My elemental joys are missing since you left-
the scent of wild roses,
the taste of favored dishes,
the touch of soft rain on my face.
Naturally, I believe they are clinging to you.
Until you return,
at least please send back the spicy sent of
wild roses.

Paint company Valspar names Gary Hendrickson new CEO
Friday, February 18, 2011
Valspar Corporation, which specializes in the paint and coatings industry, recently announced that current president Gary Hendrickson will succeed William Mansfield as the company's new
chief executive officer (

According to the news provider, the changes will take effect June 1 and the 62-year-old Mansfield will remain the company's chairman.
"Gary and I have worked closely together in developing Valspar’s long-term strategy for growth," Mansfield said in a company release. "His exceptional record of success as president and chief operating officer, extensive international experience and in-depth knowledge of the global coatings industry make him an outstanding choice for CEO. Gary’s appointment results from the Board’s longstanding succession planning process."
The 54-year-old Hendrickson has reportedly been president and chief operating officer (COO) since 2008 after initially joining Valspar in 1994. He has held a number of different positions with the company during his tenure, including head of its Asia Pacific business, the news source said.
Prior to joining the company, Hendrickson spent 11 years in the U.S. Navy.

Company secrets aside, makers of laundry detergents, shampoos, toothpaste, and other personal care products can come clean with Stepan Company. Surfactants, the company's largest sector by far, are chemicals most commonly used as cleaning agents used in consumer products like detergents, toothpastes, and cosmetics. Stepan's surfactants are also used in commercial and industrial applications ranging from emulsifiers for agricultural insecticides to agents used in oil recovery. The company also makes phthalic anhydride (an acid used in making polyester resins) and other polymers, as well as specialty chemicals for food and pharmaceutical uses. Chairman F. Quinn Stepan and his family own about 16% of the company.

Excerpt:
H. L. Hunt may have been the dynasty’s founder, but the successor generations were in some ways more industrious and imaginative. Bunker Hunt’s 1961 discovery of Libya’s Sarir oil field most likely made him the world’s richest private individual (on paper, anyway), until the Qaddafi regime nationalized his holdings, in 1973. Lamar Hunt spearheaded the creation of the American Football League. In September 1982, when
Forbes magazine published its first list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, the Hunt family claimed 5 of the top 10 spots. Margaret was No. 4, Caroline was No. 5, Lamar was No. 8, Herbert was No. 9, and Bunker was No. 10. In 1983 the family settled into its new headquarters, Thanksgiving Tower, a smoked-glass, 50-story Dallas office building, paid for in cash.

Excerpt:
Pre-Discovery
In 1957, the Libyan government granted Concession 65 to
Bunker Hunt, an independent oil producer from
Texas. By 1960,
BP had assumed a 50% interest in C-65 and became the operator. After large discoveries in the Sirte Basin in 1958 and 1959, a
reflection seismology survey was conducted on C-65, followed by an
aeromagnetic survey showing the existence of large structures. Later that year, BP began drilling in C-65, 80, and 81, targeting Paleocene and Cretaceous carbonates that had yielded discoveries in the Nasser (
Zelten), Defa,
Raguba field, and Bahi fields.
Mobil discovered Cretaceous basal sand at Amal in 1959, but early results did not recognize its full potential.
Before drilling the C-1-65 well, BP drilled six tests to basement in C-65, 80, and 81. None had high hydrocarbon shows. Eocene, Paleocene, and Cretaceous carbonates were generally freshwater bearing, and basement highs were draped in Late Cretaceous shales. There were occasional redbed vestiges at the shale-basement contact and
bitumen veining. Many wells proved expensive due to lost circulation in Paleocene-Cretaceous carbonates and caving in underlying Late Cretaceous shales. This was so severe that the Sarir field was nearly bypassed because oil was not anticipated in the
Nubian Formation. However BP's chief
geologist insisted a basement core be taken in every well. This turned out to be a good decision, since C-1-65 was subsequently shown to be a prolific reservoir with initial production rates of 20,000 bbl/d (3,200 m
3/d).
[2]
[edit] Discovery
For years BP avoided using
gas detectors on its
oil platforms, citing numerous false alarms. However, in 1961, Baroid was hired to set up gas detectors on BP's Libyan wells. C-1-65 gave high readings. This was assumed to be a false alarm, but high readings persisted. Examinations of shale caving samples revealed oil-stained sand grains at the bottom of the plates. 61 m of petroleum play was drilled. The top play in Lower Cretaceous sandstones occurred at 2631 m. On drill-stem tests C-1-65 produced at a rate of 3,900 bbl/d (620 m
3/d).

Often times reservoir and drilling engineers are faced with the decision on how best to construct a well to exploit zones of interest while seeking to avoid drilling problems that contribute to reservoir damage or cause loss of hole. The decision to pursue either UBD or MPD operations is based on the intent of applying the most appropriate technology for the candidate and entails either an acceptance of influx to the surface or avoidance of influx into the wellbore. The merits of each technology will be described to aid in the decision-making process.
