CORNER I am very much looking forward to attending the SPE Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition (ATCE) in Amsterdam the last week of October. I think I have only missed two annual SPE meetings in my 33 years as a member. Not only are these the best and most smoothly organized meetings in our industry, but all my friends (the FOJs) are there! It’s a great time to catch up with former coworkers you haven’t seen in eons, take home some new approaches to apply to your current project, and make new contacts. It’s not too JEANNE PERDUE late to register, and we are still looking for a 2014-2015 SPE-GCS Chair few more PetroBowl judges for Oct. 27. And I’ve saved the best news for last: On behalf of all our Gulf Coast Section officers and volunteers, I will have the special privilege The 2014 Kickoff Meeting went very well, and we signed up about 20 new of accepting the President’s Award for Section volunteers to help with our Study Groups, Committees, and Community Service Excellence at the President’s Luncheon projects. While these new volunteers think they will be helping SPE, what they on October 29. If you are going to ATCE in really will be doing is helping themselves: T Amsterdam, please join me at that luncheon • They will find out they are capable of things they never thought they would be able to do. and hoot and holler like true Texans when our • They will meet new people they didn’t know they needed to meet. Section’s award is announced. • They will find out about new technology or new ideas they can implement at work that they never would have found out about while sitting at their desk. • They will learn new interpersonal skills they would not have learned any other way. That’s the cool thing about SPE: all the volunteers who are giving their time and talents to benefit other members are receiving the multiple benefits given by the other 124,000 members. Talk about leverage! We all have our own gifts to share, but sometimes we don’t even know we have them. But by putting yourself out there, by taking the risk “Congratulations! The Gulf and responsibility, the experience you gain “The greatest good you can miraculously lifts the veil from your own eyes, Coast Section has been enabling you to see yourself as you truly are: selected to receive the 2014 do for another is not just a valuable member of a global brotherhood to share your riches, but to seeking to make the world a better place President’s Award for Section reveal to him his own.” through energy and economic development. Excellence. This prestigious I’m reading an excellent book recommended award recognizes SPE -Benjamin Disraeli by FOJ (Friend of Jeanne) Pradeep Anand. It’s titled The Culture Map: Breaking Through sections with exceptional the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business, by programs in technical Erin Meyer. I highly recommend it, especially for our International and Business Development Study Groups. The book explains how people from different countries vary in their styles of knowledge dissemination, personal interaction, placing each country on a continuum for communication clarity, directness communication, membership of negative feedback, and half a dozen other facets of doing business. Knowing where you are on the continuum and where another culture is in relation to you can help you calibrate your development, student perspective and expectations, thereby avoiding misunderstandings and ruffled feathers. interaction, community and One of the goals we have for our Section this year is to strengthen relations with our SPE Sister society outreach, innovation, to the South, the Mexico Section. As you surely have heard, Mexico is opening up for business after revamping its energy legislation to allow foreign companies to participate. According to The and more. ... I appreciate Culture Map, Mexico’s culture differs from American culture in significant ways, so being aware your dedication to serving of these aspects and conducting business accordingly will make it much easier to get things done.

Randy Keller, J. M. Hills, and Rabah Djeddi, 1980, pp. 105-111 in: Trans Pecos Region (West Texas), Dickerson, P. W.; Hoffer, J. M.; Callender, J. F.; [eds.], New Mexico Geological Society 31st Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 308 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1980 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
