Hello Fort Worth SPE!
We're closing out a great speaker series with our final luncheon of the season. Join us Thursday, May 14th at the Petroleum Club in Downtown Fort Worth from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM CT to hear Tor Meling, Senior Vice President at Haas and Cobb Petroleum Consultants, present Engineering Meets Finance: Driving Value Through Simulation. Tor will show how engineering decisions, particularly those driven by simulation, flow straight to the income statement and balance sheet through added reserves and lower OPEX, and demonstrate a simulation workflow that's accessible to every engineer, not just the experts.
A few quick notes: scholarship applications are now closed, thank you to everyone who applied, and we'll be announcing this year's winners shortly. Looking ahead, save the date for the 26th Annual Fort Worth SPE Clay Shoot on Friday, June 12, 2026 at Defender Outdoors Clay Sports Ranch. Teams are limited to 24 and proceeds support our scholarship program, so grab a team early.
