Message from the Chairpersons

The Canadian Society for Unconventional Gas (CSUG) and the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) are cosponsoring the first Canadian Unconventional Resources and International Petroleum Conference (CURIPC), 19–21 October 2010 in Calgary.

Significant advances in technology have helped convert the world’s vast unconventional resources into a growing reserve base. This North American technical meeting and exhibition will focus on these increasingly important resources.

We invite you to submit abstracts covering the broad spectrum of unconventional oil and gas technologies and experiences worldwide. We will accept paper proposal submissions online through 29 March 2010.

This new conference’s audience will be larger and more diverse as it brings together two great conferences for the first time: the Unconventional Gas Conference and the Canadian International Petroleum Conference.

If we select your paper, you will have the opportunity to present it to this audience, and it will be included in the multisociety library, OnePetro. Your paper may also be considered for publication in the Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology.

We look forward to your participation and attendance at what will be one of the premiere North American technical conferences in 2010.

Sincerely,

Michael Gatens Unconventional Gas Resources
