AADE New Orleans Chapter

The American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE) is a non-profit (IRS 501-6C), volunteer organization founded in New Orleans in 1978 and is made up of an affiliation of independent chapters licensed and governed by a National Board. The AADE New Orleans Chapter is comprised of members from the Greater New Orleans area. The chapter generally meets once a month where programs are presented by knowledgeable industry leaders in an informal luncheon or dinner environment. The AADE New Orleans chapter publishes a newsletter and/or maintain a web page (http://www.aade.org/chapters/new-orleans/) to keep members informed on activities and local drilling industry information. The formation of the AADE was based on the fact that no existing drilling industry organization was consistently providing technical exchange specifically for Drilling Engineers. AADE offers a forum for the exchange of information, among its members and guests, specifically on drilling related topics.
