This year, David Miner and Greg Gordon (Mines alums) led us on a coastal hydro- carbon systems geology field trip featur- ing instruction on source rocks, fractured reservoirs, and conventional clastic reser- voirs. The beach geology field trip is al- ways a highlight of the field session. With the Pacific Ocean as a back drop, the students enjoy sending “selfies” to their friends on the Texas field session trip.
Our last day in the field was hosted by CRC and Mines alums Tom Turner, Dan Fletcher, and Robert Sebag. We visited CRC’s Long Beach office for lunch and presentations on CRC assets Wilmington Field and THUMS islands. After a safety meeting, we took a boat ride to Island Freeman for a tour of the facilities and drilling rig. PE alum William Stevenson, Long Beach Energy Resources Depart- ment , joined us for the THUMS tour. Ear- lier that day, we visited C & J Energy Ser- vices/Tiger Wireline in Signal Hill where the students learned more about wireline services including logging, well perforat- ing, and pipe recovery equipment and services. We appreciate the hospitality shown to us by CRC (Elk Hills and Long Beach/THUMS tours) and Tiger during our time in California.
The field session in Southern California would not be possi- ble without the generosity of our alums and friends in the area. The students, TAs, Staff, and Faculty had a wonderful learning experience and an- other enjoyable visit to Cali- fornia. Thanks again! We hope to see you next year!
