2 Who should attend The conference will benefit anyone engaged in the application, development and research of multiphase technology for the oil and gas industry. The Conference will also be of interest to designers and engineers from other industries where multiphase technology is required. The conference will also be of particular value to designers, facility and operations engineers, consultants and researchers from operating, contracting, consultancy and technology companies. Scope Papers are invited on current design and operating techniques and new developments under the following topics. Priority will be given to papers that discuss field applications and experiences. Applications Technologies Case histories with lessons learnt Terrain effects in pipeline operations Environment - deep & ultradeep waters; cold environment; subsea long distance tiebacks; oil sands; sand & particle transport; downhole & seabed processing; wet vs. dry wells Flows - flow assurance; flowlines & risers; vertical flows; heavy oil; rheology/complex fluids; bundles/heating systems; slug management & control; turbulence & wave motion; thermal remediation Application of flow modelling - field validation; modelling in intelligent wells; multi-dimensional modelling; new applications. Product formulations - emulsions, foams & slurries; hydrates, asphaltenes & waxes; sand & scale Equipment - integrated production systems; multiphase pumping & boosting; separation & separator vessels; multiphase metering; instrumentation & control; raw water reinjection; subsea equipment; pigging Flow simulation - modelling studies; experimental data scale-up Pipeline protection - corrosion & erosion; leak detection in multiphase systems.

3 Exhibition There will be an exhibition alongside the Conference. Exhibition stands will be limited and prospective exhibitors are strongly advised to register their interest with the organisers at the earliest opportunity. Each exhibitor will be offered a fiveminute presentation to the conference delegates. Venue - Banff, Canada The 9th North American Multiphase Technology Conference will be held in the Banff Park Lodge, Canada. The town of Banff is in Banff National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a protected natural environment, unparalleled scenery and abundant wildlife.

5 BHR Group s Multiphase Technology Conference is the premier international event providing delegates with the opportunities to discuss new research and developments, to consider innovative solutions and to explore technology transfer between industries. Its technical quality makes this event an essential diary date for designers, engineers and engineering decision makers concerned with any aspect of multiphase technology. BHR Group has been running Multiphase conferences since 1983 and has been integral to the development and dissemination of the technology from its early beginnings to its current maturity where it now offers a practical technological solution for many production, transportation and flow assurance requirements. The developments, which have taken place in the oil and gas industry using multiphase solutions, have enabled the industry to improve production performance, extend its operations and address previously difficult engineering requirements in an economically viable and environmentally acceptable manner. About BHR Group BHR Group is an independent technology organisation providing engineering consultancy, industrial research and product development services based on its core expertise in fluids engineering. We apply our knowhow to develop or improve innovative designs, processes and products for customers across many industrial sectors around the world. We grew out of the BHRA (British Hydromechanics Research Association), one of the founding Research Associations established by the UK government in the 1940 s. We are now a privately owned company and seek to leverage our extensive technology base through effective strategic partnerships, to broaden market presence and enhance our core technologies. Our Vision is to be the global leader in fluid engineering research and consultancy in our targeted markets.
