Webcast

PennEnergy's Oil & Gas Journal Research Center is pleased to present the webcast "EOR/IOR and the Future of Global Oil Supply," scheduled for 12:00 pm CDT on April 16, 2008.

The webcast is thematically connected to and an official event of the 2008 Improved Oil Recovery Symposium in Tulsa, Okla., on April 19-23. The symposium is sponsored by the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Mid-continent Section and the US Department of Energy. It is the world's largest gathering of petroleum engineers, geoscientists, and others specializing in the related fields of IOR and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). As many as 800 of these experts are expected to attend the Tulsa symposium. For more information on the IOR 2008 conference and exhibition, please visit the website at http://www.speior.org/.

With oil prices topping $100/barrel, interest in IOR/EOR in this country has never been higher. Indeed, technology advances in IOR/EOR may prove to be what staves off the "peak" in global oil production that some are predicting.

Three noted oil and gas industry leaders and key participants in IOR2008 are headlining the webcast: William F. Lawson, IOR2008 General Chair, Rafael Sandrea, IOR2008 Plenary Speaker, and Paul Willhite, IOR2008 Technical Program Chair. Bob Williams, former Executive Editor of Oil & Gas Journal and currently Director of Research for the Oil & Gas Journal Research Center, will moderate the webcast.

The webcast will be in a panel discussion format followed by a Q&A session as follows:

• Webcast overview/introductions - Williams
• IOR/EOR in a world of $100/bbl oil - Lawson
• IOR and future oil supply potential - Sandrea
• IOR's technical challenges - Willhite
• Q&A
