The theme of the forum was "Youth and Innovation-The Future of the Petroleum Industry". WPC president Eivald M.Q.R?ren pointed out in his opening speech: "It is one of the development strategies of WPC to enhance its attraction and particularly, to attract participation of youth and females. The reason is straightforward: to rejuvenate the oil and gas industry and to improve the innovation ability of the petroleum industry on the strength of science and technology". The Youth Forum is the first campaign focusing on young people in the 71- year history of WPC and is a groundbreaking activity of strategic significance. Participating representatives conducted profound and in-depth academic exchange. At the plenary meeting, 8 experts and senior executives delivered thought provoking speeches. Six group meetings focused on petroleum prospecting and development, petroleum refining and petrochemicals, the development of the alternatives for petroleum energy, the petroleum industry versus environmental and social responsibility, application of IT and other new technologies in the petroleum industry, as well as the role of management, H.R. and young people. Innovation achievements of young scholars in the field of petroleum technology and management were demonstrated here. In the technical sessions and academic exchanges, 52 outstanding young professionals aged below 35, presented their papers. In additions, 183 papers from young professionals were exhibited and discussed.展开更多

It markedthe first time that the Congress was ever held on the African continentover the 72 years since it was established. Given the increasingworldwide concern over the amount of the oil and gas resourceavailable for consumption, plus the impressive petroleum developmentin Africa over recent years, coupled with the huge potential there, thisdoes catapult Africa to the status of a potential new source of oil andgas for the entire world. The Congress was held in Africa specificallyfor the purpose of promoting the local petroleum development andexpanding the source of oil and gas supply for the world.Given the increasing concern for the balance between oil demandand supply, triggered by the continuing oil price spike in the globalmarket, this Congress is closely watched by the global oil and energycommunities. More than 4000 insiders, high-ranking governmentalofficials, experts and scholars from the world over, looked ahead forthe trends of development of the global petroleum sector and market,and explored new ways for worldwide sustainable energy development,and probe into a host of issues covering petroleum exploration anddevelopment, oil refining, petrochemical, natural gas, renewableenergies and oil industry management.This world conference was designed as petroleum-relatedacademic communications, the extent and content of which have lefta deep impression upon those present there. The major views regardingpetroleum development in the future might be summarized in thefollowing seven points: the petroleum sector needs to focus on a highoil price as the basis for decision-making; petroleum and natural gasare still leading in non-renewable resources; technical progressprovides the essential guarantee for the sustainable petroleumdevelopment; a balance in oil and gas demand and supply cannot beachieved without global cooperation; increasing efforts ought to bedevoted to the research upon and development of renewable energy;petroleum development requires social responsibility; youth representsthe future of the petroleum industry.Despite increasing concern over petroleum depletion, theCongress reconfirmed the unshakeable position of petroleum in theenergy sector. The robust economic development worldwide, coupledwith the increasing demand for energy, further revealed the hugepotential for the development of renewable resources. Given suchcircumstances, it has emerged as a prevailing trend, for oil companiesto convert themselves to energy ones, and to better shoulder theircorporate citizenship. They realize, sustainable development hasbeen refocused as the shared development objective of the oil companiesworldwide. In responding to the increasingly important position ofAfrica in the global energy landscape, many countries are increasingtheir cooperation with their African counterparts in this field. All theabove is not only a message delivered by the 18th World PetroleumCongress, but it is also something well worth considering for theChinese petroleum sector.展开更多
