HGS October Meeting Highlights:
The HGS Dinner Meeting at the Westchase Hilton this Monday, October 13th, features two short complementary talks about the recent field discovery and development of a stratigraphic trap formed by a diagenetic change in a diatomite. The talks describe both the geologic model and seismic definition of this diagenetic trap as well as the successful horizontal drilling and stimulation that developed the field. The two presentations are titled:
-
“Delineation of a Diagenetic Trap Using P-Wave and Converted-Wave Seismic Data in the Miocene McLure Shale, San Joaquin Basin, CA,” and,
“The North Shafter and Rose Oil Fields: A Seismically Defined Diagenetic, Stratigraphic Trap in the Miocene McLure Shale, San Joaquin Basin, CA.”
Speaker details can be found in the calendar event description.
Because Monday is Columbus Day (observed) and we want to get as many attendees as possible, we have extended the HGS-member discount period to registrations made by Monday noon. Joan will be on vacation Monday, but you can email lilly@hgs.org now or call the office at 713-463-9476 during office hours to make your reservation by noon for the Monday evening meeting.
Take a look at all the events coming up in October and plan your participations. By the way, you can now register online for all HGS events that start after October 28th. See you Monday night at the October HGS Dinner! The social starts at 5:30, dinner and talks start at 6:30.
