SPE Western Regional Meeting Notes Thanks to the efforts of our outstanding committees, hundreds of details are falling into place as our June 19 - 22 convention rapidly approaches. Buoyed by record oil prices, the positive elements of our industry are rallying around the first-ever joint SPE/AAPG meeting, true to the theme "Working in Concert". The Technical Program Committee has put the finishing touches on an aggressive 41 sessions, and 240 presentations schedule which will feature relevant technology from California and a variety of top-notch domestic and international contributors. Exhibit booth demand remains strong, with 65% of our available 45 spaces already reserved. Prospective exhibitors are urged to contact Texokan's Linda Smith @ 310-395- 0185 in order not to be left out of the premier oilfield sales opportunity for the year!

We will be offering 6 continuing education courses and 5 field trips. The California Oil Museum in Santa Paula will be exhibiting historical overviews of our Petroleum Industry in California in an area open to the public where we also plan to highlight our community outreach programs.
