Conferences abound. You can’t attend all of them. You have to pick and choose. ONS 2010 might have been worth your time, as indicated by the following presentation …

Heavy Oil
"What’s next for heavy oil?" Kambiz Safinya, heavy oil theme director, Schlumberger, USA.
Unfortunately, I learned of this conference too late. By the time you read this, you won’t have time to arrange to attend. Sorry about that. Still, it is a recurring event. You might be interested in putting it on your calendar for the next time.
And, such conferences usually publish proceedings which can be valuable sources of information. Contact the organizers at:

Here is some background from the ONS site …
During the 35 years that it has been held in the Norwegian city of Stavanger, ONS has become one of the key events bringing major industry movers and shakers together. From its earlier focus on offshore technology and the Norwegian continental shelf, the expo has now become a meeting place for the global energy industry.
UNIQUE
During the past decade ONS has incorporated alternative and renewable energy into its portfolio alongside the exciting oil and gas sector. Our unique total concept, embracing an exhibition, a conference and a thrilling cultural festival, provides a unique opportunity to combine business with networking.
STAVANGER
We are proud to invite you to the energy capital of Norway. During its 40 years of involvement in the international offshore business, Stavanger has developed into an important centre for petroleum-related research and technical development. In combination with the surrounding countryside, our culinary riches and welcoming people, the scene is set for an energy expo second to none.
WELCOME
From 24-27 August 2010, we welcome you to join 42 000 visitors from close to 100 countries and over 1 200 international exhibitors. ONS 2010 will continue the successful journey that started with the first conference and exhibition in 1974. Do you want to be a part of it? Getting to Stavanger is easy; just one stop connects you with the rest of the world.

And here is some background on Kambiz Safinya, heavy oil theme director, Schlumberger, USA, presenter of the paper mentioned above … "What’s next for heavy oil?".

Introducing the new Theme Director for the Schlumberger heavy oil initiative
We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new Theme Director for the Schlumberger heavy oil initiative. Kambiz Safinya has taken over the role from Jorge Lopez de Cardenas who is now leading a number of new assignments.
Dr Safinya has been with Schlumberger for more than 26 years in a variety of technical, research, marketing and management roles. He holds a Bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics from Bates College, Maine, USA, and both a Master's and Doctorate in physics from Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA.
His career with Schlumberger has taken him from the USA to Asia, and from the Middle East to Europe, with assignments ranging from research and development in wireline logging to electromagnetic equipment design, and from operations management and marketing to the integration of electromagnetic and seismic measurements.
"Heavy oil reservoir development presents a number of significant technical challenges that require much communication between reservoir experts and technology developers," observes Dr Safinya. " In this respect, heavyoilinfo.com has become an industry channel to share experience, and one that I believe will add considerable value to sharing knowledge. I look forward to my involvement."
