Dear Friends,
We extend a warm welcome to you to URTeC 2025, where we highlight how the oil and gas industry is driving innovation in unconventional reservoirs. These advancements are not only enhancing resource development but are also being adapted to support emerging energies. The expertise gained in oil and gas exploration is now shaping a dynamic environment for new energy solutions to thrive.
This year's program is exceptionally diverse and compelling, reflecting the industry's evolving landscape. With oral presentations and alternate papers, the focus remains on fostering collaboration and integration across subsurface G&G disciplines, geomechanics, formation evaluation, wellhead design, completion design, enhanced recovery, production forecasting, and the crucial environmental, social, and corporate governance factors. The conference will begin with the Plenary Session, a key highlight of the event, featuring insightful discussions on the evolution of unconventional resources, exploring our past achievements, current position, and future direction. Additionally, we have introduced a dedicated session for emerging new energies, focusing on how unconventional reservoirs are contributing to and benefiting from the evolving landscape of these energy solutions. Attendees can also choose from a variety of special sessions, panel sessions, and topical lunch presentations.
In the exhibition hall, numerous companies, organizations, and educational institutions will present groundbreaking research and technologies. Be sure to visit the New Technology Showcase (formerly “U-Pitch”), where you can explore the latest innovations driving efficiency and environmental sustainability in the field.
By aiding in providing a sound base for the energy transformation, we recognize the industry's resilience and adaptability. URTeC continues to stand as the prime platform where professionals in unconventional resources converge to expand horizons with new approaches and technologies. This collaborative environment not only fosters the development of efficient and synergistic teams but also ensures the long-term success of companies, ultimately leading to better results. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and are confident that URTeC 2025 will offer you valuable insights and meaningful connections. We hope the conference inspires you and strengthens your commitment to the future of energy.
Embrace the conference, and may it be a source of valuable insights and enriching experiences for you!
Sincerely,
Technical Program Co-Chairs
