TECHNICAL CATEGORIES
Use the technical categories included in this leaflet to indicate the category that best describes your abstract. A primary choice is required; however, a secondary choice is optional. Abstracts are evaluated on the basis of the information supplied on the abstract form in accordance with the following criteria: 1. The proposed paper or poster must contribute to petroleum technology or be of immediate interest to the oil and gas industry, and should contain significant new knowledge or experience in the oil and gas industry. 2. Data in the abstract must be technically correct. 3. The proposed paper or poster may present information about equipment and tools to be used in exploration and production. Such abstracts must show the definite applications and limitations of such equipment and should avoid undue commercialism and extensive use of trade names. 4. The substance of the proposed paper or poster must not have been published previously in trade journals or in other professional or technical journals. 5. Prior to abstract submission, clearance must be obtained. Any problems concerning clearance should be outlined when the abstract is submitted.

ABSTRACT CONTENT
A proper review of your abstract requires that it contain adequate information on which to make a judgement. Written in English and containing a maximum of 300 words, abstracts should include the following: DESCRIPTION: Summarise the scope and nature of the work upon which an accepted paper will be based upon (e.g. field data, lab data, original analysis, or computer work). If the paper is a review paper, carefully state the extent of the coverage. APPLICATIONS: Describe the possible applications of the information provided in the paper or poster.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Summarise the results and major conclusions to be presented in the paper/poster and state specific conclusions of the work and how these differ from previous work on the same subject. State whether new information will be revealed and whether data from field, lab, or computer work will be included.

IPTC Sponsorship and Exhibitor Opportunities Available. For more information, visit www.iptcnet.org/2014/doha or contact Sylvia Ansara at sansara@iptcnet.org.

SPONSORING SOCIETIES
The International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) is an international oil and gas conference and exhibition. The event is to rotate in various venues in the Eastern Hemisphere. The scope of the conference programme and associated industry activities will address technology and relevant industry issues that challenge industry specialists and management around the world, particularly in the gas business and certain overarching issues such as HSE, Security, HR and training. IPTC is a collaborative event between the following societies:
The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), founded in 1917, has been a pillar of the world-wide scientific community. The original purpose of AAPG, to foster scientific research, to advance the science of geology, to promote technology, and to inspire high professional conduct, still guides the Association today. Currently the worlds largest professional geological society with over 35,000 members, AAPG provides publications, conferences, and educational opportunities to geoscientists and disseminates the most current geological information available to the general public. For more information visit the AAPG website www.aapg.org. The European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE) is a professional society with a worldwide membership of more than 15,000 members providing a global network of commercial and academic professionals to all members. The association is truly multi-disciplinary and international in form and pursuits. The objective is to promote the development and application of geosciences and related engineering subjects and this is achieved through publications, conferences, workshops, education programmes and exhibitions. EAGE has offices in Europe, Russia and the Middle East. For more information visit the EAGE website at www.eage.org. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) is the worlds leading geosciences society with more than 33,000 members in 138 countries across the globe. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists provides its members with the resources and tools they need for a successful professional career, and serves the geosciences community with timely events, helpful information and networking. Together, we transform our passion into advancing geophysics today and inspiring geoscientists for tomorrow. For more information visit the SEG website at www.seg.org.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit professional association whose members are engaged in energy resources development and production. SPE serves more than 104,000 members in 123 countries worldwide. SPE is a key resource for technical knowledge related to the oil and gas exploration and production industry and provides services through its publications, events, training courses, and online resources at www.spe.org.
