CALL FOR PAPERS
Potential authors are invited to submit a
minimum 300 maximum 500 word abstract on
a topic related to any aspect of acid gas inject-
ion, including carbon capture and storage
(CCS), and enhanced recovery EOR.
We are looking for topics related to both
surface operations and subsurface phenomena.
Abstracts should be submitted in Word format
(either 2007 or 97-2003 versions) or RTF
format (must be readable with Word 2007).
Papers will be reformatted slightly such that
they have a uniform appearance and will be
sent to experts for their feedback.
The inclusion of a single graph or table in the
abstract may improves its clarity and is
encouraged. Also please feel free to use color
if it improves your abstract.
Upon acceptance of their papers authors are to
submit a paper, the format will be communi-
cated with the authors at a later date. However
the authors will be given significant liberties
to format their papers in such a way as to
present themselves in the best manner. The
use of color and photographs is encouraged.
The paper will be included in the proceedings,
which will be given to all attendees.
Timetable
Abstracts due: 15 June 2009
We encourage early submission of abstracts!
