Nanotechnology in Upstream E&P: Nano-Scale Revolutions to Mega-Scale Challenges

3-6 February 2008
Hilton Dubai Jumeirah
Dubai, UAE

To date, there seems to be a mutual lack of awareness between the E&P sector in the oil and gas industry and the nanotechnology community. While the E&P sector may be uninformed of the full and hidden potentials of nanotechnology, there is a corresponding under appreciation of the E&P challenges among nanotechnologists. This Applied Technology Workshop will provide a golden opportunity for participants from both fields to share their expert knowledge and promote means for future collaboration.

Objectives

  • Provide an overview and increase the general awareness about nanotechnology in upstream E&P
  • Layout key challenges in the E&P upstream sector and illustrate capabilities of nanotechnogy in addressing these challenges
  • Examine how to leverage the billions of dollars of investments in nanotechnology for use in upstream E&P
  • Promote networking between nanotechnologists and E&P technology professionals
  • Determine the extent to which the oil & gas industry can draw upon lessons learned from nanotechnology developments in other industries
  • Create a high-level nanotechnology roadmap for upstream E&P

Who Should Attend

Professionals from industry, academia and government who are interested in nanotechnology and its applications in the oil and gas industry will benefit from this workshop.
