 with Emeritus/Lifetime Member Nomination The Dallas Geophysical Society is
  pleased to announce its intent to nominate Maurice Cox for 
 Emeritus/Lifetime Member status\, recognizing his decades of service\, 
 leadership\, and lasting contributions to the Society and the Dallas 
 geophysical community. Maurice has had a distinguished career in 
 geophysics spanning more than four decades. He received his B.S. in 
 Mathematics from the University of Houston in 1971 and began his 
 professional career with Texaco\, working on seismic acquisition crews as 
 a seismic observer and computer operator. He later managed the seismic 
 processing center Pexcon\, Inc.\, before joining Sun Company and 
 subsequently Oryx Energy\, where he spent more than 17 years in a variety 
 of technical and leadership roles\, including Manager of the Technology 
 Center for Sun E&amp\;P. Within the Dallas Geophysical Society\, 
 Maurice&rsquo\;s impact has been equally significant. He served in 
 numerous executive roles throughout the 1980s and was President of the 
 Society from 1990 to 1991. During his tenure as a geophysical manager at 
 Sun E&amp\;P and Oryx Energy\, he actively encouraged and sponsored the 
 involvement of many geophysicists in DGS\, helping strengthen and grow the
  Society during a formative period. His deep knowledge of DGS history and 
 his commitment to professional engagement remain highly valued. Following 
 his retirement from Oryx Energy in 1992\, Maurice founded Cox and 
 Associates\, partnering with local explorationists to develop prospects 
 and assemble exploration deals. He currently resides in Athens\, Texas 
 with his wife\, Betty\, and continues to maintain strong ties to the 
 Dallas geophysical community. Title:Seismic reservoir characterization for
  expected flow units in a major carbonate reservoir\, Scurry County\, 
 Texas. SACROC Seismic Facies &ndash\; workflow to utilization to value 
 Mike Caputi*\, Kevin Fox (*presenter) ABSTRACT: This study presents an 
 integrated seismic facies and Rock Type Classification workflow applied 
 across the SACROC field in Scurry County. The methodology combines core 
 data\, petrophysical rock typing\, well logs\, and multiple seismic 
 inversion volumes to generate a field‑wide\, data‑driven reservoir 
 characterization. The work addresses limitations of prior 
 interpretations\, which relied on a single seismic volume without well 
 ties and resulted in reduced predictive accuracy. In contrast\, the 
 updated workflow incorporates rock types calibrated to logs and core\, 
 ties 120 wells to seismic attributes\, and propagates facies 
 classifications across seismic volumes. Validation using production 
 behavior\, streamline analysis\, and reservoir pattern geometry confirms 
 the geologic consistency of the model. The resulting interpretation 
 identifies connected high‑ and medium‑quality geobodies\, delineates 
 high‑permeability corridors for improved conformance control\, and 
 enhances harvest planning through high‑quality rock summation mapping. 
 The workflow improves predictions of remaining oil and thin productive 
 intervals and supports reservoir simulation\, edge‑reef exploration\, 
 and CO₂ flood optimization. Overall\, this integrated approach provides 
 a scalable\, efficient\, and predictive reservoir characterization 
 framework that strengthens development planning and performance 
 forecasting for the SACROC asset. The SACROC oil field in Texas is a 
 significant site for CO₂ enhanced oil recovery. Located in Scurry 
 County\, Texas\, the SACROC (Scurry Area Canyon Reef Operating Committee) 
 unit is one of the largest and oldest oil fields in the United States\, 
 covering approximately 56\,000 acres in the Permian Basin. It has been a 
 pioneer in utilizing carbon dioxide (CO₂) flooding technology since its 
 introduction in 1972\, making it a key player in enhanced oil recovery 
 (EOR) efforts. Historical Significance The field has produced significant 
 amounts of oil\, with estimates of original oil in place reaching 2.8 
 billion barrels. Its successful implementation of CO₂ EOR has made it a 
 model for similar projects across the country. Speaker Bios: Mike Caputi 
 Mike Caputi is a seasoned geophysicist with extensive experience in 
 seismic interpretation\, petrophysics\, and geology. He has held senior 
 technical positions at major energy companies&mdash\;including Shell\, 
 EOG\, EnCana\, Range Resources\, Pioneer\, and Kinder Morgan&mdash\;where 
 he characterized reservoirs across the Gulf of Mexico\, the Barnett\, 
 Haynesville\, and Marcellus shales\, as well as both conventional and 
 unconventional systems in the Midland Basin. Mike has also founded and led
  two geoscience consulting firms\, delivering efficient\, high‑quality 
 subsurface interpretation along with advanced seismic and petrophysical 
 support for diverse projects throughout U.S. basins. Kevin Fox Kevin Fox 
 is a staff geophysicist at Kinder Morgan with over 25 years of experience 
 specializing in seismic interpretation and integrated subsurface analysis.
  His work focuses on turning seismic data into actionable decisions for 
 reservoir development\, EOR\, and carbon storage projects. Kevin earned 
 his geophysics degree from the University of Alberta and a petroleum 
 engineering degree from the University of North Dakota\, and he has been 
 an active member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists throughout 
 his career. Sponsors:
