Northsiders Luncheon
Jan 14, Crowne Plaza Greenpoint (former Sofitel), 11:30 am
Lawrence Baria and Ezat Heydari describe the effects on Smackover seals of " A Regional Erosion Surface and its Effect on the Smackover Reservoir-Seal System Along the South Arkansas – North Louisiana Jurassic Shelf." Learn why sometimes your seal is there, and sometimes it's not when you're working the Smackover.
Be sure to make a reservation through the HGS website--large numbers of walk-ups wreak havoc with the hotel kitchen, and you may not get a meal if you're not pre-registered Register Mapquest | Add to Calendar
