One reason for the buzz at our meetings is the fun, complimentary social we enjoy before each meeting.  This is a great chance to chat up your friends and hear what's happening in Houston and the oil patch.   NeuraLog is our hospitality sponsor for January.  Please remember them in your technology needs.

Membership

 

Although the majority of our membership is made up mainly of Independent Geologists, Geophysicists and Engineers, we also welcome others who have Geoscience related jobs to join us and enjoy most of the same privileges, including the best technical sessions and industry networking in Houston. 

 

Of course you don't have to live in Houston resident to be a member of the Houston Chapter.   We are excited about the extraordinary number of people that have chosen to join our organization and they recognize that the benefits are outstanding.  We have presentations coming up by industry icons like Boone Pickens.  Don't hesitate - step up and sign up. Deborah Sacrey is our 2012 Membership Chairman and you can reach her at 713-468-3260 or dsacrey@auburnenergy.com .

Forms and Referrals for Consultants

SIPES has developed, in conjunction with the DPA of AAPG, useful professional model contracts for independent geoscientists. A Model Confidentiality Agreement form and a Contract for Geoscience Services form are now available at no charge at the national web site  and are widely used and accepted in the industry.  SIPES membership also provides exposure for your expertise and areas of experience as a geologist, geophysicist or engineer.  The National SIPES organization maintains a referral list for distribution to companies, individuals and governmental agencies. 

 

National Organization

 

SIPES is a national organization with chapters in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Denver, Fort Worth, Lafayette, Midland, New Orleans, Oklahoma City and San Antonio.  The Houston Chapter is the largest. Part of the richness of SIPES is the networking and communication that propagates between the chapters in these oil  communities.  When you see the SIPES Certificate you can always be sure that you are dealing with honest and reputable geoscience professionals.  Please visit our national website for more details.
