The Soiree Special Guest this week is Ed Benton, Independent Petroleum Engineer.

Why is Ed Benton smiling so much? You'd be smiling too if you were in the oil business at $55 a barrel!

To contact Ed:

Ed reminds me of Thurston Howell III in his crisp white slacks and navy blue polo shirt! Must be tea time soon!

When Ed Benton speaks BIG people listen. The fate of millions of dollars, years of planning, jobs and careers are on the line, and the future of entire companies depend on Ed's council. It's a wonder he can sleep at night.

GULF COAST STORM - Perhaps this is one reason oil costs so much or considering the risks and expense perhaps we are fortunate oil costs so little!

Ed is engaged in the activities of Management, Engineering, and Computer Consulting in the energy industry. After a 4 year employment with Gulf Oil Corporation, Ed has had a 30+ year consulting engineering practice which has involved the evaluation, drilling completion, and production of hundreds of onshore and offshore wells in most regions of the United States.

Ed graduated Tau Beta Pi, Pi Epsilon Tau & Sigma Tau, (Engineering Honors) with a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Oklahoma (1970-71). He also has a Masters of Business Administration from Oklahoma City University (1973). He is a registered professional engineer in the State of Oklahoma. Professional memberships include the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

It is with great pleasure that Ed Benton, Independent Petroleum Engineer, will be my Special Guest this week.
