PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Geologist, Brigham Exploration, Austin, Texas

January, 2005 - Present

Part of a team of geologists, geophysicists, land managers and petroleum

engineers that evaluates and develops economical drillable prospects in the

Rocky Mountains, Anadarko Basin and Texas Gulf Coast. Analyze oil and gas

well logs and use data for subsurface mapping and the identification of

geologic formations. Prepare and present various interpretive maps and

cross-sections, and reports of geological data. Steering horizontal wells

in the Bakken Formation of the Williston Basin. Monitoring conventional

wells in the Williston and Anadarko Basins.

. Create subsurface maps using well logs. Compare and combine maps to

look for structural and stratigraphic traps. Identifying depositional

environments of regions of interest (i.e. as a shoreline environment,

deep marine environment, channel system.)

. Calculate hydrocarbon reserves using Boones' spreadsheets to assist

reservoir engineers in analyses.

. Conducted field studies in Montana / Williston Basin, Wyoming / North

Powder Basin, Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma / Anadarko Basin, Texas

Gulf Coast.

. Continuously read, research and observe to gain new knowledge and keep

current with new technologies and discoveries.

. Ability to look at projects from different viewpoints. Working with

geophysicist in evaluation of seismic data for identifying hydrocarbon

reservoirs.

. Known as subject matter expert for use of PETRA geological software

used to enhance geological evaluation and data management. "Go to"

person for software issues.

. Experienced in Beta testing of new geological and graphics software.

Geological Technician, Brigham Exploration, Austin, Texas

October, 2002 - December, 2004

Obtained well logs and other well data from state and local geological/oil

& gas library and well log services. Compiled well history and production

data from various internet-based databases, such as IHS Energy and

drillinginfo.com. Set up and imported well and production data into PETRA

and taught the application to geologists and geotechs. Worked with

librarian to maintain well log files.

. Digitized well log curves for use in geological and seismic projects.

Imported LAS files of digitized curves into the project databases.

. Digitized isopach maps and structure maps for geologists' use in

calculating drainage areas and reserves.

. Copied and scanned well logs, maps, other documentation for import

into various software programs.

. Calibrated and imported raster images of well logs for use in PETRA

projects.

Technical Staff Assistant, The University of Texas at Austin, Dept. of

Geological Sciences, Austin, Texas

October, 2001 - August, 2002

Performed laser ablation ICP/MS techniques for rare earth elemental

analyses in metamorphic rocks, with an end toward substantiating the

equilibration of minerals under particular pressure-temperature conditions.

Obtained elemental compositional analyses on the electron microprobe to

gain information on the diagenetic characteristics of sandstones, and

backscattered-electron imaging of the sandstones for textural analyses.

Projects involved Computed Tomography (CT) data from earth materials.

Evaluated geological modeling software used in CT analyses.

Software Tester, Landmark Graphics Co., Austin, Texas

July, 2000 - September, 2001

Tested geological software applications within an integrated array of UNIX-

and PC-based software products for a geological and engineering software

solutions company. Performed testing through integrated workflows and

exploratory testing methods during all stages of the software development

life cycle. Upgraded previously designed workflows and assisted in training

of other software testers. Worked closely with developers, product

managers, product architects, and technical writers to ensure product

requirements were met, to determine effective implementations and

usability, and to ensure the production and release of quality software

solutions. Conducted both "white box" and "black box" testing. Tested and

edited work flows and user manuals.
