OPENING KEYNOTE:
His Excellency, Dr Abdul Hussain bin Ali Mirza, Minster of Energy and Chairman, NATIONAL OIL AND GAS AUTHORITY (NOGA)
• Understanding the current economic outlook and anticipating future pressures including: the price per barrel in 5-10 years, coping with oil reserve depletion,
harnessing the search to find new and more challenging to find oil discoveries. Where does heavy oil fit within the mix? What new heavy oil reserve
announcements can we expect in the coming 5-10 years?
• Global growth in 2015 and beyond – unlocking mature fields and optimising production. The evolving global heavy oil offering – what will the heavy oil
industry look like 10 years from now? How can contractual arrangements be optimised and designed to serve the interest of both the host country and
potential contractor?
• What innovative trends and transformations will define the future of heavy oil conversion? How will technologies evolving today underpin products and
profitability for refineries tomorrow?
• The role of Government in driving international dialogue across the oil industry for sustainable development of heavy oil.

• With the advancement of heavy oil EOR success in Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait,
how are MENA NOCs progressing in preparing their own heavy oil strategies?
Are such strategies helping to ensure in country value and the transformation
of a broader country framework?
• Learning from the West. Insight into successfully applied IOC strategies for
commercialising heavy oil reserves.
• Bringing heavy crudes to market. How are vertically integrated
NOCs aligning their E&P and downstream business units to ensure
a sustainable and commercially viable future?
• Securing investment for grassroots downstream mega projects
and ultimately increasing refining capacity. Understand funding
options and the best routes forward.

AGENDA

With new refineries becoming more complex they also become more
flexible allowing refiners to adapt and expand their refineries in
future years.
The latest technologies and processes for the conversion of heavy oil
into feedstocks, light and specialty products will be under discussion
including:
• Alkylation and polymerisation
• Isomerisation
CASE STUDY 1: An evaluation of the challenges faced in the steam EOR pilot in
the Aruma Reservoir, the shallowest hydrocarbon bearing reservoir in the
Awali _eld containing very viscous tar and bitumen. Case study presenting
early pilot findings.
CASE STUDY 2: The Heavy oil recovery via thermal methods has been
identified as a key growth area in the Middle East. The recently commissioned
Large Scale Thermal Pilot North Project is a key project in the EOR arena. This
case study will cover the lessons learnt and resulting best practices from this
successful startup including: a) engineering standardisation b) modularisation
c) operational flexibility d) unique contracting strategy between client and
contractor.
CASE STUDY 3: Using one of Middle East’s most abundant resources,
Oman has been spearheading solar EOR projects since 2012.
With almost three years of continuous success, Petroleum Development
Oman (PDO) and GlassPoint Solar are beginning work on their next solar
EOR project, Miraah, which is expected to be one of the largest solar project
in the world. Real life performance and operational data from the existing
project will showcase how Miraah can reduce Oman’s EOR dependence on
gas with solar energy and meet Oman’s steam demands for their heavy oil
projects.
