The SAC is back! I had not realized how long it had been since we published this letter. Obviously, lots of changes through 2020 which are now in the rear-view mirror. So, looking forward we have a busy February as you can see below.
The newsletter is not the only thing back. Cheryl is Back! Cheryl Landwehr has rejoined the team as of the first of the year. She is slim and trim and as feisty as ever! She will be focused on working with the sponsors and other supporters. Iliana has moved on to other endeavors, so I want to thank her for her contributions over the last year. Don’t be surprised if she shows up at some of
our events though!
This has been a time of transition for many and that includes us. You will see more virtual events, but we have not abandoned the networking aspects of IADD. Not everyone is comfortable with or able to meet in person, but we will endeavor to take discreet steps forward as we can.
Remember our code word: NITS – Networking, Information, Training and Standards. We still have a lot of work to do, so let’s get drilling!

parallel. It’s postulated that drilling bed parallel in the typical unconventional resource reservoir would lead to improved system reliability as well as reducing the lateral’s tortuosity.
