The first quarter of the year has slipped by with just a slight decrease in activity to the individual companies in the service industry. Although activity overall is high, we will continue to see service companies supplement their inventory of equipment as well as continue to see more new companies formulate. With the “gas scare” from around the country, much equipment is heading to the Permian Basin. Drilling rigs, hydraulic horsepower, etc, etc are more abundant now than before in the Permian Basin. For the operator this may mean a price adjustment for services as many backlogs for work have cleared. Emphasis should be placed on safety, job quality and expertise as the call for services will be answered by a more competitive market now. Higher cost should be associated with the companies that work safe and command leading edge expertise. During all this, please remember that experience will run low in many situations and go easy and show support for the employees that are doing the actual work on location. The SPE – Plays & Clays Shootout was a good one. I shot at 9am and couldn’t have asked for better conditions. The theme for the shoot was to promote growth in SPE and with officially 219 registered shooters and gaining 16 new members, I deem the event a home run! Jim Newman was director, him and his staff of Tina Johns, Aaron Hunter and Jerry Walton ran a welloiled machine. I want to give many thanks to this team. For this to be our first clayshoot I was hearing many good things from the crowd as to how well everything was organized. Also, thank you to all who came out to support our chapter and welcome new members. Also, need to thank our sponsors. The Wolfberry Sponsor - Concho; Bone Spring Sponsors - Basic Energy Service, Oxy, Pioneer Natural Resources, Rising Star and Stabil Drill Specialties; Spraberry Sponser – Gray Wireline Service and Apache; Spud – Big Dog Drilling, Select Energy Service; and a donation from Jay H. “Timber” Floyd. I am looking forward to filling the Board of Directors open positions; we have five people who will be considered to filling these spots. Lance Vasicek with Saga, Geoff Stafford with Whiting, Casey Zachery with Concho, Richard Reeve with WNB and Dacun Li with UTPB. If you know of anyone else interested in being on the board, please forward me their name. This year’s theme is growth, SPE – Permian Basin needs help and we will expand. We will be looking for these people to join us and look forward to them serving; it will be official after next board of directors meeting in April. If you are on this list, please join us for next meeting; contact me or any board meeting to see what day we schedule. Make sure and make your reservations with Darlene for “An Evening with SPE” – Awards Banquet. It will be held at the Midland Country Club on April 24th at 6:00 P.M. Starting with a social hour and include a nice dinner. The party will move to announcing the SPE awards for the year including the Legion of Honor and Regional Awards. The Richard S. Prentice scholarship will be formally announced. SPE international president, Ganish Thakur will have a word on the health of SPE internationally and domestically. Have a great April and be safe! Robert Reyes 2011-2012 SPE Permian Basin Chairman April 2012 - Issue 110 Page 3 SPE-PB announces the creation of the Richard S. Prentice Scholarship The Board of Directors of the Permian Basin Chapter of the Society of Petroleum Engineers has unanimously voted to establish a permanent scholarship to honor the legacy of Richard S. Prentice. Dick died March 13, 2012 after an extended illness. Dick was an accomplished engineering professional and well known in the Permian Basin. He was also a long time member of SPE and a dedicated servant of the society. Dick held the position of Treasurer of the Permian Section at the time of his passing, but had been a Board member numerous times during his career, including its Chairman in the Mid-1990s. One of Dick’s most outstanding characteristics was his willingness to serve. No task was too small or too large for Dick. Whether it was handing out flyers at the SPE-Fall Festival or getting the Section’s finances in order, Dick was ready. He had the heart of a servant. The Board is working with his family and Dick’s Concho Co-workers to define the characteristics of this scholarship. Formal dedication of the scholarship will be at the SPE Awards Banquet on April 24. If you are interested in contributing to The Richard S. Prentice Scholarship, please send your donation to SPE-PB, P.O. Box 3366, Midland, TX 79702. Please write Prentice Scholarship on the check. Regards, Robert Reyes Chairman, SPE-PB Page 4 April 2012 - Issue 110 SPE - Environmental Study Group Conservation of the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard: From Neighborhoods to Landscapes Speaker: Lee A. Fitzgerald, Ph.D. Professor and Curator Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University Thursday, April 26, 2012 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM Advanced Technology Center - Lecture Hall 3200 W. Cuthbert, Midland, Texas $20 cash or check at the door RSVP by: 4/24/12 Sharon @ 683-1100 ABSTRACT: What allows a species to persist and what causes it to disappear? The answer depends on the species’ life history and behavioral constraints, its role in ecological communities, and its sensitivity to landscape change. Our research on the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard (Sceloporusarenicolus) carried out over the last 18 years has revealed how their populations are organized from local neighborhoods of interacting individuals up to the distribution of the species across its geographic range. Dunes Sagebrush Lizards are habitat specialists, endemic to the Mescalero-Monahans shinnery oak sand dunes in southeastern New Mexico and adjacent Texas. They occur only in and around wind-hollowed “blowouts” in a matrix of dwarf shinnery oak trees. The quality and quantity of habitat are correlated; high quality habitat consists of many interconnected large blowouts. At the scale of habitat patches, lizards live in “neighborhoods”. Larger neighborhoods are found in higher quality habitat and produce an excess of recruits that disperse across the interconnected landscape. Poor quality habitat supports smaller neighborhoods, where recruitment fails to balance mortality. At the landscape scale, the species’ presence is associated with contiguous areas of dunes, while its absence is associated with dunes infiltrated by mesquite. How does land-use affect the lizards and their habitat? Our results converge on the conclusion that landscape fragmentation disrupts both the hierarchy of organization of populations and the self-organizing dynamic that maintains the shinnery dune landform. Dunes Sagebrush Lizards practically disappear from sites fragmented by dense networks of caliche roads. In this system, top-down disturbance disrupts the relationships between habitat quality, neighborhood size, and connectivity among populations. To conserve the dynamic processes that maintain the unique landform in this system and the resulting hierarchical scaling of populations, land use policies should recognize the potential for hierarchical effects and conserve large contiguous areas of shinnery dunes. BIOGRAPHY Lee Fitzgerald is Professor in the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences at Texas A&M University, Curator of the Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection, and co-Director of the Applied Biodiversity Sciences Doctoral Program. He has a broad background in ecology and conservation, including community-based conservation work in the Peace Corps in El Salvador and Paraguay and research all over the Americas. A herpetologist, his research on evolutionary ecology and conservation biology of amphibians and reptiles takes place primarily in the American Southwest and South America. His research addresses various conservation issues, for example, sustainable use as a biodiversity conservation strategy in the tropics, habitat requirements of single species, determinants of local and regional diversity, and mechanisms determining the fate of invasive and native species. Lee’s honors include Outstanding Peace Corps Service (awarded by Ronald Reagan and Lorette Miller Ruppe), Sigma Xi Excellent Dissertation 1993, Texas A&M, Vice Chancellor’s Awards for Undergraduate Teaching, Graduate Teaching, and International Programs, and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Minority Ph.D. Program Mentor.

The Board will use its resources to educate, promote, and recognize Petroleum Industry related companies, which participate in this program. Historically the local chapter has supported the education curriculum in MISD (Engineering Week, Girls in Engineering), and at the collegiate level (scholarships). In addition to these programs, the Board believes that there should be an increased emphasis in academic and social achievement at the early elementary and secondary levels in order to assure a competitive workforce for the future. The Board believes there is a large need in the school system for additional material and human resources. MISD’s Partner in Education program is a direct and effective way for organizations to get involved. A number of local companies already participate, but the program needs more commitment from the business community. Many schools have multiple partners. You can make a contribution if you are a sole proprietor or a local office of a multi-national. If your company would like to get involved, call Darlene at 432 682 6060 for more information.
