  • The registration for the workshop is OPEN and all presenters are required to kindly complete the registration along with the payment in order to take part in the workshop. Early rates will apply until 26th October for all presenters.

Technical Discussion

An integral part of a technical presentation is the technical discussion at the end of the presentation. The author should be prepared and able to discuss their paper with their peers in the audience during the last 5 minutes of the time slot. The discussion will be facilitated by the session chair.

If a speaker is not able to come to the event to present their own paper, they may be represented by one of their co-authors. Again, to enable a meaningful technical discussion, the alternative speaker should be familiar with the presented work and its background. The speaker should inform the EAGE office before 1 August 2021 to indicate this.

If the alternate speaker is not familiar with the work and this becomes clear in the discussion, this could lead to rejection of future papers at EAGE events by both the original and the alternate speaker.

Oral Presenter Guidelines

Presenters have been allocated 25 minutes each for their presentations, 20 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions.

The structure of a good presentation is as follows:

  • Define the subject, give a general outline and state the goals of your presentation in the introduction 
  • Show the details of your work 
  • Summarise the findings/conclusion

Please remember the findings/conclusions are often the most important part, leave time to get through these slides without rushing.
