ISOPE Frontier Energy Resources Symposium (FER)

First CALL FOR PAPERS at The 18th International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference
ISOPE Frontier Energy Resources Symposium (FER-2008) will focus on the range of alternative energy sources other than conventional fossil fuels such as oil and gas. These alternative sources are receiving a great deal of attention, span a wide range of origin and, like fossil fuels are also not evenly distributed around the world.
The purpose of this symposium is to provide a timely forum to provide the state-of-the-art knowledge in the business outlook and technology in the development of these resources. The symposium, the first of its kind in ISOPE, is envisioned to consist of prominent speakers who are leading authorities in the respective fields to discuss the status, issues and challenges in the various types of Frontier Energy Resources.

Suggested Topics:
• Oil Sands / Heavy Oil
• Oil Shale
• Tight Gas
• Coal (liquefaction/gasification)
• Gas Hydrates
• Coal Bed Methane
• Bio Fuels
• Geothermal
