Goodbye - Hello - Staying in touch, Huge Turnout for Dr. Don Paul presentation, LNG - Oil - Hydrogen


Dear Colleagues,

You are reading my final Chair’s message as the Section Chair for the LA Basin SPE. I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve and inform the LA Basin for the past four years. Starting after our summer break, Mr. Ian Johnecheck will assume the role of Section Chair. Ian has previously contributed as Vice Chair and chair of the Young Professionals committee. Professionally, he has been extensively involved in local projects with SoCalGas and other oil & gas companies, bringing a wealth of experience and dedication to his new role.

This week, we enjoyed a presentation by Dr. Don Paul on "The Future of the California Oil Industry," which drew 35 attendees—a turnout we haven’t seen in years for an in-person technical luncheon event. Additionally, our annual board appreciation lunch was well-attended by almost the entire board, reflecting the strong commitment and unity of our team.

As I move on from this role, I invite you to stay connected and follow my ongoing contributions to our industry through my LinkedIn profile: Andrew S. López on LinkedIn. I will continue to engage with the energy industry’s evolving landscape and plan similar monthly summaries on my LinkedIn page. Now, let's turn our attention to some of the latest global dynamics affecting our industry.
