Chairperson's message for May 2008
View from the chair. . .
Happy May Los Angeles SPE members,
I have just a few announcements for this month. The first and most important is that our monthly forum will not take place the second Tuesday of May. Due to scheduling conflicts, the forum has changed to May 20th. This month's speaker is Dave Mercier. Dave will discuss cash flow sources and revenue distribution of the State Lands Commission. For more about his presentation, view the abstract posted in the newsletter.
Secondly, I would like to congratulate Yanis Yortsos and BJ Services for their outstanding contribution to SPE and the petroleum industry. Both Yanis and BJ Services were recognized at this year's Western Regional Meeting in Bakersfield. Yanis was awarded the 2008 Western North America Regional Award for Reservoir Description and Dynamics. BJ Services was awarded the 2008 Western North America Regional Corporate Award.
Thirdly, all of you golf enthusiasts that have not yet signed up for the golf tournament, there's still time. Remember, you will not only enjoy a great day of golfing at the Los Serranos Country Club, but your entrance fee to the golf tournament contributes to the many of outreach efforts such as scholarships. For details about the golf tournament scheduled on May 16th or to pay your entry fee go to http://www.laspe.org/golf2007/golf2007remit.html or in this newsletter.

Lastly, there are two West Coast PTTC workshops this month. Schlumberger will present logging evaluation techniques applicable to California fields for both openhole and cased hole logs. The workshop in Long Beach will take place on May 14th, 2008. The second workshop will take place on May 15th, 2008 in Bakersfield. For more about the events go to http://www.PTTC.org .
