World Heavy
Oil Congress
The World Heavy Oil Congress is the world’s leading unconventional oil conference and
exhibition, attracting over 130 speakers, 75 exhibiting companies, and 2,000 registered visitors.
This world-class conference contains three days of networking and social programs, during
which participants will enjoy unparalleled opportunities to meet with the entire global supply
chain of the unconventional oil industry. Over the past years, this World Heavy Oil Congress
has been held in Beijing, China and Edmonton, Alberta. This year, the delegates will assemble
in Venezuela — one of the world’s largest heavy oil deposit regions.
• More than 2,000 visitors from 20 countries attended the 2008 Congress, including
900 senior-level delegates who participated in the Conferences.
• Over 130 speakers presented during the Technical and Business Conferences.
• International stakeholders represented producing companies or governments from
Brazil, China, Canada, India, Norway, USA, and Venezuela, among others.
Why Venezuela?
Angel Falls
There are currently well over 25 producing companies from almost as many nations currently
operating in Venezuela’s Orinoco basin. Latin America’s energy hub, Venezuela is home to
proven reserves of 99 billion barrels of oil and the second largest deposit of heavy oil in the
world. Served by virtually every North American and European airline, the nation has hosted
numerous high-level OPEC general assemblies and summits. Deeply committed to ensuring the
safest, highest quality experience for delegates, exhibitors, and visitors, Venezuela is also a
beautiful travel destination, featuring the world’s tallest waterfall, the longest stretch of
Caribbean coastline in any one country, and excursions through the varied ecosystem, ranging
from the Andes to the Amazon.
The host city of the 2009 Congress is Puerto Ordaz, a short flight from Caracas. A modern city
of over 700,000, Puerto Ordaz boasts excellent facilities and a remarkable natural landscape. It
is adjacent to the Orinoco Belt, one of the largest hydrocarbon deposit regions in the world.
