BACKGROUND SUMMARY

Excellent track record as an oil finder who consistently uncovers exploration/exploitation opportunities missed by previous efforts. Encouraged team participation to create processes to increase efficiency and maximize profit. Evaluated critical risk elements by integrating appropriate seismic, geology, and engineering data into each opportunity. Implemented leading edge technology throughout career. Worked with contractors to develop better practices and techniques to provide superior results. Developed stratigraphic and structural geologic exploration play models in a multi-disciplinary team setting. Experience in Fort Worth, Permian, Val Verde, Piceance, Washakie, Green River, Anadarko, Arkoma basins in the U.S., and many areas in South America and the Middle East. Excellent skills with Landmark and Kingdom.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

WILLIAMS Tulsa, Oklahoma 2010-2011

Senior Staff Geoscientist

Hired to be an impact player in the Barnett Shale resource development play.

• Responsible for maximizing seismic imaging to locate fault hazards and develop techniques to identify brittle zones within the shale. Used attribute analysis to identify potential hazards. Saved company more than $30 million.

• Developed techniques to map gas bearing rocks using high frequency imaging, inversion, and interpretation processes.

DEVON ENERGY Denver,Colorado/ Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 2005-2009

Geophysical Consultant

Contracted to develop exploration/exploitation opportunities in various parts of the Permian and Washakie Basins.

• Identified structural trend by maximizing data reprocessing effort to solve time-to-depth imaging problems.

• Identified stratigraphic targets in Midland Basin and west Texas, and currently working similar projects in Washakie.

• Developed techniques to map gas bearing rocks using high frequency imaging, inversion, and interpretation processes.

ENCANA Denver, Colorado 2002–2004

Geophysicist

Developed exploitation and exploration opportunities by maximizing 2D and 3D seismic imaging results in northern Piceance Basin. Used SMT (Kingdom) workstation to map structural and stratigraphic targets.

• Maximized information from existing seismic data. Used state-of-the-art seismic processing and pioneered techniques to identify channel sand within Dakota and Morrison formations.

• Analysis tied existing wells in 3D survey. Identified 19 locations to test upper Dakota channel and shore-face trends. An additional 25 in-fill wells were located. Had this analysis been used, seven dry holes would not have been drilled.

• Initiated and developed inversion techniques to identify sandy units in the Mesaverde.

DEVON ENERGY Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 2001-2002

Geophysical Advisor

Identified exploitation/exploration opportunities in the Washakie Basin by enhancing seismic imaging results in existing 3D seismic. Used Landmark workstation to map potential targets within the Almond.

• Used state-of-the-art seismic processing to identify and delineate channels in upper and lower Almond. Seven wells drilled – ranged from 2.5 – 4.5 BCF in an area where the average well is 0.5 BCF. Many additional well locations added along trends tested in these seven wells.

OCEAN ENERGY Houston, Texas 2000-2001

Consulting Geophysicist

Provided geophysical expertise in 2D and 3D mapping (SMT-Kingdom) to develop exploitation prospects along various trends in the Permian, Anadarko, and Arkoma Basins.

• Delineated prospective Morrow and Douglas channel trends. Provided seismic interpretation to further develop Atoka, Red Fork and Springer production. Quickly evaluated well proposals and made appropriate recommendations.

SEAGULL ENERGY CORPORATION Houston, Texas 1998 - 1999

Senior Geophysicist

Provided geological and geophysical evaluations of business opportunities to Seagull Management as part of a three-man New Ventures team.

• Evaluated exploration potential for Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, Bolivia, India and Yemen, evaluated areas of interest and searched for passed up opportunities, identified areas in Egypt, Yemen and Brazil where significant potential may exist. Recommended strategy and modifications that would enhance the corporate strategic plan.

AMOCO Houston, Texas and Denver, Colorado 1977 - 1998

Senior Staff Geophysicist

EGYPT BUSINESS UNIT Houston, Texas 1996 - 1998

Provided geophysical expertise in prospect and field evaluation with geological, petrophysical and engineering members. Team integrated multi-datasets to build a comprehensive three dimensional reservoir model.

• Provided interpretation of 2D and 3D exploitation projects (Landmark) in Egypt which resulted in: a new structural interpretation of Ramadan field which identified additional compartments along the trend, the largest having the potential of 79 million barrels and identification of complex fault pattern and sand channel system for a productive seven well in fill drilling program in the Badri Field.

• Introduced new techniques and applications to the Gulf of Suez teams which increased enhanced structural definition and drilling accuracy, including: pre stack depth migration of selected seismic lines to give velocity information to input into 3D migration effort; Euler deconvolution of magnetic and gravity data providing additional information for developing a three-dimensional structural framework of the Gulf of Suez; and forward modeling technique to display the seismic time depth imaging problem related to lateral velocity changes and complex geology.

SOUTH AMERICA NEW VENTURE BUSINESS UNIT Houston, Texas 1992 - 1996

Identified new exploration opportunities and for providing structural expertise to the New Ventures and Colombia teams. Served on an implementation team to capture large identified exploration target in the Eastern Cordillera.

• Developed an extensive regional geologic model showing the structural and stratigraphic evolution of northern South America. This model identified play types and prospective trends that aided our prospect evaluation efforts.

• Provided an alternate interpretation of the Opon structure and recommended dropping development plans which would have resulted in avoiding a loss of $215 million after it was implemented.

• Used forward modeling techniques to illustrate seismic imaging problems due to topography, lateral velocity changes and complex geology which resulted in the identification of a large prospective structure.

• Evaluated the 1994 Ecuador bid round which resulted in the unique interpretation and identification of a large undrilled structural trend (recently tested for over 2300 barrels per day) and a formal bid of the block.

• Unique evaluation of Ecuadorian seismic and structural trends resulted in special recognition by Mobil management.

PAKISTAN BUSINESS UNIT Houston, Texas 1988 - 1992

Responsible as lead geophysicist for providing geophysical and structural expertise to design and implement the exploration program in the Kohat Basin, Pakistan.

• Coordinated multi dataset acquisition effort that resulted in the integration of all available data into the interpretation. Identified transpressional style of structural deformation and accurately evaluated area’s gas potential. Early recognition of low oil potential led to withdrawal from country and avoided millions of dollars of additional losses. Work recognized by management as model exploration project and led to numerous technical presentations and papers. Recommended for an award by Project Engineers.

• Applied state of the art techniques (pre stack depth migration, forward modeling, static solutions) that resulted in accurate depth images of complex structures.

DENVER BUSINESS UNIT Denver, Colorado 1977 - 1988

Responsible as lead geophysicist for identifying and directing exploration activity in the Arkoma Basin (Oklahoma), Hougoton Embayment (Kansas), DJ Basin (Colorado), and Rocky Mountain Region (Utah to Montana).

• Identified play potential on existing regional seismic that resulted in Arkoma play becoming the number one exploration play in the Denver Region. Efforts led to a wildcat success of 85% for twenty prospects.

• Designed optimal seismic acquisition parameters, which resulted in enhanced seismic imaging of fault blocks in a structurally complex area and increased development success in Wilburton and Red Oak fields.

• Directed testing and implemented state of the art techniques to acquire high resolution seismic data (both dynamite and vibroseis) for detailing subtle stratigraphic changes. Controlled seismic acquisition costs and maximized frequency content (over 100 hz.) in Hugoton, Kansas; Powder River Basin, Wyoming; and Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma. Added six additional wells to Kinsler Field, which had four previous attempts to extend field.
