Lean In Luncheon - April 20 Melissa Wood: Talent Wars - Recruiting Women Our industry grapples with a shrinking talent pool driven by unprecedented retirements and intensifying employee-recruitment competition. At the same time, our reputation for being male-dominated, stodgy, inflexible, and slow-moving puts us at a significant disadvantage when competing with more progressive businesses. This is particularly true when it comes to recruiting women. And that means our industry misses out on the advantages of gender diversity. Whether you’re actively seeking to expand the presence of women in your workforce or are seeking a new position, how a company communicates provides vital clues as to whether it has stepped up to shatter the glass ceiling or has a sticky floor. Melissa Wood started Advanta Consulting fifteen years ago when she recognized that incorporating stakeholders’ voices into decision-making at investor-owned utilities, public power, and other organizations would improve their image, reputation, loyalty, and program effectiveness. She has...

Uma Gopaldass: From Cubicles to Boardroom - How Courageous Women are Side-stepping Imposter Syndrome to Get a Seat at the Most Powerful Tables Not too long ago, I was stuck among a sea of mid-management roles in a couple of incredibly wealthy, global, public-listed firms. The more I strove for leadership positions, working myself into a ditch, the more I hit the cinderblock of career advancement caving in on me. Apparently, these positions were never meant for a person like me. What is a person like "me," you ask? It is a person like you - someone hardworking, striving for the best, constantly giving up my personal life to divert more energy into my professional success, articulating very well at performance reviews, doing everything my management wanted, training, learning, training...

Technical Luncheon - March 9 Tien Do: A Proven Fracture Geometry Control Methodology To Prevent H2S Production, Reduce Water Cut And Improve Well Performance In The Williston Basin All are welcome as we join Principal Engineer, Tien Do, Founder and CEO of InDZone Consulting to learn about A Proven Fracture Geometry Control Methodology To Prevent H2S Production, Reduce Water Cut And Improve Well Performance In The Williston Basin In the past decade, increased H2S production from wells has raised health and safety concerns, reduced well economics and become increasingly problematic for operators and midstream service providers. H2S and excessive water production have been identified in the areas where stress barriers in the upper and lower Bakken shales are not sufficient to contain fracture height generated by hydraulic stimulation. As a result, fractures grow into undesired zones that have strong presence of anhydrite to generate large amounts of sour gas. This technical presentation combines many...
