Education:

B.S., Geology, Northern Illinois University

M.S., Geology, Northern Illinois University

Experience:

Exploration and development geologist with 25 years of experience working for one major oil company and two independents. Skilled in subsurface mapping, sequence stratigraphy, reservoir modeling, multidisciplinary field studies, 2-D and 3-D seismic interpretation, well-site operations, formation evaluation, economic evaluation, and analyzing reservoir performance. Experienced in clastic and carbonate reservoirs, especially fractured rock. Also experienced in acquisition evaluation, well-site operations, and log evaluation. Geographic areas worked include the Gulf coast, offshore Texas and Louisiana shelf, mid-continent, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Computer skills include Autotrol Geostation, GeoQuest, and Microsoft Office.

Computerized the geologic management of a Texas field in both the exploratory and development horizons. Used the geologic workstation to map the productive Atoka horizons. Assisted engineering in the reservoir management of a Mississippian fractured shale gas play. Performed reservoir modeling and evaluated clastic and carbonate producing formations.

Participated in an offshore Gulf of Mexico evaluation team for acquisitions. Successfully initiated deeper Wilcox development of a field in Texas. Designed and supervised several horizontal wells in the Caddo limestone reservoir in north Texas. Developed a sequence stratigraphic model for the Caddo sandstones to be used with a 3-D seismic program. Presented prospects to management and to prospective investors. Performed independent research and field studies and recommended projects to management for action. Performed well-site operations and well logging. Worked with engineers to evaluate workovers and recompletions.

Developed a geologic framework for the Smackover trend in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Performed well-site operations and well logging. Generated prospects along the central basin platform, eastern shelf, and the southern Midland basin.
