The 22nd International Symposium of the Society of Core Analysts

Abu Dhabi, U.A.E, 29th October to 2nd November 2008

Symposium Theme:
“Challenges in Carbonates and Solutions for Field Development”

The conference will consist of a 1 day workshop on Oct 29th followed by 3 days of technical sessions (including both oral and poster presentations) on Oct 30th, 1st and 2nd Nov. There will be no technical sessions on Fri Oct 31st when optional visits and sightseeing will be arranged.

As the abstract submission deadline was extended authors will now be notified if the abstract is to be accepted by first week in April 2008.

The SCA Technical Committee invites abstract submission for oral presentations and posters for the following proposed sessions:

Case Studies – applied core analysis, integrated studies
Improved SCAL Techniques and Interpretation
Wettability - Determination/Restoration – Practices and Recommendations
Displacement Mechanisms - understanding the key reservoir processes
Reservoir Characterization -including sample characterization and selection, scale of measurement, optimizing test design in carbonates
Pore Scale Imaging and Modelling
SCAL aiding the understanding of IOR/EOR and injection processes
Other. (If your paper does not fit directly into any of the above then please suggest an alternative topic/theme)

ABSTRACTS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 15th FEBRUARY 2008. ONLY ABSTRACTS SUBMITTED USING THIS ELECTRONIC FORM WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THE CONFERENCE.
