Qatar Petroleum International showcases its support for cutting edge technology at the 8th International Petroleum Technology Conference in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
With the theme
‘Inspiring Technology, Transforming Our Future’, Qatar Petroleum International sponsored
the 8th International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) held in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. Hosted from 10 – 12 December, the conference returned to
Malaysia for the first time since 2008.
Over the years,
Qatar Petroleum International (QPI) was instrumental in establishing IPTC as a
prestigious upstream event across the globe. As long-term sponsors of the
event, the company helped ensure the success of the event by establishing IPTC
as the largest multi-society and multi-disciplinary conference in the Eastern
hemisphere.
“Our experience
in the global energy market affirms that solutions derived from leading
technologies are the means for the sustainable development of our industry. As
the largest oil and gas exhibition, IPTC is the ideal platform to showcase such
pioneering solutions and pave the way for future generations,” said Nasser
Al-Jaidah, CEO of Qatar Petroleum International and Co-Founder of IPTC, who was
also honoured with the ‘IPTC Distinguished Service Award’ at last year’s
conference. Al-Jaidah added: “Thanks to recent innovation, sources of oil and
natural gas, dismissed as uneconomic or inaccessible, are being transformed
into reliable energy supplies. QPI’s continued support for platforms such as
IPTC demonstrates our belief in the transformative power of technology towards
creating safe, affordable, and clean energy solutions to benefit people all
over the world.”
Qatar Petroleum
International also participated with a booth at the exhibition alongside other
participating Qatar Petroleum subsidiaries including RasGas Company Limited,
Qatargas Operating Company Ltd., Qatar Petroleum Industrial Cities, Qatar Fuel
Additives Company Limited (Qafac) and Qatar Petrochemical Company (Qapco).
QPI staff
provided exhibition visitors with information on QPI’s vision for the future
and the technological support it provides to its oil assets around the world.
Qatar Petroleum
will serve as the host organization for the 9th IPTC in Doha next
year, which will take place at the Qatar National Convention Centre in December
2015.
Earlier this
year, the 7th IPTC held in Doha honoured QPI CEO Nasser Al-Jaidah
with a special “IPTC Distinguished Service Award” in January 2014. The award
recognises dedicated members who have distinguished themselves in a singular
and beneficial long-term service to IPTC.
Al-Jaidah, a founding member of the international conference, served as
an honourable adviser in the past seven IPTC events since its inception.
