The Rio Oil & Gas Conference 2008 will be held at Riocentro’s Pavilion 5 in Rio de Janeiro, from September 15 to 18, in conjunction with the Exposition. This major forum in the oil industry, organized every two years, attracts professionals and executives in their search for new technologies and management practices in the oil and gas area. The Conference program will include technical sessions (oral/poster), panels and plenary sessions. We invite those interested in submitting original papers to observe the deadlines and subject matters proposed.
