Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We are pleased to announce BIT’s 3rd Annual World Congress of Petroleum Microbiology (WCP-2012) which will be held during April 25-27, 2012 in Xi’an, China with the theme “To Establish a Pharmacy for the Earth.” It will be an influential conference covering the revolutionary developments in petroleum microbiology and their implications in oil and gas field exploration, production, bio-processing, environmental bioremediation, and more.

WCP-2012 will bring together industry leaders, professors, policy makers, investors and researchers to provide unique insights into evolving governmental policies, breakthrough technologies and investment strategies in this growing field. This event will focus on the use of renewable sources of energy as well as on co operations between China and the rest of the world through exhibitions and oral presentations by specialists in the field.

Here are just a few of the highlights of the conference:

• 5 parallel conferences occurring at the same time as part of the WORLD DNA and GENOME DAY
• Presentations by Nobel Prize Winners in the fields of biology and chemistry
• Opportunity to discuss the prospects of applying biotechnology in the oil industry with petroleum biology experts
• Industrialization of petromicrobiology projects and other advanced biotechnology projects
