2015 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS SPWLA 56th Annual Logging Symposium
Don't Miss our Abstract Due Date of October 26, 2014
Long Beach, CA - July 18-22, 2015
The 2015 international symposium will be held in Long Beach, California. With a current emphasis on the evaluation and development of unconventional reservoirs, and a long history of oil, gas and geothermal energy production, petrophysics in California encompasses a wide range of topics that are reflected in the theme of this conference: "The Role of Petrophysics: From Exploration Through Abandonment".
The SPWLA Board of Directors invites you to join us in Long Beach, California, USA, July 18-22, 2015 to showcase your recent innovations and discoveries at the 56th Annual Symposium. We solicit papers on all aspects of formation evaluation.
° Formation Evaluation of Conventional Reservoirs; New technologies and case histories in shaly sands, carbonates, and low-resistivity pay.
° Formation Evaluation of Unconventional Reservoirs; New technologies and case histories in organic-rich mudstones, tight gas/oil, and coal bed methane.
° New Borehole Logging Technology; Resistivity, nuclear, sonic, magnetic resonance, pressure/sampling, mud logging, imaging tool design and advancements in acquisition, processing, and data interpretation.
° High Angle/Horizontal Well Evaluation and/or Advanced Mud Logging and Real-Time Decision Making; Case histories, well placement, safety in over-pressured zones, drilling and completion optimization, wellbore stability and other well safety issues, and related new technology.
° Reservoir and Production Surveillance; Production logging, cement integrity, EOR, formation evaluation, and new technologies.
° Carbonate Reservoirs Case Studies; Application of new and existing petrophysical techniques to solve the unique challenges in carbonate reservoirs. Carbonate reservoir rock typing, surveillance, low-resistivity pay in carbonates, estimation of remaining oil saturation (ROS), and emerging technologies with emphasis on case histories.
Of particular interest are papers relevant to California, including: Monterey Shale potential and challenges, diatomite reservoir development case studies, reservoir monitoring of enhanced recovery processes, geothermal reservoir characterization and case studies integrating ancient and modern log data.
Abstracts must be submitted no later than Sunday, October 26, 2014 through online submission at
http://www.spwla.org/abstracts/submit_form.php. The information contained in your abstract is the basis for the acceptance of your paper into the technical program. Your abstract should contain 200-500 words. Do not feel obligated to use the full-allotted length. Relevance, novelty and clarity are what our members look for at our symposia.
Notification of acceptance of either oral or poster papers will be made in December 2014. If accepted, your abstract will be published in the April 2015 issue of Petrophysics. The paper will be scheduled for presentation at the Long Beach Symposium, and a complete manuscript from both oral and poster will be required for the Transactions by June 1,2015. Before submitting you must agree to meet all deadlines and that extensions are not guaranteed. For questions, please contact Sharon Johnson at SPWLA, (+1) 713-947-8727 or email sharon@spwla.org.
NOTE TO AUTHORS: Complete a separate online form for each abstract submitted. For multiple authors, the submission should come only from the designated corresponding author.
