TOPIC: Frac 101: The Basics of Hydraulic Fracturing with a Perspective on Chemical and Water Usage in California.

Dave Susko returned to California in 2011

with Baker Hughes as the Technical Manager

for West Coast Pressure Pumping. His group

designs stimulations treatments, zonal

isolation solutions and provides other

technical support relating to hydraulic

fracturing, acidizing, and cementing. Since

returning to California, he presented

numerous times on the subject of well stimulation to a wide

variety of audiences including legislators, teachers, students,

regulators, mineral owners, and the general public. In 2015, he

was awarded the SPE Western North America Region Award for

Production and Operations.

Prior to his return California, he was a technical instructor for BJ

Services and Baker Hughes based in Houston. For five years, he

traveled around the globe teaching courses on the subjects of

well stimulation and cementing. During that time, he co-authored

a paper on building and maintaining effective training programs in

today’s evolving petroleum industry.

In 1995, Dave began his career here in Bakersfield as a field

engineer with BJ Services. He spent the first eleven years of his

career fulfilling many engineering and supervisory roles

throughout the West Coast, Alaska, and Rocky Mountain regions.

Community Involvement

API Adopt A Highway

On Saturday April 23rd, 13 volunteers met for the first of two API Adopt-A-

Highway events in 2016. We had breakfast and socializing 7:00am to 8:00am

at the Golden Bull restaurant. Then after a quick safety meeting the volunteers

filled 23 bags of trash in just 90 minutes. After regrouping we determined that

Charlie Johnson found the most unique item, an oversized load sign, and Gary

Watts and his Daughter Alexandra found the most valuable Item, a C and J well

servicing magnetic sign. Thanks to all the participants: Gary Watts, Alexandra

Watts, Coleton Kerley, Hal Bopp, Scott Bender, Yolanda Villarreal, Robert

Villarreal, Jimmy Dean, Charlie Johnson, Casey Knaak, Chris Knaak, Aimee

Knaak.





Once again, the API golf was a great for all of those who came to play and socialize during the

day! We couldn’t have done it without all of the golfers, volunteers, sponsorships, and food and

beverage vendors who came to together to put on this event. A special recognition goes out to

the top teams and individuals at Stockdale Country Club and Sundale Country Club.

FRACTURED — A bold new film from the director of spOILed!

FRACTURED makes the case that virtually every word and phrase we use when we talk about energy

production and consumption is wrong and that these incorrect terms cause people to believe in expensive,

dangerous illusions. “What the Frack,” “Fossil Fuel,” “Alternative Energy,” “Clean Energy,” “Climate Change

Denier,” “Mother Nature”—all of these terms and others cause people to irrationally believe that

traditional energy sources are bad. The film flips these terms and exposes the motivations and hypocrisy of

anti-energy activist groups and outright frauds such as the films GasLand and GasLand II.

The film is produced in the same entertaining, provocative and highly informative way that audiences

appreciated with “spOILed.”

The documentary is shot and we are in the home stretch of editing. We need your help to finish the film

and spread it’s pro-energy message far and wide by participating in the Fractured crowd funding campaign.

We hope you will participate in the crowd fund campaign and tell everyone in your network about this

important film.
