SUMMARY:RMS-SEPM Fall Field Trip: Paint Mines Interpretive Park
DESCRIPTION:Paint Mines Interpretive Park\, located in east-central Colorado near Calhan\, is home to towering hoodoos\, colorful fluvial and pedogenic deposits\, and a rich archaeological history. Mother Nature Network included Paint Mines as one of the twelve most colorful natural wonders on Earth\, and not to be missed! \nDuring this one-day field trip\, we will examine two sequences of synorogenic deposits. Lignites and fluvial sandstone from the Cretaceous to Paleocene D1 Sequence are overlain by mudstones\, paleosols\, and fluvial and overbank deposits of the latest Paleocene to early Eocene D2 Sequence. An unconformity spanning 8 million years separates the sequences. We will discuss the two pulses of Laramide mountain building\, with episodic displacement along thrust faults bounding the Front Range\, that are recorded in these sequences. Another focus will be the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM)\, which took place approximately 56 million years ago and occurs within the D2 Sequence. \nThis will be a family-friendly trip along mostly flat trails. Running shoes or sandals are perfectly adequate footwear. Be aware that after a rain\, trails can be muddy. \nCarpooling is highly recommended. One group will leave the Denver Museum of Nature and Science at 8:30 a.m. and another group will leave the Light Rail Station at Santa Fe and Mineral at 8:45 a.m. Be prepared for a 1.5 to 2 hour drive one way. If you prefer to drive on your own\, please meet at the main (north) parking lot at 29950 Paint Mine Road NO LATER than 11:00 a.m. This is the only Park location with restrooms. \nBring your own lunch\, snacks\, and plenty of water or sports drinks. No water is available in the Park. Be prepared for hot and dry and/or cool and rainy weather. Sunscreen\, sun hat\, long-sleeved shirt if sun sensitive\, rain jacket\, and a light fleece or sweatshirt are recommended. Rock hammers are NOT allowed in the Park. We anticipate the trip will take approximately 3 to 4 hours before heading back to Denver. \nCost is $25 for RMS-SEPM members\, $30 for nonmembers\, and $10 for additional family members and students. Proceeds will be used for the RMS-SEPM student scholarship funds.

SUMMARY:SPE General Meeting: Modern Open Hole Wireline Operations: Safer\, More Efficient Outcomes with Proactive\,  Holistic Planning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nOpen hole wireline logging continues to be the preferred\, cost-effective method of formation \nevaluation in our industry. But as wellbore geometry\, trajectory\, and logging objectives become \nmore complex\, the longer and heavier logging tool strings introduce greater deployment risks\, \noperational uncertainty\, and costs. \nTraditional wireline logging job planning based on tension simulations is no longer sufficient \nbecause other hazards can be left undetected with potentially costly consequences. \nThis lecture presents a modern-holistic methodology\, already widely adopted\, that integrates \nwellbore geometry\, trajectory\, formation properties\, operational requirements\, and insights \nfrom databases of historical wireline jobs that include well designs and operational outcomes. \nAttendees will gain understanding of a data-driven framework for evaluating deployment risks\, \nincluding quantifying differential and mechanical sticking\, along with practical guidance for \nsafer and more reliable wireline operations. \nBio: \nLee holds a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Case Western Reserve \nUniversity and has completed the Stanford Graduate School of Business LEAD \nprogram. He began his career as a wireline engineer and has spent more than two \ndecades supporting operations globally\, including the Rocky Mountains\, Southeast \nAsia\, the Marcellus\, the Gulf of America\, Mexico\, the Caribbean and the North Sea. \nSince joining Gaia in 2011\, his work has focused on strengthening wireline job design \nand execution by developing practical frameworks\, modeling approaches\, and field \nmethods for challenging wells. He has provided wellsite QA/QC support on more than \n175 field operations and has contributed to the creation and refinement of several of the \nplanning and risk-assessment workflows highlighted in this talk. Lee has authored \ntechnical papers and frequently delivers in-house training on applying systematic\, \nmodel-based strategies to improve wireline performance.

SUMMARY:SPE General Meeting: Developing Polycrystalline Diamond Cutter (PDC) For Hard Rock and Geothermal Drilling
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe invention of diamond synthesis in the 1950s led to polycrystalline diamond \ncutters (PDC) that revolutionized oil and gas drilling. Early PDCs worked only for \nshort intervals in soft formations\, but technological advances extended their \nreach in harder rock\, boosting U.S. shale drilling efficiency almost threefold over \nthe last two decades. Effective problem-solving at the dull bit level with good \ndrilling context improved PDC reliability\, and these advancements now benefit \ngeothermal energy projects where PDCs remain highly cost-effective. This talk \nwill highlight strategies for increasing PDC performance in hard rock\, including \ngranite\, through identifying and addressing root-cause failure modes in a \ncollaborative process. \nBiography: \nNeil has been part of the effort at US Synthetic to improve the strength\, \ntoughness and thermal stability of polycrystalline diamond cutters (PDC) for the \noil and gas industry for over 20 years. He has worked closely with PDC bit \nmanufacturers throughout the world\, testing and developing PDC’s for drilling in \nchallenging formations. He has extensive experience in cutter forensics and \ncurrently works with a team of scientists and engineers to develop products that \nhelp the industry drill more efficiently in hard rock\, including geothermal \nformations. Neil received a Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering \nfrom Brigham Young University and is fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
