Well Control

Petroleum ETC invites you to attend our third annual Well Control Gulf of Mexico (WellCTRL). This two day event will be held October 22-23, 2008. The goal of this event is to foster interaction and accelerate the exchange of ideas between Well Control Specialists. WellCTRL will identify common Well Control issues in the Gulf Coast Region and plan collaborative action to address those issues. 

Correction: In the email blast sent out on 09/03/08 MMS, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas were listed as a underwriters for this year's event. These organizations are actually supporting organizations. We apologize for the error.
