PRESIDENTS LETTER

 

Bad apples in the courthouses? 

OCAPL is getting reports of field Landmen behaving badly in various courthouses in our state.  I’ve asked for specific names of these people, and I implore those employing brokers, and lead brokers to be sure and visit with your people and make sure they are all adhering to proper courthouse etiquette.  In many cases all the public sees of our land profession are those field Landmen, and they are also ambassadors for our industry.    

Reminders: 

 The Oklahoma University PLM / Energy Management Program celebrates the 50th anniversary April 18 and all friends and alumni of the school should look forward to attending if possible.   

Really need help finding OCAPL office space we can own, instead of rent, and to upgrade the OCAPL Website. 

Soon each member will have an opportunity to complete a computer generated survey, with many questions for the membership to literally vote on, or otherwise opine.  Since my last letter, I’ve had zero responses from the membership with suggestions for questions to be polled.  Please be thinking of questions that OCAPL could include in such a survey, e-mail them to me at ken.wilpitz@dvn.com  and let’s try and resolve some of these questions . . .

Many Thanks....

 OCAPL sponsored a very successful new social function labeled the “Girls Night Out”  scheduled the evening of February 12th    (of course, the Boys were invited) this serious attempt to provide the OCAPL Female membership with a social function just for them and of their choosing was quite a success with almost one hundred attendees.  OCAPL is forming a committee to find other venues more suitable for our female membership.

 Thanks to Dana Murphy, our February OCAPL Monthly Meeting speaker.  I enjoyed meeting Dana and she seems well qualified and quite passionate about becoming Oklahoma’s next Corporation Commissioner. 

 Ryan Coe closed a deal with the downtown Skirvin, to bring our monthly meetings to the grand old hotel.  Last month was our first meeting, a few kinks to iron out but I think the attendees for the most part had a great time.  OCAPL is looking for additional sponsors for this meeting. 

 Thank you.

 Respectfully,

 Ken Wilpitz

 2008 OCAPL President
