The University of Calgary is pleased to announce the implementation of a new graduate program entitled Masters Specialization in Reservoir Characterization. The Nov. 26th, 2008 Fall Social managed to raise $3147.00 through a silent auction and door ticket sales. A donation on behalf of the CWLS was made to the Canadian Association of Disabled Skiers (CADS) for this amount. The lucky winner of the subsequent tax receipt was Don Zver who coincidentally was also the winner of the $200.00 cash draw.

The CWLS (Canadian Well Logging Society) is the oldest organizations devoted to log analysis, incorporated in Calgary, Canada in 1957. In that time the society has endeavored to produce a technical journal with a Canadian slant. The CWLS is thus an appropriate place for those interested in exploring mineral resources in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, the Canadian Arctic, offshore eastern Canada and southern Ontario.

The society has great support from the petroleum industry with over 30 Corporate sponsors. The CWLS has in turn provided a great deal of support to the petroleum industry. One of our proudest achievements has been a Catalogue of Water Resistivities in sedimentary formations in Canada.

The CWLS holds a Technical Luncheons on the third Wednesday of every month (except in the Summer and February) for the benefit of those interested in log analysis and petrophysics. Notices of the topic of each luncheon are sent to members and posted on this web site.

Currently the CWLS has over 510 members from around the world. Most of the activities of the CWLS are performed by Volunteers. The society would like to thank all volunteers for their time and effort in making the CWLS a success.
