July, 2001
During the month of May, the PTTC participated in a very successful
workshop in Midland TX, Optimized Horizontal Well Technology. This
workshop was just a taste of a more in-depth school available on
the topic, and there will be a second workshop, most likely in September.
Other workshops in the planning stage, are one on wellbore management,
probably to be held in Southeast New Mexico in the early fall, as
well as one on some Excel spreadsheet applications developed here
at New Mexico Tech, and one that will present some of the GIS work
we have done. Other suggestions for workshop topics are always welcome,
just contact me via email (martha@prrc.nmt.edu)
or phone 505.835.5685.
The DOE has announced the continuation of its popular PUMP program(Identification
and Demonstration of Preferred Upstream Management Practices II
(PUMP II) for the Oil Industry. More information can be found at
the National Energy Technology's website in the solicitations section
(.http://www.netl.doe.gov/business/solicit/index.html)
The closing date for solicitations is August 14. Also, now available
online through the DOE is a copy of the President's National
Energy Policy. Our readers are urged to take a look at the Department
of Energy's Website, http://www.energy.gov/,
which has undergone a recent facelift. The new site has much-improved
navigation, and provides links to thousands of pages of data and
information.
Speaking of facelifts, both of our websites, GO-TECH, and the Southwest
PTTC site, have recently been redesigned. We hope our users find
the sites useful and user-friendly. Feedback on our new designs
is greatly appreciated. The Industry Service and Outreach Group
has a new employee, Ms. Jenny Ma, who will be our Database Programmer
and Administrator. Ms. Ma has several years of experience with database
design and programming, and will be a very useful and valued member
of our team.
