’s exhibition stand, which reflects commitment to placing safety at the heart of its work. The delegates visiting the exhibition stand were introduced to ConocoPhillips’ “eight life saving rules”, which focus on process safety, risk management, emergency preparedness and environmental performance.
