General Information

About Biarritz The city of Biarritz lies on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast, in south-western France.

It is a luxurious seaside town and is popular with tourists and surfers. Biarritz is famous for its coast and its rocky seas. The town is only 18 km from the Spanish border.

Venue ECMOR XIII will be held in Le Casino Municipal, Biarritz. The venue offers a beautiful view of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

Invitation

On behalf of EAGE and the ECMOR scientific committee, we are pleased to invite you to the 13th European Conference on the Mathematics of Oil Recovery – ECMOR XIII. The conference will be held from 10-13 September 2012 in Le Casino Municipal in Biarritz. This cosmopolitan city is located in the south west of France along the Atlantic coast, with beautiful views of the Pyrenees.

Following the 20-year tradition of ECMOR conferences held every two years, the 2012 ECMOR XIII conference will again provide insights into the latest advances in the mathematics of oil recovery and offer engineers and researchers key tools to meet the current and coming challenges of developing innovative technologies that will extend oil and gas reserves, increase production, but also respect the environment.

Thanks to a record number of submissions both from industry and academia, a high-quality programme has been prepared. It combines theory and practice, as well as modelling, data integration, and optimization issues where numerical simulations as always play a central role. Advanced discretization and computational methods on the one hand, and history matching and recovery optimization on the other hand, are key topics in oil recovery. This year there will be special emphasis on fractured reservoirs, enhanced oil recovery, CO2 sequestration, and high performance computing.

Delegates will have the opportunity to learn about the new developments in a friendly and stimulating atmosphere, network and confront colleagues with new ideas, as well as to enjoy both the social programme and the beautiful environment of Biarritz known for its impressive cliffs and rollers breaking against rocks and reefs, its superb bathing beaches and its typical Basque culture, architecture and tasty food as the pearl of the Basque Coast.

Looking forward to seeing you in Biarritz!

Conference dinnerWednesday 12 September, 18:00 - 22:30 hrsConference dinner in the typical Basque cidrerie in the centre of Bayonne offers Basque food and unlimited consumption of cidre, a traditional drink of the Basque people.

Optional field tripFriday 14 SeptemberAn optional field trip will be offered to visit the specific geologic features in the Hendaye and Bidart area which are the turbidite facies in conjunction with outcrops of the Pyrenées formation history and the “Baie de Loya” where the outcrop KT is visible. More information will be available on our website soon.

Family membersAll registered family members have access to the icebreaker reception and conference dinner. A family member tour will also be organized on Monday. An English speaking guide will meet the tour participants at the Casino Municipal at 10:00 hrs. During the guided tour of Biarritz the participants will have the chance to enjoy a piece of pastry and a hot drink at the Miremont tearoom, a famous tearoom of Biarritz which has been a meeting place for royals and other eminent personalities. The tour will be concluded at the renowned Museum of the Sea with more than 150 species of fish and invertebrates in 50 aquariums.

AccommodationAccommodation is not included in the registration fee and is to be secured on participants own discretion.

Optional tourTuesday 11 September, 13:30 - 18:00 hrsAn optional tour with the Petit Train de La Rhune, one of only three cogwheel trains in France, is being offered to conference participants and their family members in the afternoon. Only 10km from Saint Jean de Luz and between the authentic Basque towns of Ascain and Sare, the small mining train of the Rhune takes you to 905m of altitude on the mythic summit of the Basque Country. During the 35 minutes of ascension, you will have the chance to enjoy the surrounding sites as the train takes you through the middle of grazing sheeps and the famous wild Pottok horses of the Basque Country.
