Abstract
A World Petroleum Congress, organised by the Institution of Petroleum Technologists, is to be held in London on July 19–25. Membership is open to all persons connected with, and interested in, the petroleum industry, at a nominal fee of 10s. It is proposed to hold the sessions of the Congress at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, South Kensington, and the scope of activities on this occasion includes the reading of various technical papers, a private view of the International Oil Industry's Exhibition, exhibition of films illustrating the petroleum industry and sundry social arrangements. Foreign delegates from all important oil-producing countries are being invited and the Congress will offer an excellent opportunity for the interchange of ideas, both technical and economical. Broadly speaking, the technical programme will embrace four main sections of the industry, geological, engineering, refining and chemical, and standardisation. From the preliminary announcements available, it would seem that this Congress, by its purpose and very wide appeal, will be one of the most important international functions affecting the petroleum industry which has been held for many years, and it is a matter of gratification that, on this occasion, it has both a British sponsorship and setting.
