Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The "2010 1st Annual World Congress of Hydraulic Fracturing & Acidizing", with a theme of “Increasing Productivity with Innovative Technologies”, which will be held during August 26-28, 2010 , Xi’an, China. This conference will provide a platform to exchange the most leading hydraulic fracturing and acidizing technology and products for the experts specializing in petroleum. WCHFA also provides an ideal forum for the promotion of relevant companies, products, technologies and services.

The reason to organize such professional event in Xi’an is because the city is turning into the key battlefield of Energy Base and Oil & Gas Production in China. Changqing Oildfiled of CNPC, which is the second largest oilfield in China, is located here. It possesses 8.588 gigaton oil resources and 1.07 gigaton natural gas resources. According to the statistics, by the end of 2009, Changqing Oilfield has completed 6200 hydraulic fracturing layers. And the other one named Yanchang Oilfield is one of the four main oilfields for oil & natural gas E & P in China. Until 2010, the crude oil output is up to 12 megaton. Yanchang Oilfiled Corporation has definitely become No. 1 Local Brand in Chinese oil E & P industry. Every year, Yanchang Oilfield makes more than 10 thousand fractured wells. Therefore, there is a great demand on the highly efficient, productive and cost-effective hydraulic fracturing & acidizing technologies.
Meanwhile, Xi’an Shiyou University is the first university in China for fostering the talents on petroleum technology. People focus eyes on this university for its solid scientific research strength, and the professional top-level scientific research group devoting for the academic exchange and technology promotion.
The conference has broad petroleum industrial support and has the additional goal of enhancing international collaborations and integrating all possible intelligence resources to seek the solutions to the global technology and engineering Challenges of Fossil Energy Sector.

For the three-day meetings, BITeomics plans to:
1. Invite 10-15 Worldwide Distinguished Engineers and Decision Makers as plenary lecturers
2. Arrange panel discussions from 40-50 international Industrial leaders in petroleum hydraulic fracturing and acidizing technology development
3. Organize up to 250+ scientific and technological presentations at the leading edge of the New Technologies and New Materials
4. 100+ Technological Posters and New Product Exhibitions or Business Showcases for partnership or marketing
5. 2 Round Table Discussion with Decision Makers

Besides, Xi’an is a famous historical and cultural city, and named after the most important cradles of Chinese civilization with more than 5000 years of history. It marked the start of the famous "Silk Road" that linked China with central Asia and the Roman Empire. It is also a gathering center of domestic and international oil & natural gas resources.
