View from the chair. . . If you attended the January Forum meeting, and thought you knew where oil prices were headed – you probably now know that it’s almost impossible to predict oil prices.  This last month saw prices drop down to about $50 and then bounce back to about $60.  The only thing that is certain about oil prices is that they are uncertain. Most LA SPE members recently received a mass E-mailing regarding nominations for section and regional awards and honors.  I hope you have taken some time to consider who might be deserving of such nominations.  There are many different awards and honors – all relating to three main categories – technical, SPE service, and young professionals.  The LA SPE section should strive to have a valid nomination for every possible award and honor.  We are fortunate to have many talented, dedicated, long-term, SPE members in our section.  Please review the list of awards and honors, and the names of members who have already been nominated, then forward your nominations to me.  The LA SPE board will review all proposed nominations and forward a final list to the Western Region SPE on February 15. I know we are having another exciting technical presentation at our February 13 Forum meeting at the Long Beach Petroleum Club.  I look forward to seeing everyone there.
