The IOR Current O&G Activities, Plays, and Historical PerspectivesConference started in 1969 as the Improved Oil Recovery Symposium, later known as the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Symposium. From 1980 through 2010, the meetings were jointly sponsored with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The Conference attracts hundreds of members and exhibitors to the Plenary Session, Technical Sessions, Short Courses, and Exhibition. We are very proud of the professional organization and great volunteer effort of our IOR Planning Committee and Technical Program Committee.

The 2024 SPE IOR Conference has concluded.
