This past Tuesday, March 10th, our chapter had our fourth general body meeting of 2020. We reviewed upcoming events and discussed member responsibilities for the Annual Report. The second half of the meeting was a presentation from Gabe Lemock about the applications of Specialty Reinforced Thermo-Plastic (RTP) in the oil and gas industry. He anticipates that the usage of this material will continue to proliferate the industry and provide solutions to problems that steel or other plastic tubing cannot.

On March 12th, 10 chapter members traveled to Canonsburg, PA to visit Range Resources. Members had the opportunity to be led on a tour by Range Resources Drilling VP, Don Robinson, at an active Marcellus drill site in Washington County. We also, were able to visit a 8 month old production site just a few miles away. Thank you Range Resources for your continued cooperation and contribution to our chapter. Your generosity is much appreciated. Members finished the trip by stopping at Sarris Candies for some old fashioned ice cream courtesy of Aqua Clear Inc.
