PKD Public Class - May 27th and 28th

Seven students attended the May 27th and 28th class from Centurion Pipeline, Plains Pipeline, Shell Pipeline, and Lubrizol Spediality Products.  Selected comments included the following:

• Very good overall introduction.  Especially enjoyed the geology or oil and gas.
• All new hires should attend this course.  it is important to get a broad overview of pipeline fundamentals instead of just learning a specialized, small portion, of the pipeline information.
