SPE/NACE Workshop: Corrosion Management

for Upstream Oil & Gas Production Assets
Why You Should Attend 30 - 31 October 2017 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

30 expert-led technical
discussion topics 20+ hours of knowledge sharing
and technical discussions 10+ hours of peer-to-peer
networking opportunities

Workshop Objectives
This is a first and unique opportunity to leverage the strength and networks of both associations. This workshop serves as an avenue for attendees of
diverse backgrounds to meet and discuss wide-ranging subjects related to corrosion management, focusing on wells downhole applications and
upstream production assets. This is your opportunity to have face-to-face discussions using the workshop format provided by SPE/NACE with experts
from both of these internationally recognised organisations.

Poster Solicitation & Information

All participants are encouraged to prepare a poster for the Workshop. Presentations on both research and field experience are welcomed. Posters, including unconfirmed/partial results, are to
be presented at an assigned time and are open for discussion. Posters will be on display for the entire Workshop period.
When preparing your poster:
• Avoid commercialism. No mention of trademarks/product name
• Poster size should be approximately 0.8m x 1.2m (W x H) or size A0 in portrait layout
• Identify topic by title, affiliation, address, and phone number
• Include a brief abstract that summarises the technology to be addressed
• Make the display as self-explanatory as possible
• Place the information in sequence: beginning with the main idea or problem, method used, results, etc. (Draw a plan keeping the size and number of illustrations in mind)
• Keep illustrations simple by using charts, graphs, drawings, and pictures to create interest and visually explain a point
• Use contrasting colours
• Use large print for narrative materials. (We suggest a minimum of 24 points or 3” high letters for the title)
Note that the Workshop Programme Committee will review all poster abstracts/materials prior to display, and reserves the right to refuse permission to display any poster considered to be
commercial in nature.
If you are interested to participate, please email your proposed topic with a short abstract (between 200-300 words) to SPE Assistant Event Manager, Hanna-Rose Abdul Jalil at hajalil@spe.org
by 25 August 2017.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organisation. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programmes.
When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships,
certification, the Distinguished Lecturer programmes, and SPE’s energy education programmes Energy4me are just a few examples of programmes that are supported by SPE

SPONSORSHIP SUPPORT INFORMATION

Sponsorship support of the event helps offset the cost of producing workshops and allows SPE to keep the attendance price within reach of
operation-level individuals, those who benefit most from these technical workshops.

Supporters benefit both directly and indirectly by having their names associated with a specific workshop. While SPE prohibits any type of
commercialism within the workshop room itself, the Society recognises that supporting companies offer valuable information to attendees
outside the technical sessions.
SPONSORSHIP CATEGORIES
Sponsorship categories are offered on a first-come basis. Please contact SPE to enquire and verify the availability of categories. Existing
supporters have the opportunity to renew the same level of support for annual workshops.
SPONSORSHIP BENEFITS
In addition to onsite recognition, SPE will recognise sponsors on the SPE website and in all printed materials for the workshop. Based on the
category selected, supporting companies also receive logo visibility on promotional workshop items.
