This is the title of an example SEG abstract using Microsoft Word 11-point bold type

The author name and affiliation are in 10-point italics, aligned left. An asterisk * is placed after the speaker's last
name. The affiliation of each author should be listed as place of employment or university attended when the
research was completed.
Summary
Here is where you put your summary. If you click ONCE
on and select this paragraph, you will replace this text with
your own text and it will be automatically formatted for
you. All styles for this template are formatted for you.
Introduction
Here is the first paragraph of the introduction. The font for
this template is Times New Roman, but any comparable
font may be substituted. The Section Headings are 9-point
bold Times New Roman and the text of the paper is 9-point
Times New Roman.
Abstracts may be distriubted by USB or online exactly as
they are submitted. SEG staff will not edit or retype the
copy. The maximum length of an abstract is 4 pages.
Theory and/or Method
This is the first sentence of a sample section. All paragraph
text should be set for full justification.
Note that
paragraphs are not indented and are separated by one line
of space. Additional instructions for composition are:
Abstracts must be written in English.
Authors are responsible for sizing and positioning their
illustrations.
Figures can be in black and white or color.
Figures, equations, charts, graphics, etc. must be
embedded into the text of the paper.
These bulleted items are used as an example and should
be deleted so they do not appear in your document.
Examples (Optional)
This is the first sentence of a second sample section. Each
of the paragraphs and section headings appear shaded in
this template, with the exception of the bulleted items
above and the text in the following frame.
The text boxes appear shaded on the screen only. It will
disappear as you select each paragraph to replace with your
own text, or just delete.
If you have a chart, graphic, equation, etc. you will need to
embed them in the document. You can insert a frame and
place an equation inside ,or insert an external file. This is
an example of a frame:

Double click here to type your header

This frame is not locked in place and will move with your text. You can place an equation or external file in this frame and add
text before and/or after the object. The frame will automatically enlarge as you enter text, and can be formatted with or without a
border. This frame has a single line border. To change the border of the frame, left click inside the frame once left click on
Format on the menu bar, then Borders and Shading.

This is an example of a 3D Subsurface Chart imported from

Microsoft Excel. Left click on Insert on the menu bar and then select Object. You can either embed an existing file, or create
your object at that point. You can also select to embed a Picture instead of an object.
You might want to anchor the frame once you have completed the layout of your entire paper. You can also re-size the object you
have embedded to take up more or less space.
There is a caption that is formatted to flow with the frame and will automatically number. You can place the caption inside or
outside the frame by placement of your cursor. Place your cursor where you want the caption by left clicking once, select Insert
from the menu bar, select Caption. Choose the label (Figure, Table, or even create your own label) and format the numbering
sequence.
Figure 1: This caption is placed inside the frame

Table 1: This caption is placed outside the frame and is followed

by a page break.

Conclusions
This is the first sentence of the third sample section. Pages
2 - 4 will need to have a shortened version of your paper
title. The header is set up to begin on page 2 and appear on
all succeeding pages. To enter the header:
Double click on the header, replace the existing text with
