Exhibition and Sponsor Guide
SPE/EAGE European Unconventional Resources Conference and Exhibition
Vienna, Austria – 25 – 27 February 2014
1 General information
1.1 The organisers
1.1.1 EAGE
The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) is a professional association for
geoscientists and engineers with around 16,000 members worldwide. The objective is to collect and
distribute technical knowledge. It provides a global network of commercial and academic professionals
to all members. The association is truly multi-disciplinary and international in form and pursuits. All
members of EAGE are professionally involved in (or studying) geophysics, petroleum exploration,
geology, reservoir engineering, mining and civil engineering. EAGE’s Head Office is located in the
Netherlands, its Regional Offices in Houten (Europe Office), Moscow (Russia & CIS Office), Dubai (Middle
East Office) and Kuala Lumpur (Asia Pacific Office).
EAGE organises the following activities for its members:
1. Events (conferences, exhibitions, workshops)
2. Publications (journals, books)
3. Educational Programmes (short courses, lectures)
4. Student Programmes
5. Recruitment
1.1.2 SPE
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit professional association whose members are
engaged in energy resources development and production. SPE serves more than 104,000 members in
123 countries worldwide. SPE is a key resource for technical knowledge related to the oil and gas
exploration and production industry and provides services through its publications, events, training
courses, and online resources at www.spe.org.
Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programmes.
When you attend, sponsor, or exhibit at an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for
industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships,
certification, the Distinguished Lecturer programme and SPE’s energy education programme,
Energy4me, are just a few examples of programmes that are supported by SPE. For more information,
visit www.spe.org.
1.2 The event
SPE/EAGE European Unconventional Resources Conference and Exhibition will be held in Reed Messe
Wien in Vienna, Austria. The theme for this conference is “Unlocking European Potential”.
Both SPE and EAGE have identified the increasingly important role unconventionally trapped oil and gas
production is playing in the world energy mix. The theme for this conference is “Unlocking European
Potential”. This event comes at a critical point in the development of unconventional resources in
Europe, with some countries forging ahead while others have instigated moratoria. The public,
environmental groups and politicians hotly debate the possible benefits of this new source of energy
and the perceived environmental risks. This event provides an opportunity to address and discuss both
the technical and non-technical challenges across a broad spectrum of expertise.
SPE/EAGE European Unconventional Resources Conference and Exhibition
Vienna, Austria – 25 – 27 February 2014
The event is aimed at developing a better understanding of not only the technical and technological
solutions to economically producing unconventional oil and gas, but also at identifying appropriate
regulatory approaches and technological developments that will help address non-technical and
environmental challenges such as access, footprint, water use, and noise. This event is an excellent way
for a wide range of professionals in the oil and gas industry to come together to share best practices and
to discuss ideas for further improvement with key stakeholders.
