Call for Papers on CO2 Management
SPE Economics & Management

Are you involved in, or conducting research in, CO2 management? As one of the most important challenges facing the upstream industry today, this topic will be the subject of a dedicated issue of SPE's newest quarterly online journal slated for July of 2011. SPE Economics & Management wants your papers about the practice, policy, and strategy of managing CO2. Papers could address, for example, management systems developed to achieve emissions reductions, efficiency initiatives designed to reduce CO2 emissions, development of R&D portfolios targeted at delivering relevant technologies, and deployment of emissions reduction technologies, such as carbon capture and sequestration. Reduction and management strategies are increasingly important as resource awareness, and environmental responsibility, continue to shape the advances of the E&P industry. Share your successes, innovations, and research as we explore the methods of reducing our industry’s carbon footprint in this special issue of SPE Economics & Management.

Papers exploring these topics should be submitted to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/speem. More information about the journal can be found at http://www.spe.org/papers/pubs/EMjournal.php.

Have a more technical paper about CO2 capture or sequestration? Consider submitting it to one of SPE's other journals. For more information visit http://www.spe.org/papers/pubs/coverage.php.
