regulatory compliance. February's cover story
examines how the industry is meeting growing
multiphase production challenges through creativity,
investment and economies of scale. The Advancing
Shale Science reports open by detailing U.S. proppant
providers' quest to help operators boost well
performance through both technological solutions
and in-basin natural sand supplies while reducing
bottom-line cost. The Gulf of Mexico Update looks at advanced frac pack
methods for optimizing deepwater well completion efficiency and hydrocarbon
recovery. Association news includes Official Convention Sections for LOGA
