Workshop Format
Emerging Technology Workshops are designed to expedite the adoption of a newly established technology by publicizing its pilot applications as they move from research to implementation. Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. The majority of the presentations are in the form of case studies highlighting achievements and lessons learned in the development and application of LWD sonic tools. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and the press is not invited to attend.
Documentation
Proceedings from the workshop will not be published; therefore, formal papers and handouts are not requested of speakers or panel members. Note-taking by individual attendees is encouraged, but should be limited to ensure participation in the open discussions. A URL containing released copies of the workshop presentations will be available to attendees several weeks after the workshop. This documentation will not be prepared in the form of formal SPE papers.
Commercialism
In keeping consistent with workshop objectives and SPE guidelines, excessive commercialism in presentations will not be permitted. Use of company logo must be limited to the title slide and only used to indicate the affiliation of the presenter and others involved in the work.
Continuing Education Units
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), through SPE Professional Development, will award Continuing Education Units (CEU) for participation and completion of SPE short courses, distance learning programs, workshops, and sanctioned learning activities. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation in SPE continuing education activities. A permanent record of a participant’s involvement and awarding of CEU will be maintained by SPE. SPE will provide a copy of the participant’s record upon request at www.spe.org.
Attendees will receive 1.6 Continuing Education Credits.
