Symposium Schedule

The Symposium was a great success. Thank you to all the attendees and sponsors.

Mike Raines (WTGS President) presented both a Geologic Map from the Maps In Schools program and an Earth Science Week program for the children at Grady ISD, May 13, 2009.

Have you ever thought that you would like to have a complete library of the West Texas Geological Society publications and not have to rent more office space or buy more bookshelves to accommodate the collection? Well…that is now possible.

The WTGS website has been updated and upgraded. Members are now allowed to view and edit their own membership contact information, retrieve historical WTGS documents, submit GeoJobs, and a plethora of other functions. Not only is the site more functional, user friendly, and modern looking; it also has the capability to expand well into the future as WTGS continues to grow and Members need more function from their society's internet connection.

Structure and Stratigraphy of the Permian Basin – Understanding the Fundamentals of Conventional and Unconventional Plays

The Fall Symposium continued it's long-standing tradition of excellence with a strong technical program targeting concepts applied to active exploration and development of plays in the Permian Basin. The two days of technical sessions featured both oral and poster sessions presented by noted authors on the diverse aspects of Permian Basin plays. Friday morning featured a core workshop. Anticipated cores  included in theworkshop were: Wolfcamp, presented by Henry Petroleum; Clear Fork Detrital, presented by Whiting Petroleum; and Suntera Field, presented by Great Western Drilling. The symposium offered an opportunity for geologists, geophysicists, and engineers to meet with the researchers and service providers operating in the Permian Basin and dedicated to continual learning for resource development.
