SPE Oil and Gas India Conference and Exhibition (OGIC) 2830 March 2012 Renaissance Mumbai Hotel, India

Further, Deeper, Tougher: The Quest Continues...

Welcome Letter from Conference Chairman

Dear Industry Colleagues, As the Conference Chairman for the third edition of the SPE Oil and Gas India Conference and Exhibition (OGIC), taking place 2830 March 2012 at the Renaissance Mumbai Hotel and Convention Centre in Mumbai, India, it is my great pleasure to invite you to participate at this event by submitting a paper proposal for consideration by the committee. An event dedicated to the Indian oil and gas industry has never been more fundamental. The oil and gas industry has been influential in stimulating India's economic growth; the petroleum and natural gas sector constitutes approximately 15% of the country's GDP. With the Indian economy expected to continue to demonstrate robust growth going forward, there is an emphasised need for wider and more intensive exploration for new finds, as well as more efficient and effective recovery. OGIC will incorporate a high quality, multi-disciplinary technical conference with an exhibition showcasing state-of-the-art and innovative technologies. With previous editions of this event proving to be highly successful, OGIC has become renowned for its comprehensive technical agenda and enticing exhibitions, hosting some of the most desirable companies in the oil and gas industry in India. With the theme Further, Deeper, Tougher: The Quest Continues, the conference will cover a wide spectrum of technical categories, some of which include: HSSE, deepwater exploration and development, drilling, well completions and services, oil and gas production and management, reservoir management, EOR/IOR, HR challenges and unconventional resources such as coal bed methane and shale gas etc. A complete list of technical categories and sub-categories is included in this brochure. I encourage you to submit a high quality paper proposal, before the deadline of 15 September 2011, to not only have the opportunity to be part of an outstanding technical programme but to get recognised by professionals and experts of the highest esteem.

Yours Sincerely, Sudhir Vasudeva ONGC OGIC Conference Chairman Director At-Large, SPE International ChairpersonSPE India Council
