Dear All,
Re : THIRTIETH ANNUAL IPA CONVENTION & EXHIBITION The Thirtieth Annual IPA Convention & Exhibition will be held in the Jakarta Convention Centre from August 30 - September 1, 2005. The Technical Committee is issuing this CALL FOR PAPERS announcement to solicit potential papers and posters suitable for the technical programme of the convention. The theme for the 2005 IPA Annual Convention & Exhibition is "The Urgency of Building Competitiveness to Attract Oil & Gas Investment in Indonesia". This theme is of keen interest to all of us directly or indirectly involved with the industry in Indonesia as we strive to stimulate exploration for discovery of new oil and gas reserves, bring new discoveries into development, arrest declining production, develop new and innovative technologies to improve the efficiency of our business and endeavour to ensure we operate in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. The Technical Programme Committee is committed to putting together a strong technical and business programme of papers and posters to do our part in ensuring the IPA Convention & Exhibition continues to be a well-attended, industry-respected and prestigious event. We seek your assistance and commitment to promote your staff to contribute to the programme by preparing papers and posters. The deadline for submission of abstracts is January 14, 2005 to ensure that sufficient time is allowed for authors to first submit abstracts and, upon acceptance, to produce highest-calibre papers for publication. Our objective is to put together a strong programme which addresses the theme for the Convention & Exhibition. We are targeting approximately 100 papers from all aspects of the petroleum industry. The technical programme offers a unique opportunity for multi-disciplinary interaction amongst national and international participants from oil and gas companies, service companies, academic institutions and other hydrocarbon business entities. Your continued support is critical to the success of the Thirtieth Annual IPA Convention & Exhibition. Please plan to take an active role by ensuring the widest possible exposure of this CALL FOR PAPERS within your company and by encouraging and supporting the people in your organisation to participate in this important event. With much appreciation and thanks Sincerely yours, John A. Bates Chairman - Technical Programme Committee 30th Annual IPA Convention & Exhibition
