SUMMARY:Groundwater and Oil and Gas Development: Improved Management Practices for Groundwater Protection and Water Supply (workshop #5035)
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \nThe boom in unconventional oil and gas development presents many challenges to groundwater resources\, including water availability and groundwater quality. \nTo provide forums to address these issues\, NGWA sponsored workshops in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, in 2014 and in Columbus\, Ohio\, in 2017 to bring together scientists and practitioners from the groundwater and oil and gas industries\, government\, and universities. The goal of these workshops was to identify data gaps and science needs\, and to provide recommendations for reducing uncertainties related to groundwater risk. \nThis third workshop will focus on water availability and improved water management practices for groundwater protection. \nKeynote speaker \n“Wellbore Barriers — More than Just a Good Cement Job” will be presented by keynote speaker Glen Benge\, an independent consultant specializing in wellbore isolation and well cementing. \nRetired from ExxonMobil where he spent more than 24 years working as a technical adviser in drilling\, Benge has 40 years of experience associated with all aspects of well cementing and isolation\, and has authored numerous papers and texts on all aspects of cementing design and application. He served as the testifying expert for the U.S. Department of Justice for evaluation of cementing on the Deepwater Horizon case. He’s past chairman of API Subcommittee 10 on Oil Well Cementing and remains an active member and work group chair. \nBenge has authored technical papers on zonal isolation and wellbore isolation for containment of gas migration\, fluid isolation\, and pressure containment for long-term wellbore integrity. He is a technical editor for SPE Drilling & Completionjournal\, and has served as session chairman for the National AADE Conference and on the steering committee for the SPE Forum on Advanced Drilling Techniques. Benge serves on industry advisory groups for the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Energy Technology Laboratory.

SUMMARY:National Water Policy Fly-In
DESCRIPTION:April 3 – 4\, 2019 \n \nHyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill \nWashington\, DC\n \nThe National Water Policy Fly-In serves as the anchor event for Water Week.  Presented jointly by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA)\, the Water Environment Federation (WEF)\, the Water Research Foundation (WRF)\, and the WateReuse Association\, it is the most widely attended national policy event for water professionals to advocate on behalf of clean water utilities. \nAs has been made clear by recent comments from President Trump and congressional leaders in the new Congress\, there is strong interest in Washington to advance a bipartisan infrastructure package during 2019.  This would build off the momentum of major advocacy wins in 2018\, such as the bipartisan passage of the America’s Water Infrastructure Act. \nBut in order to ensure that any package includes water as a top priority\, it is critical that policy-makers hear directly from you about the specific challenges facing your utility and community.  Join hundreds of other clean water leaders and stakeholders as they call on the Administration and the new Congress to work in partnership with the clean sector\, invest in the nation’s clean water infrastructure\, and advance policies that benefit clean water utilities and the communities they serve.

SUMMARY:Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium
DESCRIPTION:2019 Invitation from our President\, Dennis Schaibly \nWelcome to the  NEW  Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium! \nConferences like ours have seen declines in attendance in recent times and we are wondering why. With the large numbers of the “old lions” retiring and a whole new generation of eager\, young people taking over the machinery operation and maintenance\, there should be a huge thirst for training and networking for knowledge of Rotating Equipment. \nWe want to step to the forefront of providing the industry with a source for that training right here in Baton Rouge. What began as a group of industry experts working with LSU Continuing Education (now LSU Digital & Continuing Education) in 1983 as GSCC (Gulf South Compression Conference)\, our vision continues today as GSRMS still partnered with LSU-DCE to bring a strong program of training to our industrial base. Now we are taking steps to be even more responsive to your training requirments. Here is what is coming in April to the symposium: \n\n Tutorials (2 hrs.) and Short Courses (4 hrs.) –  industry knowledge based programming and demonstrations\n Ethics Program – meet your PE training requirement for 2019\n Continuing Education Credits from LSU DCE for these programs\n A JOB FAIR – opening day opportunity to meet industry recruiters\n Trade Show – industry experts explain their projects\, innovations and services and what’s new to the industry\n Networking with your peers\, learn from others that have made the mistake before. The Fail Forward Approach.\n\nReturning to GSRMS this year…. The Crawfish Boil!  Have a little fun while learning. \nTo our business partners\, we hope you will join us and work with use to make this symposium strongly relevant to the end users\, your customers\, by promoting your participation. Your exhibit registration includes one “free pass” to reward your favorite client to a full attendance. Together we can make the Gulf South Rotating Machinery Symposium the type of event that you expect it to be.
