Dubai, UAE (20 September 2016)— Access is completely free to the exhibition at SPE’s Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE), to be held in Dubai from 26 – 28 September, with exhibition visitors able to enjoy both a world-class exhibition as well as a packed complementary programme.  

 Visitors will be able to attend the Opening Ceremony and enjoy one technical session from the main conference, taking their pick from the 58 technical sessions on offer.

 The exhibition itself will feature over 250 exhibitors showcasing a broad range of the latest technologies, new products and valuable industry services. Highlights of the exhibition include:

 Field testing technology;

  • Software for capex cost estimation and seismic/geological interpretation;
  • Drilling analytics solutions; and
  • Nanotechnology for downhole application.

 Over 16 hours of technical content on the exhibition floor will be accessible through Knowledge Sharing ePoster Presentations, as well as additional technical presentations by exhibitors over the course of the three days.

 There will be more insights to be gained in the SPE Pavilion, which will host a number of presentations as well as the SPE Bookstore and SPE member engagement centre.

 The exhibition will also be an excellent opportunity to network during the coffee and lunch breaks with the 8,000+ oil and gas industry professionals expected to attend this year’s event.

 Visitors will be able to learn, improve their expertise and collaborate at a number of paid training courses taking place alongside ATCE. These courses will cover the following themes:

  • Horizontal well completions;
  • Unconventional reservoir production (rate-transient) analysis;
  • Hydraulic fracturing – design and treatment.

 ATCE will be hosted by ADNOC and take place under the patronage of the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
