Poster Solicitation & Information


All attendees are encouraged to prepare a poster for the Workshop. Presentations on both research and field experience are welcomed. Posters, including
unconfirmed/partial results, are to be presented at an assigned time and are open for discussion. Posters will be on display for the entire Workshop period.

When preparing your poster:


Avoid commercialism. No mention of trademarks/product name
Poster size should be approximately 0.8m x 1.2m (W x H) or size A0 in portrait layout
Identify topic by title, affiliation, address, and phone number
Include a brief abstract that summarises the technology to be addressed
Make the display as self-explanatory as possible
Place the information in sequence: beginning with the main idea or problem, method used, results, etc. (Draw a plan keeping the size and number of
illustrations in mind)
Keep illustrations simple by using charts, graphs, drawings, and pictures to create interest and visually explain a point
Use contrasting colours
Use large print for narrative materials. (We suggest a minimum of 24 points or 3 high letters for the title)

Note that the Workshop Programme Committee will review all poster abstracts/materials prior to display, and reserves the right to refuse permission to display
any poster considered to be commercial in nature.

If you are interested to participate, please email your proposed topic with a short abstract (between 200-300 words) to SPE Event Coordinator, Ruth Dass at
rsdass@spe.org by 19 September 2016.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organisation. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other
Society programmes. When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and
professional competence. Scholarships, certification, the Distinguished Lecturer programmes, and SPEs energy education programmes Energy4me are just
