Changes to the Home Page

We have made several changes to the Home Page. Let me know what you think.

Sabrina Jones is our new tech support person. You can contact her at energyprospectus@gmail.com with any questions about your account or the website.

Since Kim Tran left us to go to work for Energy XXI last June, I have gone through three tech support people. Sabrina is our 5th tech person in less than a year. She is going to be great! She is new stay-at-home mom and this "gig" fits her schedule.

Please help us grow EPG by attending our luncheons and inviting guests. A high percentage of guests that attend the luncheons end up joining. You can also help by forwarding our newsletter to your friends.

I am working on updated profiles for EOG and GTE today.

Profiles assigned to interns: GPOR, FXEN, EPM, NFX, CRK, XEC, Petrobank, PetroBakken, Petrominerales, MMP, EPD, VNR

Good move with Sabrina. Given today's comm capabilities, I am not sure why more companies don't take advantage of 'working from home moms'.

I agree with you 100%. When I was the USE&P Division Controller at Hess (more than 12 years ago), I suggested that many of our accounting clerks could work from home but top management would not go for the idea. They just could not bring themselves to trust employees, even though I said we could easily monitor their work by counting transactions processed.

I think the time wasted driving back and forth to work (especially in Houston) is insane. I spent an average of two hours per day on the road when I worked downtown. If more companies treated employees like adults and let them work from home we could reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions, reduce traffic load and increase quality of life. We just need more "out of the box" thinking.
