Development & Production Committee
Development & Production Committee
Overview
The mission of the Development and Production Committee is to promote the transfer of applied technology involved in producing or developing oil and gas reservoirs, to geoscientists and engineers.
Objectives
The Development and Production Committee promotes the transfer of applied technology involved in producing or developing oil and gas reservoirs through the organization of workshops and forums held during SEG’s Technical Meeting and Exhibition, at other times as identified by the committee, and through co-sponsorship of forums and meetings with other organizations.
The chair of the Development and Production Committee is also responsible for selecting an Organizing Chair for the D&P Forum. The Organizing Chair should pick the Organizing Committee at least one year before the meeting. The Organizing Chair may name as many members to serve on the committee as necessary to accomplish the objectives of the committee. A committee of ten or less is recommended. It may be helpful to assign a committee member to be in charge of the Technical Program.
Representatives are appointed to liaise with sister societies on development and production matters. Proposals for reciprocal sessions at SEG and SPE meetings are developed within the committee.
Composition and Membership
The committee is comprised of a chair appointed for a two-year term by the President. The chair can be reappointed by the President for one more year. The chair cannot serve more than three years. The chair can appoint a co-chair who will assist in the administration and organization of the committee activities. Committee members are selected by the committee chair. The number of committee members will be determined by the committee chair. Committee members should be members of the Society. A member of the Board and the staff will be a liaison to the committee.
