Formation Testing SIG (FTSIG) was established in December 2010 to advance formation pressure and sampling knowledge

Our annual technical meeting was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The FT SIG steering committee team recognized the importance of staying connected and share the great work done by our colleges.
We decided to have a series of the webinars to replace this year annual meeting, the agenda for the webinars is below.
Webinars are free for SPWLA members, a small fee is charged to others.

The SIG plans to host one meeting per year on
various topics pertaining to formation testing.
Some general SIG activities anticipated:
- SIG related meetings, workshops, short courses, and sessions at general/annual meetings
- Maintain contacts with other professional societies that are also concerned with formation testing
- Web-based information exchange, perhaps including posting of papers, experts list, question area
- Provide leadership for technical standardization activities or QA/QC related with pressure measurements or fluid sample acquisition
