Imagine a calm hot day in California or a cold day in Texas, what do they have in common? With the impending energy shortage (natural gas and oil) and the inability of green energy to step up, can todays’ energy professionals use their historically proven talents to innovate and deliver? On November 12th Ron Auflick will look at the oil industry using his 40 + year perspective and share ideas on where the energy industry has to go. Innovations advancing the shale revolution into territories where stimulation is banned will be one of the key take away from his offerings. Additionally the emerging love of geothermal will be dissected. Can existing oil and gas wells be converted to geothermal? See how focusing the talents of today’s oil professionals may be the key to growth in geothermal.
Ron Auflick is a Casper based engineer that has over 41 years of diverse domestic and international experience. Some of you may have attended previous SPE short course he taught (2010 and 2015). Focusing on directional, horizontal and extended reach drilling, Ron has been directly involved in hundreds of unconventionals in 10 states and some 31 countries including the current world record ERD wells. Departing from Oil & Gas, in 2021 he partnered with three other oil professions and now is focused on geothermal. Ron has authored papers or given presentations for PAW, WGA, SPE, AADE, Wyoming Oil & Gas Fair, American OIL & Gas Reporter, Oilfield Review, and for American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Ambient Seismic Imaging – Optimizing Reservoir Recovery
The Wyoming Oil and Gas Fair is pleased to present Jeffrey Eppink as a speaker for the Wyoming Oil & Gas Fair Virtual Series event. This webinar will focus on Ambient Seismic Imaging that creates 3D maps of fluid flows within reservoirs. This technology can help maximize the efficiencies of secondary and tertiary recovery programs, optimize completions in unconventional reservoirs as well as monitor the effectiveness of carbon storage efforts.
Ambient Seismic Imaging (ASI) can continuously map, in four dimensions, areas with high fluid flow within a reservoir. Using ASI, operators can see, with high-resolution mapping, how injection fluid is moving through a reservoir in almost real time. This ability provides an outstanding opportunity for operators to continuously monitor fluid movements during improved or enhanced recovery efforts and to make adjustments accordingly to maximize a program’s effectiveness. Additionally, ASI can help optimize drilling locations by accurately mapping fracture patterns and can help to monitor and evaluate carbon storage projects.

Jeffrey Eppink has over 40 years of experience in international and domestic energy including oil, gas, carbon capture, utilization and storage, geothermal, biomass, wind, solar and coal. Complementing his technical and analytical skills, Jeffrey has a strong reputation for insightful, unbiased analysis and assessment, often in support of energy policy for public and private clients. He has been highly involved in technology development for the energy industry.
He has managed or worked on projects in over 35 countries. He has given numerous presentations to senior industry executives and government officials and has provided testimony and presentation to the US Congress and the White House on energy issues. He is registered as a geologist and a geophysicist in California and as a geologist is Wyoming. He is a member of the Explorers Club.
Jeffrey worked for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Chevron Overseas Petroleum and has been an American Association for the Advancement of Science Diplomacy Fellow below establishing Enegis, LLC. He has a BS in geology from California Polytechnic, an MS in applied geophysics from the University of Southern California, and an MBA from Virginia Tech.
He has been presented with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award by Marquis Who’s Who.
About the Wyoming Oil & Gas Fair
Now in its 25th year, the Wyoming’s Oil and Gas Fair has brought industry leaders together to promote the very best in the oil and gas industry in Wyoming. In a world with many unknowns, rapidly shifting economic conditions, and an ever-changing regulatory environment, the landscape for the oil and gas industry is as it has never seen before.
As the event organizers, the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute’s goal this year is to offer Wyoming’s oil and gas industry a premier virtual conference event. Wyoming’s Oil and Gas Fair commits to educate, engage, and mobilize industry and state leadership to help identify problems and solutions in order to blaze a path forward and actively shape Wyoming’s energy future.
