Qatar Petroleum International (QPI) sponsored the 8th International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) held in Kuala Lumpur from December 10 to 12.
QPI was instrumental in establishing IPTC as an upstream event across the globe. As a long-term sponsor of the event, the company helped ensure the success of the event by establishing IPTC as the largest multi-society and multi-disciplinary conference in the Eastern hemisphere.
“Our experience in the global energy market affirms that solutions derived from leading technologies are the means for the sustainable development of our industry. As the largest oil and gas exhibition, IPTC is the ideal platform to showcase such pioneering solutions and pave the way for future generations,” said QPI chief executive and IPTC co-founder Nasser al-Jaidah.
Al-Jaidah added, “Thanks to recent innovation, sources of oil and natural gas, (once) dismissed as uneconomic or inaccessible, are being transformed into reliable energy supplies. QPI’s continued support for platforms such as IPTC demonstrates our belief in the transformative power of technology towards creating safe, affordable, and clean energy solutions to benefit people all over the world.”
QPI also had a booth at the exhibition on the sidelines alongside other participating Qatar Petroleum subsidiaries, including RasGas, Qatargas, Qatar Petroleum Industrial Cities, Qatar Fuel Additives Company (Qafac), and Qatar Petrochemical Company (Qapco).
QPI staff provided visitors with information on QPI’s vision for the future and the technological support it provides to its oil assets around the world.
Qatar Petroleum will host the 9th IPTC to be held at the Qatar National Convention Centre in December 2015.
Al-Jaidah’s “IPTC Distinguished Service Award,” bestowed in January 2014 during the 7th IPTC, recognises dedicated members, who have distinguished themselves in a singular and beneficial long-term service to IPTC.
Al-Jaidah also served as an honourable adviser in the past seven IPTC events since its inception.
