Call for Abstracts - Symposium 2008

The 23nd International Symposium of the Society of Core Analysts

Noordwijk aan Zee, Netherlands, 27th to 30th September 2009

Symposium Theme:
“Improved Core Analysis for Unconventional Fields”

The conference will be held at the Hotels van Oranje, Noordwijk (http://www.hotelsvanoranje.com) consisting of a workshop and 3 days of technical sessions (including both oral and poster presentations). The theme of the workshop will consider coupled subsurface processes (THMC, HMC, etc.), the title to be confirmed at a later date.

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

Case Studies – in particular integrated studies applying core analysis to reservoir engineering and improved field understanding
Improved SCAL Techniques and Interpretation
Wettability - Determination/Restoration – Practices and Recommendations
Displacement Mechanisms - understanding the key reservoir processes
Reservoir Characterization (Rock and Fluids) - including sample characterization and selection, scale of measurement, optimizing test design
Pore Scale Imaging and Modelling
Improved/Enhanced Oil Recovery and injection processes
Sequestration – CO2, H2S, etc.
Other. (If your paper does not fit directly into any of the above then please suggest an alternative topic/theme)

==> ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS CLOSED <==

ABSTRACTS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 15th FEBRUARY 2009. ONLY ABSTRACTS SUBMITTED USING THIS ELECTRONIC FORM WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THE CONFERENCE.

(Authors will be notified of acceptance by the end of February 2009)

If you require any further information regarding the proposed technical topics/themes contact Jules Reed (SCA VP Technology) at jules.reed@weatherfordlabs.com.

Call for Abstracts Submission Form

The form should be fully completed for each abstract submitted for consideration. The Technical Committee will review all abstracts. For accepted abstracts (oral or poster presentations) a complete manuscript will be required by 8th May 2009. The manuscripts will then be reviewed by the Technical Committee. Authors should note that acceptance of the abstract does not automatically guarantee acceptance of the final manuscript, this will only be confirmed after the completed manuscript has been reviewed by the Technical Committee.

Abstract content: (2)
note: you can copy & paste your abstract from your favorite word processor

(1) Papers previously presented will only be considered if they are of exceptional interest and when there would be no infringement of existing copyright.

(2) The length of the abstract should be between 200 and 400 words. The abstract should be intelligible in its own right, and the use of equations trademarks, literature references, and supplementary text should be avoided.
