IOR+ 2023
On behalf of EAGE and the IOR+ Scientific Committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 22nd European IOR+ Symposium, taking place on 2-4 October 2023 in the Hague.
You probably noticed that our icon/acronym has been extended to include the addition operator. This extension represents the transitions happening in the energy landscape as also reflected in the conference theme: “Innovative and Optimised Resource Utilisation”.

As usual, the conference will provide updates and results from the latest research into IOR/EOR technologies together with assessments of recent pilots and field scale deployment of IOR/EOR, showcasing the successes, technical challenges and new technologies deployed. The focus will be on extending the reach of EOR while reducing the carbon footprint of hydrocarbon recovery.
In addition, the conference will cover (re)emerging applications where IOR/EOR experience and knowledge is essential. The applications cover Carbon Capture (Utilisation) and Storage (CC(U)S) in its widest sense, hydrogen storage, and geothermal. Also included are several extended keynote presentations from global experts on topical themes.
This conference provides a meeting place for engineers, academics, scientists, and students to present recent advances and brainstorm new ideas to improve resource utilisation in the future, whilst mitigating carbon emissions. Attendance is recommended to professionals in industry as well as academics and new researchers who are interested in maximising economic subsurface resource utilisation while minimising carbon footprint. The breadth of material covered will give an overview of the current trends and potentials, as well as an improved scientific understanding of techniques deployed.
