In response to high interest from submitting authors, the new deadline and last opportunity to submit abstracts is 22 August 2022. The Congress will take place from 17-21 September 2023 in Calgary, Alberta.
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for paper and poster presentations at www.24wpc.com to share their innovative solutions connected to the theme: Energy Transition: The Path to Net Zero. The 17 technical topics include innovations in upstream, midstream, downstream, petrochemicals, natural gas, clean technology, and the future of the energy landscape.
“The 24th Congress will be one of the year’s premier global energy conferences. With a continued strong response from authors worldwide, we have made the decision to do a final extension for those still working on submissions. We look forward to having all abstracts submitted by the 22 August, which will contribute to a high-quality conference agenda that will drive solutions on the industry’s role to achieve a net zero future,” said Denis Painchaud, President, and CEO of OCAN.
“The Congress will create a forum where industry leaders, policy makers and innovators can engage in solutions-based discussions on the energy transition. We encourage everyone to submit their abstracts for one of 17 technical programs by the 22 August, so they can play a role in the energy transition dialogue,” 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.

Oil and gas operations are commonly found in remote locations far from company headquarters. Now, it's possible to monitor pump operations, collate and analyze seismic data, and track employees around the world from almost anywhere. Whether employees are in the office or in the field, the internet and related applications enable a greater multidirectional flow of information – and control – than ever before.
