PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Exploration and exploitation/development experience working for major, midsized and small companies. The first part of my career was mostly geologically driven while the last 20 years has been a combination of geophysical work and geological with the most recent 12 years being predominantly geophysical workstation experience using Landmark, Hampson Russell and Petra programs. Region worked most recently is the South Louisiana Wilcox trend developing drillable prospects in a team environment. Previous areas worked were Offshore G.O.M., Texas and Louisiana both exploitation and exploration. I have previous experience working Offshore Deep-Water Gabon and Onshore Gulf Coast both Texas. Proficient with Landmark (Seisworks, Geoprobe, Syntool, LogM and PostStack) and Hampson Russell (AVOMod, STRATA and EMERGE) also proficient with PETRA software. I also have some experience using SMT, Geoquest and Stratimagic software. I am interested in working in a team environment. I believe collaboration between team members will provide the most thorough and technically sound evaluations. EXPERIENCE

FIELDWOOD ENERGY/QUARTERNORTH ENERGY Geophysical Advisor Houston, Texas July14 -- Present

• Offshore Shelf Field Development Gulf of Mexico. The mapping included potential RC’s, and possible new drills on operated and non-operated blocks in areas west of and including South Timbalier. HILCORP ENERGY Sr. Geophysicist

Houston, Texas February13 – July 14

• Responsible for exploitation/exploration work in South East Louisiana around Venice Dome and adjacent Areas to the south being West Bay and Burwood utilizing SMT, Petra and Hampson Russell. ELPASO/EP ENERGY Geophysical Advisor

Houston, Texas February01 – October 12

• Responsible for exploitation/exploration work in Offshore Central Gulf of Mexico and Offshore Texas, which included field development and Lease sales for Louisiana and Texas. Offshore shelf fields were remapped incorporating all available well information such as Perfs, untested zones and ZOI’s (zones of interest) see Appendix. AVO work was utilized when gathers were available this included well log modeling and tying (ground-truthing) the models to the gathers. Some of the fields I have mapped and have been successfully drilled are listed below (See attached spreadsheet for fields mapped with 3D and wells drilled in offshore). Numerous prospects developed for Lease Sales both Texas and Louisiana. The offshore work represents nine years of service.

• South Louisiana Wilcox Play – A similar approach to the offshore was applied to the Wilcox prospecting, all relevant wells were reviewed for production and untested interesting Wilcox sands. This info/data was captured in Petra via cross-sections through the areas of interest. Most of the Wilcox prospecting was conducted in Beauregard Parish and East Texas Newton County. Six wells have been drilled in the How-C-Long area of Beauregard. Three of the wells are currently on production Sherry H. Miller 11-1, McPherson 35-1 and the Forestar 11-1 all 3 producing oil 300BOPD, 200BOPD and 90BOPD respectively. The remaining three wells are dubbed non-commercial due low rates. There are several Lower Wilcox prospects yet to be drilled in both Beauregard and East Texas Newton Co. All of these prospects were possible due to strong teamwork integrating geology, geophysics, land and engineering

Responsible for designing and conducting regional studies in the Gulf Coast, Rocky Mountain Williston Basin and Eastern Venezuela Basin. Studies summarized below;

• Texas Gulf Coast Regional Mapping Study - purpose of the study to delineate subsurface geologic trends using standard well log data, such as percent sand, pressure, temperature, and salinity data. This data was then correlated regionally to known production looking for any trends or relationships that might appear between the variables mentioned above and the known production.

• Williston Basin Regional Mapping Study - purpose of study to delineate zones of porosity and permeability within several prospective Paleozoic carbonate intervals using Drill Stem Test data and well logs. Pressure and temperature trends also delineated and synergist-ically studied in conjunction with the porosity and permeability data.
