| The Houston Research Center's 10th Anniversary Celebration and CoreFest, held on May 9th, was a resounding success. Dozens of industry representatives and HRC supporters enjoyed an afternoon of viewing historic core material, touring the vast core warehouse, listening to presentations on the value to oil and gas exploration of maintaining a core repository, and learning about new technologies for core analysis. Dr. Scott Tinker also honored the many past donors to the HRC, including big contributors BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Occidental Petroleum. |
 The Bureau paid tribute to its own at the annual UT Staff Service Awards luncheon on May 8. More than 90 researchers, staff, students, visiting scientists, and alumni were recognized for their contributions during the past year.
