• Authors whose paper proposals are accepted will be required to write a manuscript for inclusion in the conference proceedings by 26 May 2025.
   
• Your session chairpersons will review a draft of your manuscript.  The deadline for submitting your draft is 12 May 2025.

• Authors who do not submit a manuscript and the associated publication forms by the stated deadline will be withdrawn from the program and will not be allowed to present per SPE’s No Paper, No Podium policy.
   

• If accepted, your paper proposal may be published in conference media, including on the SPE website.
   

• Please Note: An agreement to present a paper at this SPE conference carries an obligation to participate in the event. For questions regarding the paper process, please visit: SPE's Author Guidelines for Papers.

SPE has a stated policy against use of commercial trade names, company logos or text that is commercial in tone in the paper title, text, or presentation slides. Use of such terms will result in careful scrutiny by the Program Committee in evaluation paper proposals and the presence of commercialism in the paper will result in it being withdrawn from the program.

We expect authors to credit all sources used in their writings and not to represent work of others as their own. Authors found to have plagiarized the work of another are subject to having their paper removed from the conference program and from OnePetro. Future submissions from authors found to have plagiarized will be scrutinized carefully. In the case of students found to be plagiarizing the work of others, SPE may inform the student’s university.

In an effort to further improve SPE’s technical quality standards, all submitted conference papers will be checked for plagiarism.
