3rd Global Well Cem Conference on Well Cements: Production and Performance
Location and dates to be announced

Join Global Cement's Well Cem group on LinkedIn
Well cements, including oil, gas, unconventional gas and geothermal well cements, are in greater demand now than ever before. Even countries without oil and conventional gas resources are now looking at the possibility of producing gas from unconventional source rock and are rapidly going to have to source well cements, either through home production or through more expensive imports. Shale gas projects are spreading out worldwide from the US, and even Saudi Arabia is set to investigate its shale gas resources.
According to the Journal of Petroleum Technology, 'Developing shale or tight reservoirs requires drilling tens of thousands of well per play, rather than the hundreds required to develop conventional reservoirs.' All those wells will need cement - leading to a huge boom in demand for oil well cement around the world.
The 3rd Global WellCem Conference and Exhibition will bring together experts in the production of well cements from all over the world, to meet with well cement users and others interested in well cement production and performance. As with all of Global Cement's events, networking opportunities will be world-class.
If well cements are part of your business - anywhere in the world - then you should make it your business to be at Global WellCem Conference!
