Dr. Engler and Veronica Stevenson at the 2007 49'ers Golf Scramble
Veronica (da Costa) Stevenson is GOM / Gulf Coast Production and
Reservoir Manager at Red Willow Production Company, where she is responsible for
overseeing and coordinating partner-operated drilling and production
operations along the Gulf Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. She also
coordinates reservoir engineering, reserves and budgeting for the
operated and OBO properties. Prior to joining Red Willow in 2006, Ms. Stevenson
worked for several exploration and production companies in a variety of
engineering assignments, both domestic and international. As a senior
Petroleum Engineer, she has 29 years extensive experience and a diverse
working knowledge of domestic onshore and offshore oil, gas, and
retrograde gas-condensate reservoirs in Texas and Louisiana,
California, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent basins.
Veronica was very active in the SPE student chapter at New Mexico Tech
during her days as a student. During a time when the industry was
glowing, she actively brought in speakers every month and organized many
fundraisers and activities. She received the highest honor upon
graduation. Several of Veronica's fondest memories include being the
first student to receive the Langdon Taylor Award, and working with Tom
Engler in Field Camp. "We were partners with 2 others," she explains,
"mapping the highest peak of the pick near Taos." Veronica also played a
role in the organization and creation in honoring "Lang," as Veronica
calls him. "And then they turned the tables on me and made me the first
recipient." Veronica is a regular attendee during 49ers weekend. She
always joins the SPE at the golf course to catch up with students,
faculty, and other alums. Veronica has also donated to the SPE student
chapter on a regular basis, and donated to the 2007 Breast Cancer
Fundraiser under the SPE student chapter. Her contribution helped
the SPE bring in the highest donation from a student club, which resulted
in winning a pizza party.
Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering (BS): 1979
Below are some photographs from the late seventies Veronica sent us of the SPE Bong Show -

as Host. The judges were Carl Popp, Gary Olsen and Colleen Mahoney (Meinke):
