Biography:
David Lewis, Chairman, Blade Energy Partners
David Lewis is currently the Chairman of Blade Energy Partners. He has over 30 years of domestic and international experience in oil & gas exploration and production. He has a management and a strong engineering background in drilling, completions and offshore structures with experience in deepwater, big bore (mono bore) and high pressure - high temperature wells (surface pressures of 25,000 psi and surface temperatures of 450 degrees F). He was with Mobil from 1981 to 2000 and Blade from 2000 to present day. At Mobil he led the development of Mobil’s reliability-based tubular design technology, deepwater floating drilling technology and he developed and taught Mobil’s casing design, floating drilling and advanced mechanics courses for many years. David’s current interests include quantitative risk analysis and reliability-based design, as well as stochastic optimization methods applied to the oil and gas industry. He is very active in API and ISO committee work serving on seven different committees and is the current chairman of API Committees: API 5-EX (Solid Expandables), API RP 16Q (Marine Drilling Risers) and API 16R (Marine Drilling Risers Connectors). He has over twenty five archival publications and patents in various areas of tubular mechanics and structural engineering. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas, and a member of ASCE and SPE. Education includes BS and MS degrees in Civil Engineering from University of Missouri-Rolla and postgraduate doctoral work in finite element methods, continuum mechanics, vibrations and structural dynamics.
Bring a Toy
For December only, the SPE Dallas will be accepting a toy in lieu of payment. Here's how you do it:
1. Register on the website
2. On the payment screen choose payment type "Generate an Invoice (for Check/Cash or Payment Order)"
3. Bring a new unwrapped toy to the meeting (preferably one that costs approximately the same as the lunch).
It's that easy, we encourage everyone to help make a child's Christmas wish come true.
