Executive Director's Corner
Fall is finally here and with it is the coming and going of election day (just 5 days away), the ending of campaign commercials (YAY!), and perhaps taking time to reflect on what the outcome of the election means for us as Club 20 members for the next few years. No matter your political affiliation, big decisions are about to be made next week and Club 20 will be on the cutting edge of helping you to engage with our new Governor and to have an impact on the pressing issues we’re facing in 2019. If you haven’t voted yet, please check out our election guide which breaks down the ballot measures in easy to understand language to help voters to be informed. Please feel free to share far and wide with your family, friends, whomever is registered to vote in Colorado.
Here at Club 20 we are already looking to establish our top legislative priorities for the upcoming session (it starts on January 4
th
) to ensure that we are focused and effective in our advocacy efforts. Once finalized, these priorities will be posted on our website and shared with our members so that we are united as one in our efforts to promote and protect the West Slope.
Lastly, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of those folks who have volunteered to serve on the Club 20 Board of Directors. Their role is an integral part of our organization and their guidance and feedback over the next two years will help shape the future for Club 20. We are so excited to work with each of you and are grateful for your service!
I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving and know that we here are Club 20 are couldn’t be more grateful for each and every one of YOU!
Sincerely,
Christian Reece
Club 20 Executive Director

Club 20 Member Spotlight: Brian Skyles

After graduating from Fort Lewis College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and a Minor in Chemistry, I began seeking a career in the field of environmental consulting. My current position of Project Lead and Business Development Associate with HRL Compliance Solutions, Inc. and has developed over the past four years, after initially starting out as a Staff Scientist.
Over the last few years with HRL, the variety of projects I’ve been given the opportunity to work on has continued to change the direction of my future. I continue to enhance my skill sets and qualifications, such as being certified on LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) methane imaging cameras. As greenhouse gas continues to be a topic of concern in the San Juan’s I have had the opportunity to become more of a subject matter expert. I have developed extensive experience in Spill Prevention Counter Control Measures (SPCC), pipeline construction, reclamation oversight, storm water inspection and management, and emergency spill response activities. This also gave me the opportunity to develop my desire to interface with clients and provide exceptional customer service. This has directed me towards more of a Business Development role. By following a path of what I like most in my professional career, I also had the opportunity to volunteer as an elected Vice President on the Energy Counsel Board. This has enabled me to work with extremely knowledgeable people in the gas and oil industry.
Another opportunity within the company is working with HRL’s DragonflyAI team on cutting-edge R&D projects in the UAS world. This division keeps answering our clients “what if” questions by continuously breaking technological ceilings within multiple industries. For example, just within the last year, we have used drones to collect data for existing and proposed pipeline and well pads across the country, collect data and map INSIDE gold mine operations (a service we dubbed “Tunnel Vision™), and fly coal seam fires with live thermal sensors to find surface hotspots that pose environmental and human safety concerns.
HRL has been a member of Club 20 since 2011 although I have only had the opportunity to be involved for just over a year. Club 20 has been a positive influence to meet motivated and engaged people in not just oil and gas industry, but a multitude of additional industries such as ranching, mining, and utility sectors such as water, electric, and solar. I have greatly enjoy discussing the similarities of the obstacles we face in each industry and being a part of the new and innovative solutions that our team develops.
I have lived in Southwest Colorado for the past 17 years and during that time, I developed a love for mountain biking, skiing/snowboarding, rafting and hunting. My experience and love for the outdoors, as well as my desire to impart that passion in my two young children, along with my wife motivates me in my work. I am committed to work toward long-term solutions to the myriad of complications that affect the facets of our community.

Reading:
It’s number one!
By Joyce Rankin
Joyce Rankin is on the State Board of Education representing the Third Congressional District. She writes the monthly column, "
Across the Street"
to share with constituents in the 29 counties she represents.
The Department of Education, where the State Board of Education meets, is located
across the street
from the Capitol. She is also a Legislative Assistant for Representative Bob Rankin.
I pointed out in my July column that teachers have many responsibilities. For example, understanding technology, suicide, depression, mental illness, bullying, drug use and provide sex education, and safe schools. They also monitor breakfast and lunch programs and, oh yes, did I mention math and reading? But if reading and math aren’t the highest priority, how are our Colorado students performing on assessments? According to the 2018 English, Language Arts (ELA), or reading test, we’re not doing well. The Colorado Measurement of Academic Success (CMAS) ELA scores for third graders show that only forty percent are reading at grade level.

Secretary Zinke Applauds President Trump's
Memorandum on
Western Water
The memorandum directs the Department of the Interior and the Department of Commerce to work together to deliver western communities the water supplies they need to irrigate millions of acres of farmland and provide water and power to millions of Americans.
“Water is the lifeblood of any thriving economy, and its importance in the West cannot be overstated,” said Secretary Zinke. “We want to use water in the most practical sense, and make sure our water infrastructure is in world class shape for all uses. Working to get our farms the water they need is key to rural prosperity, and I applaud President Trump for making this key issue a top priority of his administration.”
There is widespread recognition that a 'status quo' approach to the longstanding imbalances in the supply and demand of water will not be effective. Under President Trump, Secretary Zinke and Secretary Ross, federal agencies are taking a proactive approach to tackling the water supply challenges that confront western communities. This has entailed operational changes as well as specific new investments in water and power infrastructure. The active collaboration by Interior and Commerce on the areas described in the Memorandum will position western communities to have the most abundant water and power supplies possible, assuring their place in a secure and prosperous American economy.

Drought Contingency Planning in Colorado
by Chris Treese
In plain terms, the Colorado River Compact of 1922 allocates use of half of the river to the Lower Basin and half to the Upper Basin. But here’s the catch, the Lower Basin states gets its half first. The Upper Basin states get what’s left.
Lake Powell is our principal water savings account. The water it holds is a safeguard for our existing uses of Colorado River basin water in Colorado - and our sister Upper Basin states of Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming. Lake Mead is the primary savings account for the Lower Basin states of California, Arizona and Nevada.
With an on-going drought, overuse in the Lower Basin and warmer temperatures, water in Lake Powell is just 42 percent of capacity. This past year, it plunged more than 30 feet. And Lake Mead levels are even worse. Now in the 18th year of a continuing drought there is an increasing possibility that our Lake Powell savings account may not hold out, and Colorado’s water supplies may be at risk.
Accordingly, the Upper and Lower Basin states are working separate Drought Contingency Plans (DCP) in an attempt to avoid curtailment of Colorado’s water use in order to comply with the Compact and to maintain hydropower production at Glen Canyon Dam. The DCP for Colorado and our Upper Basin neighbors (WY, UT and NM) involves a three-tiered approach:
1.
Reservoir Reoperations:
If Powell continues to drop, release water from Aspinall, Navajo and Flaming Gorge reservoirs to Powell to bolster levels for generating power and to protect against possible compact curtailment. (This is a one-shot action that cannot occur in consecutive years.)
2.
Snowfall Augmentation and Phreatophyte Removal:
This involves the continuation of efforts to augment snowfall through cloud-seeding, and efforts to remove Russian olive and tamarisk, non-native riverbank trees that consume high amounts of water.
3.
Implementation of Demand Management Programs:
In other words, induce water users to reduce their current consumptive use of water so more water may flow to Lake Powell. This piece of the Upper Basin DCP is the most controversial component and involves the most risk for water users on the Western Slope. It also provides the most flexibility – if done right.
The Colorado River District insists that any Demand Management program be a voluntary, temporary and compensated water-reduction program. The River District’s concern is that if we fail to put new and proactive programs in place to address our drought conditions, the kind of buy-and-dry purchases of agricultural properties that we’ve seen on the eastern plains will occur on the West Slope. Not to plan invites disaster.
The District’s first priority is to prevent western Colorado agriculture from becoming Colorado’s sacrifice zone for compact compliance. Because the Colorado River touches every corner of the state, the River District believes that cities, industry and agriculture on both sides of the Continental Divide must share in any sacrifice.
The Colorado River District was created in 1937 to protect western Colorado water. Just like Club 20, our mission is to protect western Colorado as we know it today, rich in agriculture, recreation and environmental values. This is where we choose to live and where many love to visit. There may be a day when we all have to modify our water use in order to save what we cherish, and we think that should only occur with good planning and shared sacrifice.

Chevron’s Rangely operation is one of
Colorado’s longest producing oil fields
by Cary Baird
Chevron has a long, robust history which began when a group of explorers and merchants established the Pacific Coast Oil Company on September 10, 1879. The company’s holdings in Colorado have played an important role in Chevron’s growth to become one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. And Chevron’s Rangely Field is one of the oldest and longest producing in the Rocky Mountain region.
Geology
The Rangely field sits atop the Raven Park Anticline which is located on the far northeastern flank of the Uinta Basin, an ancient inland seaway. The anticline has about 950 feet of structural closure. The Weber (Wee-bur) sandstone thickness averages 700 feet and net productive reservoir thickness varies from 50 to 400 feet thick across the structure. It is the principal reservoir, accounting for the bulk of the field’s production. Sitting at 5,500 to 6,500 feet below the surface—itself at a current-day elevation of 5,300 feet, the Weber is 245-315 million years old and consists of layered fine-grained sandstones deposited in inter-fingered wind-blown and fluvial environments. The unit area covers nearly 20,000 acres in a 4-½ by 10 mile area.
The formation is overlain by other sedimentary units, including the Mancos shale, followed by the Dakota, Morrison, Curtis, Entrada, Carmel, Navajo, Chinle, Shinarump, Moenkopi and Park City formations.
Oil Discoveries
Oil seeps were reported at Raven Park in 1878, and oil was discovered in 1901 in the Mancos shale. The Dakota sandstone was explored in 1924-1928. The Raven A-1 well, drilled in 1933, is credited as the discovery well for the oil reservoir within the Weber sandstone. The well was capped due to poor oil markets during the Depression, but as energy demands of World War II increased the nation’s need for oil, production from the well started in 1943.
A second deep well was drilled in April 1944, and numerous rigs soon began working in the area. In 1948 Chevron built a refinery in Salt Lake City to be the primary recipient of their Rangely crude and supplied it via a 126-mile pipeline. By 1949, the Rangely field contained 478 wells. Production peaked in May 1956 at 82,000 barrels of oil per day.
As production continued, the reservoir pressure began its inevitable drop. In recognition of this, in 1950 operators began re-injecting their produced hydrocarbon gas (for which no market then existed), attempting to slow that pressure decline. The field was unitized in 1957 so that water could be injected to offset the pressure decline and increase oil recovery. By 1959 Chevron, the designated unit operator, had installed a water flood program which quickly expanded fieldwide, and which continued through the late 1980s. In addition, infill drilling to expand water injection and to reduce well spacing to 20-acre patterns began in 1963. Production climbed steadily again, to peak at 58,000 barrels of oil per day in December 1973.
In 1986, Chevron initiated a tertiary recovery program using carbon dioxide (CO2) injection to recover additional oil left behind after waterflood. The CO2 acts like a solvent to wash the oil off the rock in the reservoir and improve the recovery of oil. Water and carbon dioxide flooding are also known as enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
The program expanded in phases through 1990. The result of this program has been to flatten normal production declines dramatically and further extend the economic and operating life of the field in ways that no one could have anticipated in 1933. EOR development has been further expanded into peripheral areas originally considered marginal for EOR investment and via targeted infill drilling. Since 2015, increasing use has been made of automation, new control systems and data analytics to further improve the performance of the CO2 flood, and of the field overall.
Over the years, Chevron has become an integral part of the town of Rangely. The company’s social investment program has benefitted numerous community organizations. In 2018, the company contributed $75,000 to Rangely Schools for the purchase of Chromebooks for all students. Colorado Northwestern Community College, which plays an important role in the region’s educational picture, has awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships thanks to Chevron donations. The CNCC chemistry laboratory is named for Chevron because of the company’s focus on the sciences. Other recipients of Chevron funds include The Tank, Meals on Wheels, the Rangely Outdoor Museum, the food bank, the Rangely Human Resource Council, the fire and law enforcement services in Rangely and Rio Blanco County, Rangely Victim Services, and Western Rio Blanco Recreation and Parks.
