| BRAMMER EMPLOYEES SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER AT VOA LIGHTHOUSE
|
One of the highlights during the Christmas season for everyone at Brammer is hosting the annual Christmas party for the children at the Volunteers of America Downtown Lighthouse here in Shreveport. Although we were not able to host our typical fête this year, we still wanted to spread some holiday cheer and do something special for the children. So, Brammer employees came together and packed goody bags full of treats and donated games in order for the students to have a surprise after school! We sure did miss seeing the joy on their faces and hope circumstances allow us to host a Christmas party next year. The VOA is an organization Brammer has long supported and challenging times hit charities even harder, please remember those organizations that you hold important during this time of year.

| REGULATORY SERVICES ON DEMAND
|
Often our industry assumes that Brammer Engineering only provides its supplemental services to those clients for which we contract operate. That is a fair assumption but not an accurate one. We provide all our services to the industry on a one-off cafeteria plan basis as well.
Our regulatory services are a prime example. Currently we are providing regulatory services associated with over 600 drilling, completing or producing wells that we don't contract operate. Those services are provided for Aethon, Crescent Pass Energy, TGNR (Castleton Resources), Zarvona Energy and others. We perform these services on demand or on a longer-term basis as best suits the client.
Brammer Engineering, Inc. has the expertise necessary to guide clients through all regulatory processes throughout the entire life cycle of a well. Everything from the initial set up as an operator in any given state, to permitting to drill or permitting to plug, can be efficiently and cost-effectively handled by Brammer's regulatory staff. Our long-standing relationship with various state agencies allows us to work closely with them to manage our clients' regulatory needs. A few of the areas in which Brammer Engineering, Inc. can assist are:
- Annual Organization Reports
- Drilling Permits
- Completion Filings
- SWD/Injection Wells - Permitting & Annual Reporting
- All Production Reporting - Monthly, Semi-Annual, & Annual
- Production Allocations
- Cross Unit Filings - Permitting, Completion, & Monthly Production Reports
- Commingling Applications
Brammer Engineering is uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive regulatory services and process management to its clients. From prospect to producer to P&A, Brammer Engineering can manage your regulatory business so that your time can be spent on your mission and your focus can stay on the horizon. Please reach out to Amanda Wallace at 318-429-2281 or amanda.wallace@brammer.com if Brammer Engineering can be of service with your regulatory needs.

What a year 2020 has been. (Some might not characterize it quite this way!) I started reflecting on the last year and it launched me on a reflection of my forty years in the industry and the tremendously interesting road that I have been blessed to travel. My road is not unlike many of yours who fall into my age group. After graduating from LSU in May of 1980 with my petroleum engineering degree in hand, I reported to work for Shell Oil Company in Houston on June 16, 1980. Immediately out to Ventura, CA for a 4-month training stint. Less than three months into my new job I received my first raise. I'd like to say that it was my exemplary performance but alas it was to keep me on par with the summer graduate hires! Raises of this nature came at Christmas and the following May (1981) for the same reasons. It was $40/barrel oil going to $100 and a seller's market...good fortune (and timing) for me and many others! (Three raises in twelve months is still my personal record 40+ years later!) Two years with Shell in the Pacific Division working offshore California, San Juaquin Valley heavy oil, Sacramento area gas fields as well as the Geysers (geothermal steam) in Northern California followed by two producing platforms in the Cook Inlet, Alaska and a North Slope (Beaufort Sea) exploratory well on an ice island. What opportunities I had (greatly because Shell was losing seasoned engineers at an alarming rate). The oilfield was exploding and opportunities abounded. The summer of 1982 brought me to Shreveport (my birthplace and more importantly, my wife's!). I was blessed with a tremendous opportunity to work for Bob Brammer and Brammer Engineering. I went from a silo mentality at Shell where I focused on one skillset at a time to a much broader horizon working for Bob where I was exposed to the full spectrum of oil and gas operations. Bob had a great way of introducing something new to you, asking a few questions of you to make sure you got the general idea and then throwing you in the middle of it to hone your skills. I learned quite a bit under a man who was one of the finest engineers and people I have ever known. Great memories and great love and respect. Read more from Keith Evans.
