Information for Authors
- Final selection of papers will be determined by the OGMT Advisory Board. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of abstract submitted. The papers should be in English, completely original, and address maintenance issues as outlined in the conference focus areas. Papers and presentations should avoid any commercialism.
- The following criteria will be observed by the Conference Advisory Board in the selection of papers:
- The paper should be of interest for oil and gas personnel involved in maintenance or operations
- The paper should emphasize innovative technologies including analysis and research
- The paper should address case studies and/or technical interest for the indicated topics
- Twenty-minutes are programmed to present a paper (presentation in English). A ten-minute discussion will follow each presentation.
- Authors of papers selected for the OGMT program will be notified by the end of September 2008.
- A manuscript and technical presentation will be required for each paper selected. Manuscripts shall be provided with the text on a CD-ROM or by email in MS Word format. Copyright of papers and presentations belongs to PennWell.
- Maximum length of paper shall be 15 typewritten pages, including references. Bibliography tables should not exceed 6 pages. Photographs should be sent as black and white prints.
