A: I have struggled to learn all the rules of probate in Texas but having a great team to help mentor and train me has made all the difference. Q&A with a Veteran Division Order Analyst Colleen Harlan, CDOA Lead, Division Orders Encana Services Co Ltd Q: How long have you been doing DO work? A: I have worked in the oil and gas industry for 24 years, 18 of those have been spent doing DO work. I started in revenue accounting and was promoted into DO work, which was a smooth transition since the two groups need to work so closely together.

Dalworth recently hosted their Spring(ish) Seminar held at the offices of XTO Energy in Downtown Ft Worth. We kicked off the seminar with a panel discussion covering the various processes and procedural differences between small, medium and large companies. Topics ranged from various geographic assignments to cradle to grave well setup vs division of duties (setup/ maintenance) and also how other non-DO duties come to be worked by a DOAnalyst. Next up was Paul Strickland who covered Louisiana Succession, Usufruct, & Small Estate Succession procedures. Classes were also taught by our own Eli Murray who covered calculations and building a DOI with and without payouts. Eli’s clever presentations worked in various movie references to keep our attendees engaged and entertained.Thankfully we had lunch afterwards to give our brains a rest. Our lunch
