Its a slow Thursday...


Well today is technically my Friday :) which means I will spend a majority of the day counting down the hours until I am free!! I am finally caught up on all of my high-priority work stuff which means I get to spend today working on my more entertaining projects. Entertaining for me, probably not for you :) I have to build a few cross sections and investigate some possible recompletions...should prove to be an interesting day.

No big plans for the weekend, although I wish I had the extra vacation time to go to Idaho! I miss Jared...and the cooler weather...and the clean air...and the nice views. I'm pretty sure Idaho is one of the greatest places on earth! I mean come on...look at the view from Jared's yard!
It's like a geologist paradise :) If anyone knows of any type of geology related work in Idaho, I would be most appreciative! It's been two years now and still no go. But I'll just keep on trying!

Anywho, thats my morning break for now...time to get back to work!

I guess I must have really let this thing go!

So its been about two years since my last post. Thats a long time! I'm no longer a measly geology student, but a full fledged Development Geologist with a small independent petroleum company! And I finally, finally finished my Masters Thesis (if you really want to, you can read it and let me know what you think!) Life is pretty much the same as it ever was, but I just get paid more (a lot more!) now :) I'll try to make an effort to keep this thing updated more often.

I've been having a good day today as I recently had my Petrel license upgraded. All of the features I wanted since the last few releases are now in there! I spent all afternoon making new and improved cross sections :) Thank goodness now I only have to use one well template instead of many! It makes my life so much easier when I can just hit 'apply all' and magic happens! Now I just have to venture into my 3D modeling visualizations to see what has changed over there. I am also excited about the database functionality...but thats probably enough about that!

I'll be drilling wells soon (yay!) and so I'll be quite the busy bee for the next month or so...hopefully I can get Jared to come out here to visit (or me there). If anyone is looking for cheap flights to various destinations, you should check out Allegiant Air, they had fares as low as 40 bucks each way!

Anywho, thats all I have for this afternoon and my break is now over :) Back to work!
