TULSA, Okla., March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The 19^th International Conference on Petroleum Data Integration, Information and Data Management is an annual conference and exhibition serving the data integration, information and management disciplines critical to exploration and production within the global oil and gas industry. Founded in 1997 and held annually since then, the Petroleum Network Education Conferences (PNEC) brings together geologists, geophysicists, engineers, technicians, programmers, analysts and other professionals involved in data and information management. The 19^th annual PNEC will be held May 19-21, 2015, at the Houston Marriott Westchase Hotel in Houston, Texas.

This conference, strongly supported by international oil companies, independents and state-owned companies, will see presentations by the following companies (current as of 3-27-15 subject to change): Hess; Noble Energy; Petronas; Total; BHP Billiton; Addax Petroleum; ConocoPhillips; Shell; eni petroleum; PEMEX; Kuwait Oil Company; Chevron; BP; and Saudi Aramco. The power-packed two and ½ days of technical program will feature in-depth technical presentations, a panel discussion and full e-Proceedings on topics important to all involved in E&P data and information management. The exhibit hall will feature exhibitors from leading technology companies. Our speakers from around the globe will share real-world issues, best practices, developments, and cross discipline advances that address ever expanding and complex data demands in today's oil and gas industry. Changes in key technologies require innovative thinking and practical solutions to implement quality data-driven decisions that meet enterprise-wide technical and financial interests when millions of invested dollars are at risk.

The conference is acclaimed for handling the discussion with balance.

Mark Peters, vice president and group publisher of PennWell's Offshore and Oil & Gas Financial Journal magazines and the Company's domestic oil and gas events, said, "PNEC facilitates the professional discussions needed in today's complex data systems integration and management. There is no industry more reliant on accurate, comprehensive, and well-managed data than oil and gas, for which informed decision-making is paramount when billions of investment dollars are at risk. This is the largest gathering of data management professionals from oil and gas companies in the world. As business plans continue to emphasize the proper integration of operations, seismic data and more information on production throughout the value chains at oil companies it is a vital resource for the industry."

The 2014 event, the first under PennWell management, attracted a record number of 724 attendees from 34 countries.

PennWell's portfolio of conferences and exhibitions also includes Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition, Deepwater Operations Forum & Exhibition, Topsides, Platforms & Hulls Forum & Exhibition, Pipeline Week, Deep Offshore Technology (DOT), and Offshore West Africa.
