Dear Member, Aſter a thoroughly enjoyable summer break LPS resumed evening meengs last week with an excellent double bill of talks from Ahmed Badruzzaman Ph. D, ANS Fellow Pacific Consultants and Engineers and University of California, Berkeley and M. M. Aliyu of University of Leeds. Ahmed gave us a fabulous talk tled “Alternave Nuclear- based Technologies to Migate Risks of Radionuclide Well Logging Sources: Their advantages and challenges” while Aliyu gave a talk tled “Physicomechanical Characterisaon of Flint: Variaon and Control Perspecves”. Both talks prompt- ed healthy debate and discussion. The evening meeng was well aended by students and experienced professionals alike. It was parcularly excing to see back to back presentaons from an SPWLA Disnguished Speaker and a LPS grant award recipient. We are very appreciave of the support from SWPLA in supporng travel costs. It very much helps access to great speakers and allowed Ahmed to travel on to Aberdeen to present at AFES. I want to remind you that it is not too late to get your registraon in for the next one day seminar to be held next week on Thursday 24th September. At a me of cost cung, this seminar will be of interest to petrophysicists, geologists, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, technical assistants, and support staff work- ing directly with or looking for a refresher on legacy data, applying new tools/techniques to vintage data, froner exploraon and research integrang complex datasets. The tle is “Old data, New tricks: Fresh chal- lenges, Mature targets, and Scienfic oddies” and is being run in collaboraon with U.K. Internaonal Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). Please visit the website for more details and registraon forms. The next evening meeng will be held on 20th October where we have yet another SPWLA Disnguished Lecturer to offer you. Mark Proe from Aramco Services Company will present a talk tled “Automacally Quanfying Wireline and LWD Pressure-Test Quality”. Talk starts at 18:30hrs in the Geological Society as usual. Free entry and no registraon necessary. Volunteers Needed! We are starng to look forward to our Annual General Meeng on Tuesday 17th No- vember where we will present the LPS 2015 Execuve Commiee for the approval of the membership. The Commiee will need addional help in 2016, so if you would like to volunteer some of your valuable me to assist in the running of the LPS, our Past-President, Mike Millar, would really like to hear from you ([email protected], 0118-929-3404). I look forward to seeing you at some of the events above.

Dear Member,
After a thoroughly enjoyable summer break LPS resumed evening
meetings last week with an excellent double bill of talks from Ahmed
Badruzzaman Ph. D, ANS Fellow Pacific Consultants and Engineers and
University of California, Berkeley and M. M. Aliyu of University of
Leeds. Ahmed gave us a fabulous talk titled “Alternative Nuclear-
based Technologies to Mitigate Risks of Radionuclide Well Logging
Sources: Their advantages and challenges” while Aliyu gave a talk
titled “Physicomechanical Characterisation of Flint: Variation and Control Perspectives”. Both talks prompt-
ed healthy debate and discussion. The evening meeting was well attended by students and experienced
professionals alike.
It was particularly exciting to see back to back presentations from an SPWLA Distinguished Speaker and a
LPS grant award recipient. We are very appreciative of the support from SWPLA in supporting travel costs. It
very much helps access to great speakers and allowed Ahmed to travel on to Aberdeen to present at AFES.
I want to remind you that it is not too late to get your registration in for the next one day seminar to be
held next week on Thursday 24th September. At a time of cost cutting, this seminar will be of interest to
petrophysicists, geologists, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, technical assistants, and support staff work-
ing directly with or looking for a refresher on legacy data, applying new tools/techniques to vintage data,
frontier exploration and research integrating complex datasets. The title is “Old data, New tricks: Fresh chal-
lenges, Mature targets, and Scientific oddities” and is being run in collaboration with U.K. International
Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). Please visit the website for more details and registration forms.
The next evening meeting will be held on 20th October where we have yet another SPWLA Distinguished
Lecturer to offer you. Mark Proett from Aramco Services Company will present a talk titled “Automatically
Quantifying Wireline and LWD Pressure-Test Quality”. Talk starts at 18:30hrs in the Geological Society as
usual. Free entry and no registration necessary.
Volunteers Needed! We are starting to look forward to our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 17th No-
vember where we will present the LPS 2015 Executive Committee for the approval of the membership.
The Committee will need additional help in 2016, so if you would
like to volunteer some of your valuable time to assist in the running
of the LPS, our Past-President, Mike Millar, would really like to hear
Guidelines for Submissions Why: To encourage the pursuit of excellence in young professional Petrophysicist and other ge-oscientists involved in formation evaluation. To celebrate the outstanding contribution that Dick made to our industry during his 45 year career. Who: Industry professionals with up to three years industry experience; or researchers (but not MSc or PhD students as they are covered by the Iain Hillier award scheme). Where: UK based companies or research centres, or UK based workers on short/medium term over-seas assignments. What: The annual prize consists of a trophy and a cash award of £1000. How to apply: Qualifying young professionals can nominate themselves, or they can be nominated by a colleague or friend, the submission process is the essentially the same. Submit a conference style poster (or paper) to LPS committee for review. The topic should be an inspiring, original and innovative project or piece of work based on formation evaluation using well bore data such as logs, core, pressures. Integration with other subsurface disciplines is encouraged. Original contributions on theoretical and applied aspects of petrophysics, including both open-hole and cased-hole well logging as well as core analysis. Case histories and interpretation are of special interest. You can submit posters or papers that have been published or are under consideration for publication elsewhere, but please give de-tails. The work can have been done as part of a team and does not have to have been an individual pro-ject.
All material presented will be kept confidential.

The 2016 international symposium will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland. As an industry in change petro-
physicists are responsible for making sure we acquire the right data for our projects. But we must also
demonstrate that value is added to the project through interpretation of high quality, fit-for-purpose data.
Petrophysics is one of the key inputs linking geology into reserves optimization, and in today’s economic
climate with an increasing challenge to find new reserves it is more important than ever to emphasize the
value petrophysics adds to our business.
The SPWLA Board of Directors invites you to join us in Reykjavik, Iceland, June 25-29, 2016 to show-
case your recent innovations and discoveries at the 57th Annual Symposium. We solicit papers on all
aspects of formation evaluation.
