Augest, 2000
The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and many people are on or
planning vacations. We are in the process of planning our upcoming year's workshops and
products. If you have suggestions, either for a workshop topic or speaker, or for an
enhancement or product that utilizes our production database, please let us know. As
always, I can be reached at martha@prrc.nmt.edu.
We will also be attending various oil-related meetings throughout New Mexico, including
IPANM and later, NMOGA, so you can look us up there.
The next PTTC event will be in September at the Rocky Mountain
Section AAPG meeting in Albuquerque. We will be sponsoring and chairing the session
on Fractured Reservoirs. Also, there will be an international conference on
"Evaluation of Reservoir Wettability and Its Effect on Oil Recovery" on
September 27-28, 2000. Look for more information on both these meetings later this summer.
We will participate also in the Annual CO2 meeting in Midland in December.
Several people have noticed, and let me know, that Cook Inlet is no longer
providing gas prices on their web site. As a result of this, we are no longer updating
prices for Waha hub in our price database. We will be looking for a replacement for this,
and I also hope to find a provider of San Juan prices as well.
Did you know that you can access the results of many DOE-sponsored
projects online? For a sampling of what is available, we browsed a few web sites and found
some of the following. From the DOE's National Energy Technology web site, the following
conference proceedings are available: University of Coal Research Contractors Review
Meeting, 2000 Conference on SCR/SNCR for NOx Control, 2000 Conference on Unburned Carbon
on Utility Flyash, Industry Partnerships to Deploy Environmental Tech. Conf., 1999 ATS
