The 24th World Petroleum Congress (WPC) is expected to attract the biggest names in the energy industry to focus on providing a secure, accessible, and affordable energy transition under the theme 'Energy Transition: The Path to Net-Zero'.

The event will take place in Calgary, Canada from September 17-21 and it is anticipated to draw 15,000 visitors, 5,000 delegates, more than 200 national and international exhibitors, and 100 countries.

The strategic programme includes high-level sessions led by government ministers, CEOs, and other industry leaders from around the world, analysing and discussing the transformation of the industry and the developing global and regional demands.

The Congress’s technical forums bring together the rest of the energy industry to discover global market trends, investment opportunities, technology advancements, process integrations and optimisations; helping businesses navigate the energy transition.

The diverse cross section of sponsors supporting the 24th Congress, includes global and domestic energy leaders and supporting companies and government partners, demonstrating the strong interest in the Congress as industry and governments seek to establish a path to net-zero.

Confirmed sponsors include Accenture, QatarEnergy, Repsol, Cenovus Energy, Suncor Energy, Pathways Alliance, BP, Chevron, Petrobras, Bennett Jones, Hatch, MEG Energy, Shell Canada, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and Stikeman Elliott.

OCAN recognises the Government of Canada’s agency, PrairiesCan, for critical funding support in addition to a material partnership with the Government of Alberta.

Richard Masson, Chairman WPC Canada, said: “We greatly value the significant support and encouragement we have received from our diverse group of corporate sponsors across the energy sector and supporting fields as well as from our government partners representing all three levels of government. The coming Congress is the platform to discuss pressing issues facing industry and society, and with the support of our sponsors and government partners, we are confident that the Congress will generate innovative and insightful solutions as we seek to transition to net zero.”

Authors can share their insights through presented papers, or as posters found in the digital poster plaza on the exhibition floor. The recently completed global call for technical papers received nearly 1,300 abstracts for 17 forums from over 50 countries, demonstrating the strong interest in the Congress theme and ensuring the Congress will deliver a high-quality technical programme focused on innovation to meet the world’s collective energy challenges.
