Dear Colleagues,

The 17th SPE Improved Oil Recovery Symposium (IOR) will be held 24–28 April 2010 at the Renaissance Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The theme of the meeting is “Today’s Technology for Tomorrow’s Energy.” In the table below, you will find the technical topics being considered for this meeting. If you have original or previously unreported results in these or related areas, we encourage submission of a paper proposal for consideration by the IOR 2010 Program Committee. We are looking for papers on fundamental technical advances as well as case studies of field applications that provide new insights to improved oil recovery.

Paper proposals will be accepted online at http://manuscripts.spe.org/ppms through the end of August 2009.

Sincerely,

Larry W. Lake
Technical Program Committee Chairperson, IOR 2010
The University of Texas
