The Lafayette Chapter of the American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE) has elected its 2018-2019 board and committee members. Members from oil and gas operator and service companies volunteer to serve as members of the AADE board to support drilling education in multiple forms to benefit both industry professionals and students.

Officers for each AADE chapter are nominated and elected by its general membership. The 2018-2019 elected officers for the AADE Lafayette Chapter are: Kristy Bonner, president, Foster Marketing; Jude Boudreaux, first vice president, Offshore Energy Services, Inc.; Bryan Leger, second vice president, Premium Oilfield Services; Jarrod Suire, secretary, Louisiana CAT; and Sharon Moore, treasurer, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. “Our committed group of officers and committee members are hard at work to deliver value to the AADE Lafayette Chapter membership by offering informative speakers at our monthly meetings and more during the 2018-2019 session and beyond,” said Kristy Bonner, president of the AADE Lafayette Chapter. “If you haven’t attended an AADE general meeting recently, you are missing out on discussions on important trends in the oil and gas industry.”

The 2018-2019 steering committee tasked with guiding the organization’s efforts includes: Al Wambsgans, steering committee chairman, DC International; Craig Castille, HWCG LLC; Rick Farmer, Double R Resources; Bruce Jordan, Stokes & Spiehler; Alden Sonnier, FDF (Francis Drilling Fluids); Jeffery Svendson, Advanced Logistics, LLC; and Rick Voth, Blackhawk Specialty Tools.
