Sandi Rupprecht 2017 NADOA President
Wow, it is already June and the 44th NADOA Institute is just weeks away. We met the first part of June to finalize the plans for Institute and it is going to be a great educational event as well as entertaining. With an extra day of classes, we are hoping to see more of you attend for the “extra bang for your buck”. As you will see from the classroom matrix in this edition, we have a full array of topics and knowledgeable speakers on tap for you. It has been a big job but Kelly Sandoval and Yoli Bazan went above and beyond as the Program chairs to get a good mixture of subjects and speakers. Their job is not over yet as they will still be coordinating rooms and set-ups at the Institute. They also proof the presentation papers for our online journal. This year we are having a Silent Auction for items donated by the Board and Institute Committee members. Items so far include a wine basket donated by Cima Energy, tickets to a Texans football game, an NFL jersey or two from the team of your choice in the size of your choice, NADOA logo sweatshirts and polo shirts and many other items to come. Bring your credit cards, checkbook and we will even take cash if you are the winner of one of the auction items. I would like to encourage you to come stay a few extra days and see the sights and experience the features of Lost Pines. Austin is just a few miles away and has an abundance of things to do and see. Bastrop is a unique little town to visit also. Did you know they have a block designated as a Chicken Sanctuary where the chickens have the right of way? What a place!! Our rate at Lost Pines is a steal: $195 per night including the resort fee, which is usually an additional $36 per night. Rooms were recently costing upwards of $250 per night plus the resort fee. Bring your family, invite your friends, spread the word about the great rates and facilities at Lost Pines. Others are welcome even if they do not attend the Institute. They must register through the NADOA website in order to get our great rates. Guests are also welcome to play in our golf tournament on Wednesday. Our guest player rate is less than the usual rate to play on this magnificent course. See the NADOA website for more information. Finally, we are thankful for all our sponsors and their contributions. Without each and every vendor and company making donations we could not provide you with exceptional conferences and education. I would like to personally thank Steptoe and Johnson, PLLC for their support of NADOA in their sponsorship of the Institute this year. Without their support in providing speakers and covering all their expenses, we would not be able to continue to offer such outstanding education at our Institutes. See you “Deep in the Heart of Texas” for our 44th Institute.
Sandi

Greetings:
We are currently setting up the details for our 2017 NADOA Annual Institute, which is being held September 6 - 8 at Lost Pines Resort, Bastrop, TX. The Institute’s speakers provide an excellent education opportunity for all attendees. The importance of the annual NADOA Institute and the opportunities that it provides to those who attend is invaluable. Attendees will meet with fellow professionals, which will further provide industry awareness and set the standard for what is to be expected of a Division Order Analyst. As you know, we rely on the generosity of our corporate sponsors each year to help bear the great financial burden of putting on the Institute. Without these donations, the Institute would not be possible. Therefore, we are asking for your help in sponsoring our 44th Annual NADOA Institute. These donations go towards the cost of our speakers, hospitality functions, administrative costs, door prizes and much more. The financial support helps reduce the cost to all attendees as well. We truly appreciate and are grateful to each and every corporate sponsor regardless of the donated amount. All sponsors will be given recognition as to their contribution to the Institute. In order to become a corporate sponsor of this year’s Institute, please read and complete the donation form. Return the form as directed, along with your contribution, as soon as possible.
If you would like more information regarding the Institute please visit our website:
http://www.nadoa.org
To guarantee your sponsorship will be given proper credit in the Institute’s materials, we ask that we receive your contribution by August 10, 2017. Thank you for your time and we hope to see you in September.

Lost Pines Resort NADOA 44TH Annual Institute September 6-8, 2017
WELCOME to Bastrop, deep in the heart of Texas. Bastrop is located just 23 miles from bustling Downtown Austin. As soon as you turn off TX-71 East and onto Hyatt Lost Pines Road, the winding road begins to transport you to a wilderness retreat surrounded by the scenic Bastrop State Park and the tranquil Colorado River. When you arrive you immediately begin to feel at home. The fresh air and sweeping porches decorated by rocking chairs invite you to come and stay awhile. Meandering through the property you will easily stumble upon several restaurants for every palate. Stories is Lost Pines’ signature steak house. They have a farm-to-table menu. They use fresh herbs and vegetables picked from their very own garden. Shellers Barrelhouse Bar is a hopping place. It is wonderful for a quick bite before heading to the pool or meeting up with friends. If you don’t want to eat inside, then Old Buck’s Place will serve what you most crave poolside. Check out Firewheel Café, Major Neighbors Grill, McDade’s Emporium and Ice Cream Saloon, Tiny’s Range House or Scribes Club. There is so much to explore. After an evening of catching up, make your way just outside of the Shellers Barrelhouse Bar to the large firepit where every evening you can enjoy making s’mores under the Texas stars. Registration begins on Wednesday from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m. We can’t wait to officially welcome everyone to this Year’s Institute at the President’s Welcome and Steptoe & Johnson PLLC Appreciation Reception at the Pecan Terrace from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m. This rustic and peaceful setting is the backdrop for another educational year for NADOA. We are taking time at this year’s Institute to commemorate excellence in education by celebrating 30 years of
our CDOA program. Educating our members is a founding principle for NADOA. The Program Committee has been hard at work putting together a dynamic, relevant, high quality educational program for our members. Please check out the Institute Program listed in this magazine. The speaker papers will be available to attendees prior to Institute. With so many great topics this year, have fun planning your best strategy. Don’t forget to pack a sweater if you tend to get chilled in the classroom. After a day of awesome education on Thursday, be ready to cut loose for a Night under the Texas Stars. Come hungry and ready to enjoy some truly amazing food. There will be plenty of time to mingle and catch up and play some games with new and old friends. Don’t forget your dancing shoes because you won’t want to miss the band this night! The average temperature is in the low 90 degrees during this time of year. Some years it has dropped into the 70’s. Check the weather and pack accordingly. Bear in mind that the hotter it is outside, often times the cooler it is inside. You don’t want to miss this year’s Institute. Hotel Reservations can be made through the NADOA website at www.nadoa.org . The room rate for Institute attendees is $195.00 per night, no resort fee, free self-parking. The deadline for making your hotel reservation is August 11, 2017. Be sure to check out the rest of the Magazine as all of the committees have been hard at work and have great information they would like to pass on to you. We look forward to seeing each of you in September!

LADIES AND GENTS IT IS TIME! ARE YOU READY TO GET AWAY?
United Airlines – While booking online use the Z code ZY6X and you will receive your 2% discount https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/ reservations/default.aspx Not to be a downer, but if you fly in you need to have some prearranged transportation. As of the beginning of June, Austin does have Lyft, Uber and Ride. Super Shuttle is also available, or you can take advantage of the group rate we have with Avis! All you need to do is call 1-800-331-1600 and use the AWD# D447131 to obtain the Avis discount. For those of you planning to make this a mini- vacation, this rate is available 7 days before the meeting and 7 days after the end date so we have you covered! The resort is only 15.4 miles away from the airport so it is a short commute! Just remember, when you are ready to depart you will need to pre-arrange transportation and be aware this may cause some delay (30 to 40 minutes), so please be prepared. The resort does not provide any transportation options of its own; however, upon check-in you may request a card to arrange for departure. Fortunately for those that are driving self-parking is free at the hotel, which is fantastic for those of us within driving range! Valet parking is $30 per day and includes in and out privileges. Daytime parking for an event is $15 per day. Houstonians: If you are driving in from Houston, you have two possible routes. You can take US-290 through Brenham. This route will take you approximately 2 hours and 24 minutes, but beware of traffic on this route when leaving on Friday! I have been warned it FOR THOSE WILLING TO ENJOY A ROAD TRIP WE WELCOME YOU!
It really is down to the wire and I gotta ask you “ARE YOU READY”??????? I know I am!!!! I need to get out of town, kick up those heels for a little while, and get away! It is time to firm up those flight confirmations and check your routes. Are you going to take your time and enjoy some of the great Texas sites--maybe stop in Salado for some fabulous art and jewelry (one of my personal favorites) or possibly hit the outlet malls outside Austin? Or are ya heading to Lost Pines full steam ahead, pedal to the metal, so you can kick back, relax, get a drink in hand and let loose? Either way we are ready for you!
(Salado – The Shopping on Main)
FLYING It is time to book those flights! Remember, if you are flying, we recommend you arrange travel into the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and check into the discounted rates provided by Southwest and United Airlines as detailed below. Southwest – Book through SWABIZ.com and add company # 99796406 https://www.swabiz.com/ There was a temporary outage, however that has been fixed!

can be a booger, so beware….maybe use this as an excuse to stay an extra night! Nudge-nudge, wink- wink! The second route is to head towards San Antonio on Katy Freeway/I-10 then North towards Austin/ La Grange TX-71. If you opt for this route it should take about 2.5 hours dependent on traffic. Now don’t forget to stop in Brenham and enjoy a Real Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor which has all the regular eats and also features pies and cakes! This lovely place is called Must be Heaven and is a must have on the way in or maybe on the way home!
business; but beware it is a very busy tourist stop, so arrive early!!!! They open at 9:00 am!
San Antonians: Well you lucky folks have the shortest drive of them all, just a lovely 1.5 hour road trip North on 35, then you head towards TX-21/TX-80 Lockhart/Luling/Bastrop. This drive is mainly on two lane roads but is not a bad drive at all. I highly suggest you take a pit stop at the City Market in Luling, which was rated one of the 10 top barbeque places in Texas and is worth the stop!
Dallasites: If you are driving from Dallas, I feel for you, I am very familiar with that route. You will be on 35 heading South all the way to Temple and then you can head off into the landscape going towards TX-95. This Eastward trek may help with the 3.5 hour drive you have to reach the resort destination. Just remember in West is the famous Kolache Stop which always makes for a nice break and a snack, and then you have the FAMOUS Collin Street Bakery in Waco, which carries everything from sandwiches and salads to every cookie you could imagine and then there is THE FRUIT CAKE. Now, I am not a fan of fruit cakes but I will make an exception for this place! Then, if you are a Fixer Upper fan as myself you may want to stop by Magnolia Market at the Silos which is open for
Now get to prepping and you better start making your list for packing! I am sure Tamara already has hers going; including some must have Yorkie slippers! She really does have some! As for me, when it comes to packing, I’m a last-minute things will fall into place packer, as I simply bring the entire closet! Thank goodness for the short drive and a big car! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

CDOA – Celebrating Certified Career Excellence for 30 Years In honor of the 30th Anniversary of the CDOA program there will be special recognition at this year’s Institute for all CDOAs in attendance. You don’t want to miss this NADOA milestone! Calling all CDOAs: NADOA wants to recognize you for your achievement and would love to have a picture of you, whether you are attending Institute or not. Please send photos to Chris Tucker at administrator@nadoa.org
I am proud to have followed in the footsteps of my mother, Kathy Brewer. If you have been in the industry for more than 25 years, you may even remember her. Kathy was one of the first Certification Committee members, and edited the first CDOA manual along with the first supplement. As a child of the business, I have begun to realize with all of the changes to our beloved industry, much of the Division Order Analyst’s work is still the same as it was 30 years ago. In days gone by, Divisions of Interest (“DOI”) were fairly straightforward and were for vertical wells with only a few tracts. The formulas would be written out by hand and added up on a 10-key calculator. The paper would be taped on the DOI, and it was a nightmare if you had to start all over because it added up to a little over or a little under 1.0000000. Today, we have excel and thanks to horizontal drilling in subdivisions, our DOI can have over 1,000 tracts. But when we discuss the principles of the work itself, it’s not all that different. Likewise, when we discuss the Certification Committee, she laughs about how we are still facing the same questions as were debated in its early stages. What is a Division Order Analyst and how do the job duties vary between small and large companies? What value should the CDOA designation have? She and I have the same thoughts. The CDOA sets the standard. It is akin to being a CPA or passing the Bar for our field. Attaining this designation is something for which every analyst should strive, but it should not indicate what job duties an analyst currently has. Rather, the CDOA signifies that the individual has a broad knowledge of the industry. This person can step into any role and learn the intricacies for a specific geographic area. In her and my opinion, the CDOA should understand the basics of Division Order work. This person should be able to identify the different interest types and be able CDOA – A family legacy By: Eli Murray, CDOA
to properly calculate the interests. The CDOA should understand that title and unitization standards differ on a state-by-state basis, but they should learn the minutiae for the area they are working. Also, the CDOA should be able to use their designation to build relationships with peers at other companies and to gain confidence from other departments within their own company. The CDOA label also helps validate the ethical standards and ensures our reputation as Division Order Analysts is above reproach. In addition to having her as a wonderful mother, she has been an incredible mentor. She ingrained two points in my head and I want to pass these on to our organization. The first, never stop learning. One of the brilliant points of certification is it forces an individual to receive constant exposure to new issues within the industry. The second, fractions tell a story. Even though we predominantly use decimal interests, I can look at a fraction and tell you that 1/2*1/3*1/2 is probably an heirship interest where the original owner had two kids, one of whom had three kids, and my owner is one of two. It’s not always accurate, but start looking at the attorney’s fractions and see if you can piece together the story. The one point I would pass on, learn to hand write and calculate formulas. Today, we have lost the true art of calculations thanks to “Mr. Excel”. We put a lot of trust in the technology of today, our excel spreadsheet. While excel is an excellent tool, I give a word of caution, if our successors don’t learn where to gather the necessary information for a calculation, we may end up with bad formulas and bad decimals. The CDOA is stronger today than it was yesterday and its importance will only grow in years to come. I don’t know that my two red-headed boys will enter the oil and gas industry or attain the CDOA designation, but I certainly hope this legacy will continue.
