Meeting Information

"Untangling Acoustic Anisotropy"

Jennifer Market
Weatherford

The abstract for this month's talk as well as the speaker biography may be found in this publication.

 

From the President

Suzanne Heskin

Thanks to all who trekked to the alternate lunch location last month. I hope it was a great meeting. Being flexible is important, especially in times like these. This is a good time to think about how we can do things differently, or what we can do differently to help the industry, our coworkers, or ourselves. Perhaps it is something big, but sometimes small changes can cause a ripple effect. 

Please look for upcoming announcements about the Spring Workshop and attend if you can. Continuing to learn and network is key!

Lastly, go Broncos!

From the Past President

Katerina Yared (QEP) - filling in

Dear DWLS members, it is in these hard times that we try and make the best out of our situation. Using a quote from Mahatma Gandhi: "The future depends on what you do today".- There is no better time than now to volunteer for the DWLS board and keep connected with the oil and gas industry. Become actively involved and help keep the networking and knowledge-sharing efforts as well as expertise in our chapter. We are a strong community and we hope you can help us keep our members up-to-date and informed. This last year has been tough for everyone. You can help do your part for all good reasons. If you are interested please come talk to me at our meetings or email me: Past_President@dwls.spwla.org.

The current board has done a great job in keeping us informed and connected all through the year despite the hardships in their lives. I want to thank them all again for their time and for a job well done! Thank you!

And of course last but not least: GO BRONCOS!

See you soon and be safe.

 

From the Webmaster

Tony Holmes (Digital Formation)

It is time once again we remind you that the DWLS has several items for sale, most of which are extremely fascinating to those of us "in the know."  Even if you were not aware of these before, now is your chance to become part of the "in" crowd.  Actually, for most of the items we just want to recoup the costs already paid out, so please don’t think you are funding a vacation for your Board.  The notable exception is Phil Nelson's book, where all of the proceeds go to SPWLA scholarships.  Please visit http://dwls.spwla.org/Shopping_Mall.htm and find the next gem for your bookshelf.
