Brooks Yates Hosts the "Tuesday Oilmen's Lunch"...

Early meeting, DCC Creekside Room

Brooks Yates of Ventex Oil & Gas had the thought a few years ago to host an informal lunch for fellow landmen in the DFW area at his home club in Highland Park, Texas, the Dallas Country Club. The get-together quickly opened its doors to other professions in the energy sector, i.e. geologists, geophysicists, engineers, financial, etc. So now, every month, the group congregates to "cuss and discuss" the state of the industry and their individual endeavours. Thanks Mr. Yates for a timely and very useful idea!
