Meetings
Data Workshop, 19-20 October 2015, Boulder, CO
Spring 2015 Measurements in Oil and Gas Production Regions Agenda
This workshop to discuss results from oil and gas related field measurements includes participation from SONGNEX and the groups that were making measurements at the same time in the Four Corners area, the JAGUAR study in the Uintah Basin and the Denver Julesburg basin. The purpose of the workshop is to stimulate analysis of data from the various field missions in oil and gas production regions this spring, to compare notes before initial results are presented at the AGU Fall Meeting, and to foster collaborative research.
