2014 IADC Well Control Europe CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION 2-3 December 2014 Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Center Aberdeen, United Kingdom The 2014 IADC Well Control Conference Europe will seek to examine the innovations that are Call For Abstracts shaping the future of well control, from technology to personnel competencies. This event will focus on timely technical presentations highlighting recent developments and innovations in technology, techniques, training, management systems, and a wide variety of other topics that affect well control. Presentations that pose provocative questions and prompt discussion are especially welcome. Presentations on the following topics are welcomed: • Case Histories • Oil Versus Gas Well Control • Emergency Preparedness • Deepwater and Ultra Deepwater Well Control • Well Design and Construction • Surface BOP Operations • Management Systems • Shallow Gas • Standard Operating Procedures • Diagnostic Logging Operations • Remote Monitoring • Underbalanced Operations and Managed • Training and Human Factors Pressure Drilling • Well Control Competencies • ERD/Directional Drilling, Multi-Laterals and Coal • Automated Well Control Seam Development • Regulatory Issues • Unconventional Situations, Casing Drilling, Monobores, etc. Authors are invited to submit proposals for presentations at the conference. For consideration, an abstract for each proposed paper must be submitted to IADC no later than 1st of May 2014. Authors of papers selected will receive confirmation letters and guidelines by begin June 2014. Please note that formal papers are encouraged, but are NOT required for this conference. Authors of selected presentations may be asked to participate in panel sessions, rather than regular technical sessions. Prior to paper proposal submission, management clearance must be obtained. Any issues concerning clearance should be outlined when the paper proposal is submitted. We look forward to your participation and hope to see you at this important event!

UBD continues to maximize reservoir performance, while MPD techniques spanning onshore performance drilling and offshore deep and shallow water prospects serve to enhance drilling safety and minimize NPT. Once considered a futuristic tech- nology, DGD is now a reality with numerous wells drilled, and many exciting prospects on the horizon. New applications of these drilling practices take place every year, and their frequency continues to grow.
