The technical program included more than 420 oral presentations and ePosters. For the first time in IPTC history, the Geoscience + Integrated Reservoir component of the program exceeded 50% of the sessions, and presentations were given by many leading SEG members. SEG-sponsored sessions covered a wide range of subjects, including seismic acquisition, processing, reservoir characterization, and case histories. Many of these topics were presented as integrated geology/geophysics/engineering studies.
