Its series of International Events began in Europe in 1983. We are now approaching the 17th Multiphase Production Technology Conference, known to regular delegates as “The Cannes Conference”. With an international reputation as a strongly technical event presenting peer-reviewed papers of the highest quality, the Cannes Conference has long been regarded as the premier event in the field and an essential diary date for all engineers concerned with any aspect of multiphase technology. Conference Outline Venue Pressures on oil & gas companies demand greater understanding of flow assurance, multiphase flows and production chemistry, whilst in-house expertise cannot necessarily cover all successful innovative developments. The networking that the Conference provides is a key added benefit to the presentations. At earlier Multiphase Conferences, delegates’ feedback told us that networking with the “gurus” had saved them precious months in solving project problems and we anticipate this will be replicated in 2015. The 17th International Conference on Multiphase Production Technology is back once again in Cannes, France. The conference will take place in the Novotel Cannes Montfleury. Cannes is a short road transfer from Nice Airport, the second-largest airport in France and a regular destination for long-haul, European and budget airlines. Multiphase production solutions have enabled the oil & gas industry to improve its production performance, extend its operations and enter progressively more technically challenging areas. The lessons learned, the modelling techniques developed and the practical experiences of its users are of value to engineers in a range of industries including oil & gas, process, chemicals, mining, water and power. The World’s Multiphase experts will convene at Multiphase 2015 to share the latest developments and provide delegates with opportunities to discuss new research and developments, to consider innovative solutions and to explore technology transfer between industries. Further travel and accommodation details will be included in the reservation leaflet, available in Spring 2015. Who Should Attend The conference will benefit anyone engaged in the application, development and research of multiphase technology for the oil and gas industry. Applications in the oil and gas industry will also be of interest to engineers from other industries for which multiphase technology offers a novel solution to their problems. The conference will also be of particular value to designers, facilities and operations engineers, consultants and researchers from operating, contracting, consultancy and technology companies. Learning Seminar Following their success in previous years, we will be offering a new Learning Seminar in 2015, focusing on best practices and lessons learned for establishing, running and monitoring R&D projects from the perspectives of both funders and researchers. It will cover both technical and non-technical issues, including scopes of work, business cases, contracts and stakeholder engagement. CALL FOR PAPERS Scope Applications Papers and case studies are invited on current techniques and new developments under the following topics. • Geographical challenges - environmental issues; Given the ever-changing technical demands, the Committee suggests prospective authors should consider the following questions: • Where are the current barriers to production and how are they changing? • What are the sector drivers and what will their impact be? • How can we apply existing technologies to develop ultra-deep water and unconventional reserves? • What have we learned to help us in the future? Priority will be given to case studies and field applications that highlight business drivers and lessons learned. Authors are invited to submit title and abstract within the scope of the conference to reach the conference organrelevant to the scope and the title should briefly describe the content of the paper. Abstracts may be submitted by email to: [email protected]. Submission Timetable • Deadline for receipt of abstract: 15th Nov 2014 • Deadline for receipt of manuscript: 13th Feb 2015 Abstracts should be submitted by email to: [email protected] Selection Selection of papers will take account of originality, relevance and likely interest to delegates. Predominantly theoretical papers are normally expected to include experimental or other practical validation. Papers should be of a technical nature and we recommend that authors also take an exhibition stand should they wish to support their presentations with commercial material. difficult terrain; deep & ultra-deep waters; cold environment; subsea and long distance tiebacks; unconventional reserves; sand & particle transport; downhole & seabed processing; wet vs. dry wells; hilly terrain pipeline operations • Flows - flow assurance; flowlines & risers; steeply inclined flows; rheology/complex fluids; bundles/ heating systems; slug management & control; turbulence & wave motion; thermal remediation • Application of flow modelling-field validation; multidimensional modelling; new applications Technologies • Production chemistry prediction and mitigation - emulsions, foams & slurries; hydrates, asphaltenes & waxes; sand & scale • Equipment - integrated production systems; multiphase pumping & boosting; separation & separator vessels; multiphase metering; instrumentation & control; pigging • Flow simulation-modelling studies; experimental data scale-up; validation • Pipeline protection-corrosion & erosion; leak detection in multiphase systems Important Notes for Authors • Papers must be original, unpublished, and not pending • • • • Be part of the premier Multiphase event. Submit your abstract today for the chance to: • • Present your work to an International audience of your peers from industry and academia. • Publish your work in the Conference Proceedings and online through OnePetro. • • publication elsewhere. The author submits each paper on the understanding that the paper must be reviewed and approved by an independent referee. If the paper is accepted, the author must attend the whole conference to present the paper and discuss with delegates. Each presenting author is entitled to 25% discount on the full conference fee. Papers, and presentation at the conference, must be in English. Papers should be no longer than 15 printed pages. There is no minimum length. The title should be appropriate to the scope and should accurately describe the content of the paper. BHR Group will supply guidelines for the preparation of manuscripts. Papers conforming to these guidelines will, subject to final refereeing, be accepted for commercial publication. The copyright of accepted papers must be transferred to the Publisher. Authors who wish to retain copyright must notify the organisers when submitting their abstracts. The presenting author will receive one copy of the published proceedings.
