13th Int'l Conference on Petroleum Data Integration, Data and Information Management

May 12-14, 2009

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of PNEC Conferences, I would like to invite you or others in your company to speak at the 13th International Conference on Petroleum Data Integration, Information and Data Management scheduled for May 12-14, 2009, at the Renaissance Houston Hotel located in Houston, Texas. This conference is building on the great success from the record conference which occurred in April 2008. Our conferences have become the key conferences for petroleum data technology and information management in the petroleum industry. We had fantastic and most successful 12th Conference with attendance of well over 400 attendees coming from over 22 countries and over 120 companies, and 26 exhibitors. We expect next year's Houston conference to grow and set records again during this unique time in the oilpatch.

"Petroleum Data and Information Management - Integration, Collaboration and Control -
The Collision of Multiple Needs and Uses"

The growing enterprise dilemma is to manage data and information that achieves increased knowledge and asset value along with increased return on investment. The resulting challenges posed are massive at this critical juncture. People must respond to additional value streams like real-time data collection; integration with complex geological and reservoir models; faster analysis times; and shorter turn-around times using data and information to make effective real-time analyses.

This conference looks at best practices and real world cases and solutions involving petroleum data and information management across the E&P enterprise. Delegates receive a fantastic global view of the state of data applications plus future technology directions including integration, interoperability strategies, data and information quality, life-cycle management, archival and storage, data management policy and process development, optimization, portal and web developments, architecture developments and solutions, security developments, standards, G&G developments, reservoir and production developments infrastructure and computer software changes and more.
