This could include, for example, innovative ways to build the stand, reduce general waste, an innovative delegate gift or the innovative use of energy-efficient lighting.

The 20th WPC Call for Papers has broken all records with nearly 2,000 abstract proposals received for the 300 places at the Congress. All authors have now been sent notifications. Given the high quality of submissions, the Chairs faced a difficult task selecting the best papers and posters for the 24 Forum sessions in the five blocks of the technical programme focusing on key areas of the oil and gas industry.

Posters will be showcased in the state-of-the-art Digital Poster Plaza where delegates will have the opportunity to view and interact with Poster authors.  A full schedule will be available soon. Additional information is available in our 20th WPC Programme Brochure, which you can download from our website here. For any additional queries please contact speaker20wpc@qp.com.qa.
