CHANGING THE GAME: OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES
AND SOLUTIONS
Dear Colleagues,
The 2014 SPE Asia Pacific Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition (APOGCE) will be held 14 - 16 October 2014 at the Adelaide
Convention Centre, Adelaide, Australia.
On behalf of the Technical Programme Committee, we invite you to submit a paper proposal for the conference.
In consideration of the continued changes affecting the oil and gas industry, the theme of the conference is Changing the
Game: Opportunities, Challenges and Solutions.
Significant changes in the energy business continue to create both challenges and opportunities in relation to producing oil and
gas. Each year the game changers make a difference. We have successfully created a new “conventional” production solution
from “unconventional” Coal Seam Gas, continued to routinely set offshore and onshore drilling records, and relentlessly
evolved oil and gas development techniques. We are challenged by regulators and the public to demonstrate high standards
on health, safety and environmental performance.
We, the petroleum industry, are all looking for the next game changer – the significant step which revolutionises. We are
pushing out “Peak Oil” decade by decade. There is no evolution; there is revolution. We are revolutionising the game through
seizing opportunities, seeking challenges and providing and optimising solutions. We are constantly progressing and
sometimes – we completely change the game.
The APOGCE conference provides a great platform for networking and sharing of breakthroughs and creative ideas as well
as best practices through case studies, and discussions of pertinent issues of the oil and gas industry.
In order to ensure an exciting and interesting programme of events for the 2014 APOGCE, the Technical Programme
Committee has invited renowned speakers and scheduled numerous technical paper sessions and panel sessions covering
topics such as “Oil & Gas Reserves and Resources: Do the Rules Match the Game?” and “Accelerating Field Production:
Fast-Tracking Development Plans and Execution”.
The conference will also feature activities and programmes organised to inspire the younger generation and broaden their
knowledge of the energy industry such as the Young Professionals Workshop, the Regional Student Paper Contest, Education
Day and Teachers’ Day.
There is no better time to be part of this great industry. Demonstrate your involvement in this prestigious event by submitting
a paper proposal prior to the 10 February 2014 extended deadline
Thank you in advance for your participation. With your support, we believe that the conference will be a successful and
signification event. On behalf of the 2014 APOGCE organising committees, we look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide, the
elegant and iconic capital of South Australia, set against a stunning backdrop of striking cultural attractions and picturesque
parklands, beaches, vineyards and coastal delights. See you in Adelaide at the 2014 APOGCE!
Sincerely,
Diana Hoff
Conference Chairperson

Technical Programme Committee Chairperson

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 10 FEBRUARY 2014
GUIDELINES FOR ABSTRACTS
Technical papers/posters presented at the 2014 APOGCE will be selected from abstracts submitted to the Programme
Committee. Early submission is particularly important to ensure that the committee members have ample time to review
the abstracts.
PROGRAMME
COMMITTEE PROCEDURES
Abstracts are evaluated on the basis of the information supplied on
the abstract form in accordance with the following criteria:
1. The proposed paper/poster must contribute to petroleum
technology or be of immediate interest to the oil and gas
industry.
2. Data in the proposed paper must be technically correct.
3. The substance of the proposed paper must not have been
published previously in trade journals or other professional or
technical journals.
4. The proposed paper must have necessary clearance before
submission. Any problems concerning clearance should be
outlined when the proposed paper is submitted.
5. The proposed paper must be written in English.
ABSTRACT CONTENT
The abstract must be a minimum of 200 words and no more than
300 words in length, and should include the following:
1. DESCRIPTION: Outline the scope and nature of the work
upon which the paper is based (e.g., field data, lab data,
original analysis, or computer work).
2. APPLICATIONS: Describe the possible applications of the
information provided in the paper.
3. RESULTS, OBSERVATIONS, AND CONCLUSIONS:
Summarise the results and major conclusions to be presented
in the paper and state how these differ from previous work on
the same subject. State whether new information will be
revealed and whether data from field, lab, or computer work
will be included.
4. TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTIONS: Describe the significance
of the subject matter in the proposed paper by listing up to
three technical contributions or additions to the technical
knowledge base of the petroleum industry.
ACCEPTED ABSTRACTS
1. Authors of abstracts selected for the Conference Programme
will be notified in late March 2014.
2. Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be required to
provide a manuscript for inclusion in the Conference
Proceedings. This event is operated under a “No-Paper
No-Podium” Policy whereby if a manuscript with the
associated forms is not received by the due date will be
withdrawn from the programme and not allowed to present.
3. Please note that if accepted, your paper may be published, as
submitted, in conference information media, including the
Conference CD-ROM Proceedings and on the SPE website.
4. Detailed instructions on the preparation of manuscripts and
presentations will be sent to corresponding author of each
accepted paper.
5. SPE assumes no obligation for expenses by authors for
travel, lodging, food or other incidental expenses.
A WORD
ABOUT COMMERCIALISM
SPE has a stated policy against use of commercial trade names,
company names, or language that is commercial in tone in the
paper title, text or slides. Use of such terms will result in careful
scrutiny by the Programme Committee in evaluating abstracts
and the presence of commercialism in the paper or poster may
result in it being withdrawn from the programme.
COPYRIGHT
All authors of papers/posters presented at the conference will be
required to complete and submit a copyright release form to SPE
or submit the copyright exemption from where applicable.
TECHNICAL CATEGORIES
CHANGES, CANCELLATIONS,
AND WITHDRAWALS
SUBMITTAL
SPE and the Programme Committee consider an accepted
abstract as a commitment to present. If extenuating
circumstances prevent the author from making the presentation,
it is that author’s obligation to find an alternate presenter and
notify their SPE Programme Lead and their session chair(s) (if
applicable). Withdrawals must be made in writing to the SPE
office as soon as possible. Under no circimstances can a
submitted abstract be changed once it has been submitted.
Cancellations, particularly after a paper has been accepted and
publicised, are viewed by the Programme Committee as highly
unprofessional.
Use the technical categories included in this leaflet to indicate
the category that best describes your abstract. A primary choice is
required; however, a secondary choice is optional.
1. Obtain necessary clearance from your management.
2. Completed abstract must be received by 10 February 2014.
3. Submit your abstract online at www.spe.org/events/
apogce/2014.
