Call for Abstracts
The Executive Committee of the SPWLA FT SIG would like to invite you to its 2024 annual Conference. The conference will take place on Sep 19th at BP Helius Plaza Auditorium in Houston, Texas featuring a day of talks and discussions related to the formation testing discipline. The event provides an opportunity to showcase recent advancements in the field and to connect or reconnect with individuals who share the similar interests in formation testing.
The program will be comprised of presentations solicited by the review panel. Abstracts are welcome to be submitted by email to: [email protected]. Please choose the category of your abstract from the ones below and specify during submission. There will be no paper publication in OnePetro, hence manuscript submission is not required after an abstract has been approved by the panel.
We request that abstracts are limited to a 400-word maximum. Abstracts selected for oral presentation will have up to 20 minutes presentation time, immediately followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion.
Abstract Submission Deadline Extended: July 28th, 2024
The list of abstract categories for the conference includes:
- Going Beyond Traditional Testing
- Formation Testing in Tight and Unconventional Reservoirs
- Role of Machine Learning and Digitalization in FT
- Role of Formation Testing in the Energy Transition
- Fluid Sampling and Characterization
- Integration of FT into Formation Evaluation
More information on the conference and registration will be shared in the upcoming weeks.
