Announcements

EAGE acknowledges the use of generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, Bard, etc, in research publications, books, articles and abstracts. However, some concerns have been raised about these tools and therefore EAGE has some rules in place. Refer to the EAGE statement on AI generated content for papers for more details.

In accordance with the statement from the EAGE board on the war inflicted by the Russian Federation on Ukraine, we are sorry to say that EAGE won't accept any submissions coming from Russian based entities. This includes EAGE events and all EAGE journals. Russian individuals, however, are welcome to submit at personal title.

Norman Falcon Award

The EAGE’s Norman Falcon Award is presented to the author(s) of the best paper published in Petroleum Geoscience (or in First Break in a related topic) in the calendar year preceding the award. The paper should be of high scientific standard and should represent a significant contribution to one or more sub-surface disciplines.

Early Career Award

The Early Career Award is annually presented for the best paper in PG from an author in the early stages of their career. To be eligible, authors must be within ten years of the award of their first degree in geoscience or a cognate subject on submission of their accepted paper (or up to 12 years in case of an interrupted career path). Those nominated do not have to be Fellows of the Society.

The prize is a free-of-charge gold Open Access paper (subject to full peer review) in the journal, for a paper submitted within 2 years of your award, an SP (or EGSP) of your choice and an invitation to join the PG Editorial Board, supported by guidance mentoring from the Co-Editors.

If you wish to be considered for the award, please email the Journal Manager at [email protected] with the title of the paper and names of eligible authors.

Criteria for the award are as follows:

• Single or lead author. If the latter, a declaration from their supervisor will be sought stating that the candidate led the work
• Exciting topic set in a general context – not parochial
• Should be a novel approach or interpretation
• Discussion and development of ideas, not just a collection of results/observations
• Clear conclusions of general relevance
• Clearly and concisely written
• Logical structure and argument
• Relevant and clear diagrams
