OMICS Group cordially invites participants from all over the world to attend 2nd International Conference and Expo on Oil and Gas, scheduled during November 3-5, 2016 at Istanbul, Turkey.

Track 1: Upstream Process:
The upstream segment of the business is also known as the exploration and production (E & P) sector because it encompasses activities related to searching for, recovering and producing crude oil and natural gas.
Upstream is the first chronological step in the oil industry. Thus, it is the upstream aspects of the oil process which occur first and must set a strong, early foundation for everything that will follow. Upstream can be broken into many components, but the main ones we’ll touch on are: searching out and selecting potential oil sites, evaluation of these sites, drilling exploratory wells, and operating these wells to extract crude oil.

Oil Gas Expo 2015 attains greater global significance as the world economy has been developing with oil as its lifeblood for over a hundred years. Oil is directly responsible for about 2.5% of world GDP, but accounts for 1/3rd of humanity’s primary energy supply (>5 terawatts out of 15 terawatts total). It’s over half if you include natural gas.

Oil/gas powers 100% of all transportation, within a few significant figures of rounding error. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that modern civilization would collapse in a matter of months if oil stopped flowing.

It is hard to imagine industrial operations or even private activities without oil and gas – anywhere in the world. Not only do they supply energy for heat and power, they are also found in everyday items, such as medicines, plastics, and clothing.

During the period of 2009-2014, the global Oil and Gas market has generated about $5 trillion in revenue and has posted a strong growth of 11.9%. During the same period the U.S market generated $730 billion in revenue and has generated a growth of 7.6%. 

Oil and gas are also important for the number of jobs they provide. Tens of thousands of people work in the oil and gas industry. Each week Britain produces about two million tonnes of oil and gas. This is worth about £37 million pounds a day to the people of Britain.

Currently, oil accounts for around 40 per cent of the world energy mix. Gas currently accounts for around 23 per cent of the world’s commercial energy mix.

Using the reference case from OPEC’s World Energy Model, projections show global oil demand rising by 38 million barrels a day to 115 mb/d by 2025 — an annual average growth rate of 1.7 per cent.

OECD countries will continue to account for the largest share of world oil demand. However, almost three-quarters of the increase in demand of 38 mb/d over the period 2002–25 will come from developing countries, whose consumption will almost double. Asian countries will remain the key source of oil demand increase in the developing world, with China and India central to this growth.

Oil and Gas Expo from November 17-19, 2015 at Dubai, UAE with a theme “Innovative Technologies Boosting Oil and Gas Industries”. UAE is hosting Oil Gas Expo 2015 as in the Northern Emirates, by far the largest market for gas is Dubai, the trading and commercial hub of the UAE and the Gulf region as a whole.

UAE Oil and Gas – an environmentally sound future having established itself as one of the major players in the international oil and gas industry and an innovator in intra-Gulf cooperation, the UAE is setting its sights on responsible, secure and environmentally safe development in the century ahead. Leading figures in the UAE’s oil industry believe that further study is needed to see how the continued expanded use of oil as a power source could be made to be compatible with the growing awareness and concern around the world about preserving the environment

Symposium on International Energy Security - Energy Co-Operation, Energy Governance and Geopolitics of Energy

About the speaker

Professor (Munir) A F M Maniruzzaman

Chair in International Law and International Business Law, University of Portsmouth, U.K.
 

International Energy Security – Energy Co-operation, Energy Governance and Geopolitics of Energy

Energy is at the heart of foreign policy of many countries because it is the driving force of their economic development and / or geopolitical strategies. Certainly, it is increasingly proving to be a motivating factor for many major emerging-economy countries’ scrambling for energy resources around the world for energy supply security for their stable and sustainable economic growth. With the recent US shale revolution (or the so-called “shale oil boom”) the dynamics of security of demand for many traditional energy producers are heading for a paradigm shift. Thus, from the consumer and producer countries’ perspectives the notion of international energy security is in a flux lately. Along the energy security issues come other related ones such as global energy governance, energy co-operation and geopolitics of energy.

The present global energy governance framework is outdated in many respects, for when it was initiated in the past decades many of the current major emerging-economy countries were not part of the process, hence little reflection of their aspirations and expectations in it. Now the time has come to take into account their concerns in the global energy governance framework for it to be fit for purpose in the 21^st Century. More countries are participating as transit countries in cross-border pipeline networks and power grids. The concern of this increasingly emerging group of countries (other than the producer and consumer countries) for the security of energy transit is getting conflated into the notion of international energy security.

It is time that in the governance framework their interests are also represented. Co-operation for sustainable energy development complying with the environmental protection and climate compliant requirements is appearing as a pressing need of our time. The aforementioned aspects such as international energy security, global energy governance, energy co-operation could be impacted by the forces of geopolitics of energy on the national, regional and international levels.

The purpose of this symposium will be to explore some of these aspects and issues of great importance in the present-day world. This will be of interest to governments, international oil companies, business people, government policy makers, foreign policy makers, the oil and gas industry, energy infrastructure companies, lawyers and academics.

Workshop on Salt Diapirs

Speaker:

Khalil Sarkarinejad

Professor

Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran

Importance of Salt Diapirs

Salt has physical and rheological properties that make it fundamentally different from most other common rocks. Study of salt diapir structures and microstructures at surface such as, type of folding, finite strain analysis, kinematic vorticity analysis, pure shear and simple shear components, type of flow such as Poieuille flow or Couette flow make it possible to study 2D seismic profiles and 3D seismic volumes at depth for oil and gas explorations.

About the Speaker

Biography

Professor Khalil Sarkarinejad is micro-structural and structural geologist graduated at Cardiff University in Wales, head of Structural Geology Group at the Department of Earth Sciences, Shiraz University with extensive publications and reseach in the hinterland, foreland of the Zagros orogenic belt, controlling factors in the inclined curved transpression deformations.

Research interest

His main interest is study of the geometry and kinematics of the salt diapiric flow  at the surface including finite strain, kinematic vorticity flow analyses micro-structural foliation and lineation trajectories mapping in order to detecting complexities and explore complexities of the sub-surface 2D and 3D seismic images and micro-seismic salt flow images in complex onshore and offshore oil and gas traps.
