Experience:

Professional geoscientist and engineer with over 25 years of exploration and production experience in both large and small corporate environments, with several years as a private consultant. Experienced in research, development, authoring, and presenting technical papers at both national and regional geological conferences. Primarily focused on the development and implementation of advanced reservoir characterization techniques with emphasis on 2-D geological mapping and 3-D geocellular modeling. Proficient in various UNIX and PC based computer systems. Experienced software programmer, using Fortran and C programming languages. Specialized expertise in geo-statistical analyses, fluid dynamics, landsat imagery analysis, and computer graphics.

Contributed to several multi-disciplinary asset management teams as an expert consultant for advanced reservoir characterization strategies. Honored as a member of the corporate exploration "Team of the Year" for development of advanced geo-statistical techniques used in modeling recently discovered central Arabian hydrocarbon reservoirs. Received an AAPG special recognition and a Landmark Worldwide Exploration Forum outstanding paper award for work in advanced modeling techniques.

While supporting an asset management team directive, coordinated corporate efforts to increase interaction between geologists and petroleum engineers. Assisted engineering teams in modeling water movement simulation and the recovery of by-passed oil. Provided specialist consultation for the implementation of virtual reality and mixed reality in the exploration and production environment.

Was responsible for three geological support units and supporting geologists in exploration, reservoir development, hydrology, and cartography. Prepared the multi-million dollar yearly operating plan and the budget for computer hardware and software support of the exploration and reservoir geology activities, including the acquisition, implementation, and maintenance of all exploration and reservoir geology computer software.
