Hi all –

Our next YP Luncheon is going to be a joint meeting with the production study group on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at EMGI at Brookhaven College at 11:45am.   We will be having Pat Handren with Denbury Resources come back and give a talk on Acidizing.  For those of you who missed his talk in the fall, he is NOT to be missed – he has a lot of knowledge and does a great job answering questions, especially the when, why, and how.    The abstract is listed below, along with his bio. 

Abstract:
Many wells that are being completed today involve stimulation to enhance the production. The method of stimulation that gets the most press is obviously fracturing. There is another method of stimulation that can be cost effective and yield excellent results in the right environment. Acidizing has been around since 1928. Many techniques and acids have evolved for use in the oilfield. While many of the techniques have been around for years the industry has failed to educate many of the newer engineers about the benefits of acidizing. The objective of this presentation will be to begin the process.
 
Bio:
Pat Handren is the Northern Region Engineering Manager with Denbury Resources, Inc. based in Plano, Texas, USA. Prior to Denbury Resources, Handren was employed by Ascent Energy and Oryx Energy Company in various positions, with a primary focus on well completions and stimulation. He earned a BS degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, USA in 1981. Pat has served as a technical editor for SPE, is currently a member of the Dallas section, and is a 30 year member of SPE. He has authored numerous SPE papers.

The cost is $18 with advance reservations or $25.00 at the door.  Please register online at http://www.spedallas.org/luncheon.htm

SPE YP Lunch & Learn - Monday 05/03

Wednesday, 28 April 2010 08:40

Hi all --

Please plan to attend the Lunch and Learn on Monday, May 3, 2010 at 11:30am. We will have SPE Dallas Section Chairman David Hamilton speaking. Please RSVP online http://www.spedallas.org/luncheon.htm by Friday at 3:00pm. It's $15.00 in advance or $20.00 at the door. His synopsis is below:

This will be an overview of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, both internationally and locally, to introduce the local Young Professionals to the bigger picture of SPE for their greater knowledge and to show the opportunities that are available to them. YP's are the future of the Dallas Section and SPE in general. Knowing more about the organization at an early stage of their careers will hopefully result in earlier involvement beyond YP, because YP's don't stay YP's forever.

Also, it's time for new officers to take over for the next program year. If you would like to be more involved in SPE, please drop me an email and let me know where your interest lies and how you would like to contribute. We have had a GREAT year, and I'm looking forward to an even better year next year.

Please consider getting involved -- there are so many opportunities in the Dallas section, from officer positions to committees. It's a great way to network with your colleagues and set yourself apart as a leader in the industry.  If you have any questions, please drop me an email. 

Hope to see you Monday!

Thanks,
Sara Elizabeth Miller
