January 2019: Newsletter

Dear RMS SEPM Supporter,

Happy New Year and welcome to the 2019 lunchtime lecture series!  We spent the last few months of 2018 exploring mudrock sedimentology in general and the paleoenvironment of the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, now we turn our attention to the most prolific unconventional basin in the US: the Permian.  Our speaker this month is Bill Drake, of QEP Resources, who will be speaking about how to better assess resource potential for source rock reservoirs in frontier areas via a new methodology utilizing organic carbon mass-balance element mapping as demonstrated in the Woodford shale.  Please join us for this important and interesting look at exploration and play assessment of unconventional source-rock reservoirs. 

Information on the lecture and how to register is available at the link below. If you are not already a member registration for the talk includes an annual membership – details below.
