Step 1: Conference Information

The SPWLA 51st Annual Symposium papers will be published on a CD-ROM from your original file. You will not be permitted to give a presentation at the Symposium unless your paper has been submitted for publication in the Transactions Volume.

To ensure that your work is included in the proceedings, please submit your material, following the specifications below, by April 21st, 2010. It is strongly recommended (and much appreciated) that you submit your material well before the deadline!

If, for any reason, you are unable to complete your paper within the deadline, please inform Sharon Johnson at the SPWLA business office (+1-713-947-8727, FAX +1-713- 947-7181 as soon as possible. Papers not received by April 21st will be replaced with an alternate and deleted from the program. Papers cannot be withdrawn after the April 21st deadline.

Step 2: Formatting Guidelines


 

  • All papers must be submitted as PDF files, compatible with Adobe Acrobat reader. Please do not use Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or higher to create the files, as we have experienced difficulties with this version.
  • Papers must be formatted for US "letter" size paper (8.5 by 11 inches). Please set the page size to "letter" if that is not the default for your program. Papers formatted for A4 paper size will be returned to the author for reformatting.
  • Papers are limited to 16 pages in length, including all text, figures, tables, and references.
  • You should make every effort to avoid commercialism in your paper. The objective should be to inform the reader rather than to promote a specific service.
  • Please refer to the Instructions for Paper/Manuscript Preparation that you received with your acceptance letter. Click here if you would like to download a copy.
  • A Microsoft Word template is available for your use if you would like. Click here to download it.
