Excerpts from conference welcome letter:

Many deserving individuals from each organization will receive awards at these events. We wish to offer our congratulations to the recipients and thank them for their service. We trust that many of you will join us in honoring the keynote speakers and the award recipients by attending these luncheons.
Monday, we will open the conference session at 8:30 a.m. with a panel discussion “Next Generation EOR in the Western United States: Reservoir, Economic, Logistical and Technical Considerations.” Panel members include Ed Behm, Vintage Petroleum; Kevin Kimber, Chevron; Gordon Moore, University of Calgary; and Malcolm Pitts, Surtek, with panel moderation by Phiroze Patel, Aera Energy LLC.
