LOOK AHEAD 01/10/11 Board of Directors Meeting at the PCA 5pm Upstairs Conference Room 01/17/11 RSVP through evite for Monthly Luncheon 01/20/11 Monthly Meeting 11:30-1:00 Conf Rooms A, and B - 02/07/11 Board of Directors Meeting at the PCA 5pm 02/14/11 Monthly Meeting Contractor s Forum Conference Room A and B From the President by Greg Hobbs, State of Alaska, DNR greg.hobbs@alaska.gov We have a good line-up confirmed for the Operator s Forum on the 20 th. Please RSVP as we have been held to rooms A and B at, not all three- I looked at evite and we are currently at about 60, so please help us to set-up the room with the proper amount of seats! The Forum is timely in that it will present the potential drilling plans of operators that participate. As a backdrop to this we have the recent TAPS shutdown due to a leak at Pump Station One. This underscores the importance of continued development of Alaska resources to maintain what is in my opinion world class infrastructure on the North Slope and in the Cook Inlet areas. I am also happy to say that an AADE Scholarship Committee has been busy developing a new Scholarship application which will be sent out soon to Engineering Departments at UAF as well as Alaska High Schools for graduating seniors that are interested in pursuing a career in the oil industry. We are taking the lead of the Alaska SPE Section and their scholarship practices, and are trying to foster interest in the Alaskan oil industry as students are leaving high school and also support those studying at UAF. We are thankful to those that support the FFFFF which makes our scholarship efforts possible. As a reminder, please pay your dues for the 2011 year NOW. Can t make the luncheon? Give the $20.00 to a friend to bring. We appreciate it. Also, for those that have purchased lunches for the year, Edgar Rodriguez has your name on a list to check as you check in at the table. If you truly need a card, we will make one for you. Looking forward to a great new year, see you at the meeting on the 20 th! - Greg 1/5

If you would desire for a copy of a particular column, please contact me at tom.mauder@alaska.gov and I will mail you a copy.
