What’s In a Name: Petrotech 2010

I complained in a previous post about the fact that a search for “Aramco conference 2010” resulted in a hit on Middle East Petrotech 2010 that had no information on Petrotech 2010. I was too quick to whine … a subsequent search for “Middle East Petrotech 2010” resulted in slightly more current information, including the names of the committee members, shown below. Names like these can be significant to desulfurization research because they are either the decision makers, or know the decision makers, that will fund your research and/or buy your research results.
