About PEC Dallas
The club was founded in late 1940 as a result of discussions among various members of the Dallas section of the Petroleum Branch of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. These members wanted to discuss subject matter of technical interest more frequently than that offered by the current regular scheduled AIME meetings. They also wanted to include others engaged in a similar endeavor who were not members of the AIME or could not, for one reason or another, attend the regular meetings. Nature, basically, abhors a vacuum, and thus a vacuum of whatever size was filled and continues to this very day. A forum thus founded has provided a regular basis to meet, discuss, relax for a little while and enjoy the company of peers in similar endeavors, and in so doing keep in touch "with progress" in the Petroleum Exploitation Industry. This club has since its founding been closely aligned with the SPE (of AIME) while maintaining its independence. It has also had a more relaxed, less formal, style than the SPE. In fact, in some respects, it has often behaved as if it were the Bone Head Club equivalent of the petroleum endeavor in Dallas.
