ABSTRACT CONTENT

A proper review of your abstract requires that it contain adequate information on which to make a judgement. Written in English and containing a maximum of 450 words, abstracts should be summarised into four (4) specific paragraphs:

  • Objective/Scope: Please list the objective and/or scope of the proposed paper (25-75 words).
  • Methods, Procedures, Process: Briefly explain your overall approach, including your methods, procedures and process (75-100 words).
  • Results, Observations, Conclusions: Please describe the results, observations and conclusions of the proposed paper (100-200 words).
  • Novel/Additive Information: Please explain how this paper will present novel (new) or additive information to the existing body of literature that can be of benefit to and/or add to the state of knowledge in the petroleum industry (25-75 words).

Do not include title or author names in the body of the abstract. Title and author information will be requested separately through the submission system.

Primary/ePoster Presentations for the Conference will be selected from abstracts submitted. The Programme Committee will consider abstracts submitted by the deadline of 5 June 2026. Early submission is particularly important to ensure that the committee members have ample time to review the abstracts.
