SPE Fort Worth

Chairperson's Newsletter - Winter 2025

We are rounding out the second half of our 2024-2025 season, and we have an eventful year lined up. First, thank you to our members for making the Holiday Happy Hour a success in December 2024. We were able to raise over $200 for additional Christmas items for NICA (Northside Iter-Community Agency) during their holiday distribution. Thank you to our sponsors who help make it a success, Norton Drilling, Renegade, Hulk and Halliburton.

This season we will have 2 Distinguished Lecturers visiting our Fort Worth Chapter. In January 2025, Dr. Kyle Murray presented “Pathway for Recovering Valuable Elements of Interest from Subsurface Brines & Oilfield Produced Waters” and during our March 2025 meeting we will have Dr. Leen Weijers presenting “Making Unconventionals Competitive”. In addition to our DL speakers, we have a full season of other volunteers who are eagerly awaiting to share their knowledge and experience.

We are also thankful to announce two members who have joined our SPE Board: Katherine Nunley from Halliburton and Isabella Vigil with Texland Petroleum, L.P. Our board is comprised of volunteers who help our meetings be successful along with community outreach and events. Some events we have lined up are Engineers Week Volunteer event will be on February 11-15, FW SPE Clay Shoot will be on June 20, and the SPE Golf Tournament will be on October 17 at Squaw Creek. If you are wanting to participate, please reach out to Juan Venturi or Logan Vitello.

Thank you again to all our members and sponsors for a wonderful year!

Happy New Year!
