May 15, 2007: David Budd and Paul Weimer will serve as the Technical Program Vice-Chairs for the 2009 AAPG/SEPM national meetings in Denver, CO. David will represent SEPM and Paul is serving AAPG, respectively.
May 3, 2007: University of Colorado, AVID Consortium (Phase I) Sponsor Meeting, Boulder, CO. EMARC held its AVID Consortium (Phase I) Sponsor Meeting: Analysis of Variability in Dolomites (AVID): Origin and Implications for 3-D Reservoir Modeling.
April 2, 2007: AAPG/SEPM Annual Convention in Long Beach. David Budd discussed self-organization in carbonate diagenesis at the SEPM Research Conference on "Changing Paradigms in Carbonates". David's key point was that self-organization may potentially be a new way to look at carbonate diagenesis at the interwell scale, and it's an approach that might generate some level of spatial predictability to diagenetic signals.
April 2, 2007: AAPG/SEPM Annual Convention in Long Beach. Matt Pranter, Nick Sommer, Henrikus Panjaitan, Quentin German, Rex Cole, Neil Hurley, and Donna Anderson presented a paper entitled "Fluvial sandstone-body dimensions and reservoir connectivity within a meandering to braided system: an example from the Williams Fork Formation, Piceance Basin, Colorado".
April 2, 2007: AAPG/SEPM Annual Convention in Long Beach. Matt Pranter was co-chair along with Alan Byrnes and Neil Hurley for both oral and poster technical sessions on reservoir characterization and modeling. The session title was New Approaches to Reservoir Characterization and Modeling, and the papers and posters addressed both siliciclastics and carbonates.
April 2, 2007: AAPG/SEPM Annual Convention in Long Beach. Nick Sommer, Matt Pranter, and Rex Cole presented a poster entitled "Architectural-element modeling and connectivity analysis of the Williams Fork Formation, Coal Canyon, Main Canyon, and Plateau Creek Canyons, Piceance Basin, Colorado, U.S.A.".
June 13, 2006: AAPG Rocky Mountain Section Convention, Billings, Montana. Nick Sommer, Quentin German, Matt Pranter, and Rex Cole will present a poster entitled "Analysis of Fluvial Sand-Body Characteristics and Dimensions in a High Net-to-Gross System, Upper Williams Fork Formation, Main and Plateau Creek Canyons , Piceance Basin, Colorado".
April 28, 2006: University of Colorado, AVID Consortium (Phase I) Sponsor Meeting, Boulder, CO. EMARC held its AVID Consortium Sponsor Meeting: Analysis of Variability in Dolomites (AVID): Origin and Implications for 3-D Reservoir Modeling.

April 9-12, 2006: AAPG Annual Convention in Houston. Jorge Diaz and Paul Weimer gave a poster "Stratigraphic setting of Quaternary mass-transport deposits in the Mensa-Thunder Horse minibasins, northern deep Gulf of Mexico."
April 9-12, 2006: AAPG Annual Convention in Houston. Paul Weimer was the citationist for Robert M. Mitchum, Jr. for the 2006 Sidney Powers Medal (highest honor that the AAPG bestows).
April 9-12, 2006: AAPG Annual Convention in Houston. Quentin German, Matt Pranter, and Rex Cole presented a poster entitled "Analysis of fluvial sand-body characteristics and connectivity in a high net-to-gross system, Upper Williams Fork Formation, Plateau Creek Canyon, Piceance Basin, Colorado".
April 9-12, 2006: AAPG Annual Convention in Houston. David Budd and Matt Pranter gave a talk entitled "Diagenetic origins of lateral periodic variations in the properties of dolomite: evidence of self-organizing phenomena?".
April 9-12, 2006: AAPG Annual Convention in Houston. Marielis Vargas, Matt Pranter, and Tom Davis presented a poster entitled "Characterization and 3-D reservoir modeling of fluvial tight-gas sandstones in the Williams Fork Formation, Rulison Field, Piceance Basin, Colorado, USA".
February 24, 2006: Western Michigan University, Department of Geological Sciences, Kalmazoo, Michigan. Matt Pranter met with Dr. Mike Grammer and his students and colleagues in their new Michigan Basin Core Research Laboratory and presented a talk entitled "Reservoir-scale characterization and modeling of lateral petrophysical variability within dolomite facies of the Madison Formation, Sheep Canyon and Lysite Mountain, Wyoming".
January 6, 2006: University of Colorado, Williams Fork Consortium (Phase III) Sponsor Meeting, Boulder, CO. EMARC held its Williams Fork Consortium (Phase III) Sponsor Meeting: Stratigraphic architecture, reservoir characteristics, and 3-D outcrop modeling using high-resolution laser imaging (lidar), Williams Fork Formation of the Mesaverde Group, Piceance Basin, Colorado. Representatives from 8 sponsor companies attended the meeting, as well as participants from the University of Colorado, Mesa State College, and Colorado School of Mines.
