i'm not sure about lis or pdf formats but (being canadian, eh?) i tend
to get things in las format.  with las formats, i can delete the
"header" lines to end up with a bunch of columns of data that can easily
be read into excel (on a macintosh). once they're in excel, its a simple
matter to make "charts" (log displays) that can be copied and pasted
into the drawing package of your choice.
hope it helps.  say hi to joe-pa

depending on what your budget and level of interest are like, they could
be worth it.

Keep a close eye on the drill crew, buy them Cokes and mars bars, it will
up your budget by 0.00001% and will improve all aspects of mud handling
100%, better still find out the NAME of your Derrickman and TALK to him.

You could try Dowell "Sandloc 4" treatment this has worked very well in UK

Portable Compost/Soil /Landfill Gas Monitor
New  portable battery operated gas  monitor simultaneously measures O2,
CO2 and CH4  gases evolving from compost, soil or landfill.  It is
equipped with its own air sampling pump, pressure monitor for both ambient
and deferential pressures, thermistor temperature meter and on board data
logger.  It utilizes infrared gas analyzers for measuring CO2 and CH4 and
electrochemical fuel cell for O2 measurements.
It can measure O2 concentration in the range 0 to 25%, CO2 in the range 0
to 100% and CH4 in the range 0-100%.  Gas analyzer s response time is
approximately 30 sec. 
If you need such measurements ,drop me a note  with your address and I
will mail you more information.

Good food for thought...I did know about the boiler failures and the 
amount of deaths... As you have suggested I have contacted the State 
Boiler Inspectors who have been quite helpful. But of of course this 
means contacting the state where the incident has occurred instead of one 
federal agency that could have a centralized report.An agency such as 
OSHA should also be able to provide me with informations about incidnets 
or conditions that I might not have known about (an accidnet that did not 
casue loss of life or trememdous property damage). Sometimes these 
'minor' problems are even more enlightening.   I throughly understand 
that it may take reams of paper and hours of engineering analysis but 
after all that has been done there is usually, in any well written 
analysis an executive summary of findings and recommendations. Right now 
it is dig dig dig to get information, which I continue to do but I keep 
thinking there has got to be an easier way. Again thanks for your 
comment.Robert Davis  wrote:

Has anyone set the agenda to the Annual ProMAX Users Group Meeting
in Denver next month?
If it's the same as previous years I think I'll pass.
I really don't want to listen to Advance tell us what's in the 
NEXT release(s) again.  Nor do I wish to participate in another
survey (or group discussion) about what WE want in the next release.
We can drop all the time we'd spend on the NEXT release by 
accepting the following:
  It'll have some tools that we want.
  It'll be missing some tools that we want (but they'll be in the
    following release)
  The new tools probably won't work all that well, but will
    be cleaned up and perfected in the following release.
  a large number of older tools will be slightly inproved. (While a
    couple of these 'improvments' will actually hurt)
  The plotting problems will not have been addressed.
  Geometry solutions will get a little better, but still be
    a royal pain.
  The release will be so far behind schedule that it'll seem
    that it's never coming out.
  It'll boil down to three or four steps ahead, and one step backward.
There we go, I've just saved two days.
I might also remind you that releases 3.0 and 5.0 were less than
stellar.  And now we're coming up to 7.0 (where the
user interface is being rewritten).  Pray for us.
However, if this year's meeting is going to be geared more 
toward using what we already have, then it could prove to be a
real benefit to those who attend.  How many of you know how to
work the new refraction statics program, or can use the velocity
analysis programs effectively?  
So fellow ProMAX users, what do you want to see this year?
(PS I have no control over this)

I am a senior in chemical engineering working on a senior design project
on refinery wastewater, and need some information.
In particular, my group needs to find the regulations controlling all
water streams leaving petroleum refineries.  We are not quite adept at
finding governmental and/or industrial regulations and we need to find
this information ASAP.
We also need information about how water is used in refineries, which
unit operations use the water, and typical wastewater treatment methods.
Any information, references, or contacts would be very helpful and
greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

I'm not processing myself, right now, but one of our clients
re-processed some lines using ProMax 6.0's refraction statics, and had
impressive results.  Looks worth the effort to learn.

 Susannah: hi! saw your posting and thought I'd share my experience with
you. I graduated with an M.Sc. (Structural Geology) from the University of
Alberta Canada in 1981. I had always wanted to go to Australia, in fact,
almost went to do my MSc there but the scholarship wasn't sufficient.
Anyways 1981 was boom times in the oil business. I sent a letter and my
resume to over 50 Australian oil and coal exploration companies. I got
about 40 responses, 38 no thanks, 1 maybe and 1 JOB OFFER with Esso
(Exxon)!! Australia was very short of petroleum geos at the time and the Oz
gov't would have given me permanent residency EVEN without the job offer.
As they say in Canada I must have had a horseshoe up my ass. VERY LUCKY.
Other friends tried the same and didn't succeed. Since then I have been
fortunate enoughto also work in Canada, Papua New Guinea, Argentina and the
USA. Once you get involved in the "expat" circuit your contacts increase
and you can often then more easily find O/S positions.
Nowadays, it is a policy of foreign oil companies to hire locals only and
to cut back on their expatriate staff levels. That is the bad news. The
good news is that if you really perservere and are very lucky you may get a
job O/S in your field. However, it is very difficult for graduates without
experience.
My suggestion to you would be to try to first of all get a job in your home
country (USA) with a major exploration company. Get them to train you
really well in your first 5 years and then really start pushing to be sent
overseas to one of their affiliates. You will stand a much better chance
and they will look after visa problems (which is another MAJOR hurdle of
getting a job O/S) and you will also be paid an expatriate package which is
much more lucrative than being paid an overseas countries standard salary. 
If you still want to give the long shot a try go to your library, find all
the oil and gas directories and start looking up names and addresses of the
Exploration Managers of all the oil companies in a chosen country. Don't
spread yourself too thin. Choose one country that has a reasonably healthy
oil and gas industry.
If you need more assistance or suggestions don't hesitate to call or email.
Best of luck!

Most commercial log analysis packages ( QLAII etc. ) have built in

files.  I'm not sure if there are any shareware programs around or
not... you may try the SPWLA at -

I am a graduate student Geology at Arizona State University, in
pursuit of a M.S., planning to finish by the end of summer 1997. I
will be looking for work in geology or hydrology in the Tucson area,
and may consider a part-time position prior to graduation. My
strengths in geology are mostly in quantitative computer applications,
particularly remote sensing and GIS systems (ERmapper, ARC/INFO,
Idrisi, TNT MIPS). I have a well developed, math, physics, and
chemistry background to take on just about any geology,  hydrology or
geotechnical problem. I am published, and have excellent written and
presentation skills. I would be very interested in the challenge of
bringing remote sensing and GIS to a geoscience firm that has not yet
exploited  with this cost-effective technology.

RF-Rogaland Research have been developing drilling software applications for 
more than a decade. Our software emerges from the drilling research we have 
performed. The research we have performed is both theoretical and 
experimental. We have unique laboratory facilities, including a fully equipped 
offshore drilling rig located onshore at our main office. Data from our 
laboratories and full-scale field measurements have been used for verification 
of our software products. 
We have 3 very powerful simulators that can meet number 1-4 on your list. 
1.      RF-KICK is an advanced, dynamic, two-phase model with extensive models 
for fluid properties of mixtures of mud and influx. The simulator has options 
for entering laboratory data for fluid properties like density and solubility. 
The gas rise velocity model has been experimentally verified. The simulator 
has a number of unique modules and it is applicable in deep water wells, HTHP 
wells, horizontal wells and it can handle lost circulation. The KICK simulator 
is a very good tool for well control engineering and training. It can be used 
for kick tolerance simulations, casing design, design of surface equipment and 
a lot of other related tasks. 
2.      PRESMOD is a unique hydraulic simulator. The hydraulic model is 
coupled to a 2D dynamic temperature model. This results in a model using p,T 
dependent density and rheology with very high accuracy. The model is 
especially useful in complicated wells as HPHT, Extended Reach Wells and Deep 
Water Wells. PRESMOD has been verified against field data. The model can 
reproduce static pressures and ecd during cases with a complex mix of 
operational conditions.
3.      CemOpt is an advanced model for optimiced cementing. The simulator 
includes a number of important physical effects such as free fall of cement. 
It is also coupled to a 2D temperature model. The model has a advanced 
displacement model based on a extensive experimental work. 
All the simulators are currently running on UNIX with a Motif based User 
interface. A Win95/Win-NT version will be out spring -97.

Large binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.
Please read this entire message, the Bincancel FAQ, and the complete
report (see below) before following up to or responding to this article.
As a service to, and with the cooperation of, other news administrators,
I run a program that searches for, and issues advisory cancels for,
large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, humanities, misc, news, rec,
sci, soc, and talk hierarchies.
I have issued 10 cancels for large binary files (average size 276,829
characters - total size 2,768,291 characters) posted to 16 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the comp, misc, rec, sci, and soc
hierarchies (with cross-posts into alt, ba, can, ch, cor, fj, ga,
hawaii, ny, pa, pnw, tamu, tor, uf, uk, us, and wi groups) as
follows:
   1 soc.culture.chile
   1 soc.culture.brazil
   1 sci.geo.geology
	sci.geo.petroleum
   1 rec.woodworking
   1 rec.travel.asia

The unnumbered newsgroups in the list are not separate posts, but
are cross-postings of the articles represented by the preceeding
numbered items.  Cross-posting may lead to cancels in non-targeted
groups as a consequence of the way cross-posts work.  A cross-posted
article has only one Message-ID.  When it is canceled from one
group it is canceled from all groups.
This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above.
Follow-ups are directed to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet.
If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
group, read the full report in news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins.  The
full report can also be found in news.lists.filters and alt.retromod.
Look for AR863 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it,
use .
The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
   NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, humanities, misc, news,
	       rec, sci, soc, or talk (except for comp.binaries.apple2,
	       comp.bugs.2bsd, rec.collecting.stamps, and
	       rec.games.bolo)
   BINARY: base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.
   SIZE: > 100,000 characters [(size * (# of parts - .5)), if multi-part]
If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
crosspost it to non-binaries groups.  Then, if you like, post something
in the appropriate discussion group telling people where to find the
binary in the binaries group (a pointer to the binary).  This will
permit news administrators and users to decide for themselves whether
to receive the binary files.
For more information about binary cancels, see the bincancel FAQ,
. 
Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet and private
feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us.  In the interests of preventing
cross-posted flame wars, please honor the followup-to header and do
*not* cross-post your reply to multiple groups.  Thank you for your
cooperation.
Best wishes,
Dick

Ladies and gentlemen,
I have posted the text of an advertizement by MedOil on my s.g.petroleum 
web-page. You will find the link at http://home.sn.no/~james/ as the 
last choice in the Table of Contents on the left, under "Situations 
Vacant".
This is the first of, I hope, many which will be posted as a service to 
the E&P; community. Organizations who wish to have announcements posted 
are invited to get in touch with me via email to discuss the details.
The web pages were generated in 1024x768 screen resolution but can also 
be viewed in 800x600 though with a bit of scrolling in the different 
frames. MS Internet Explorer v 3.x and Netscape v3.x are the recommended 
browsers.
Hope this is of interest to the E&P; community and your feedback about 
the weaknesses are solicited.
Regards,

World new! 
    P.K. Big foot,  aka.  Davison, Katalistiks, Catalyst Recovery Inc. is not done yet. 
Recruiting John McCauley, ref. pillard clayes/colloids, (where are these patents UOP?) 
as well as Amocos'/Arcos' spinell has found another useful metal in the universities of 
the South, (believe it was Duke), and bought the patent.  Think it is zinc.  More humor! 
PK, has contracted Ed Albers, aka. Davison, Katalistiks, who he terminated once before 
to develope it in Eds' fledging company CMT in Baltimore.  Will Ed ever learn?

    Hi all, as you know I've been looking for a contract for my fiance,
well I succeded! Now it turns out they need a few more Drilling Engineers
(spanish is necc.) for LONG TERM (expat or yo-yo) to So.Amer.  Anyone
interested? contact me!
    Pay is decent & could be great for the right people..... 90's & up
