24th World Petroleum Congress call for papers extended to August 8

CALGARY — The 24th World Petroleum Congress (24th WPC) Organising Committee for Canada (OCAN) announced an extension for the Call for Papers.

In response to high interest from submitting authors, the new deadline to submit abstracts is August 8, 2022. The Congress will take place from September 17-21, 2023, in Calgary, Alberta.

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for paper and poster presentations here to share their innovative solutions based on the theme: Energy Transition: The Path to Net Zero.

The 17 technical topics include innovations in upstream, downstream, petrochemicals, natural gas, and the future of the energy landscape.

“The 24th Congress will be one of the year’s premier global energy conferences. Due to a strong response from authors worldwide, we are extending the deadline for those still working on submissions. This will ensure authors have adequate time to develop and share the highest quality abstracts for the Congress” said Denis Painchaud, President, and CEO of OCAN.

“The Congress is meant to share diverse perspectives, allowing for a global dialogue on energy transition solutions. Through our technical forums, we look forward to hosting thought leaders across the industry to contribute to the energy transition,” added Dean Tucker, COO of OCAN.

Held every three years in select international cities, the WPC is the world’s premier oil, gas and energy forum that attracts the attendance of heads of state, energy leaders and technical experts who discuss the challenges and opportunities of managing the world’s petroleum and energy resources for the benefit of all.

Under the theme of “Energy Transition: The Path to Net Zero,” the 24th WPC in Calgary will feature a multistream conference, including strategic and technical sessions, programming for young professionals, and special entertainment events such as Canada Night, Women’s Networking Breakfast, Ministerial Reception, Excellence Awards and much more.

The Congress is expected to draw over 5,000 delegates from more than 100 countries, 50 ministerial delegations, 700 expert speakers, and 800 media. Over 15,000 unique visitors are expected to participate in the Congress, which will also feature the World Petroleum Exhibition comprising of over 200 international exhibitors.
