HIGHLIGHTS OF EXPERIENCE

· Successful prospect development and expansion in Paleozoic Basins of the Permian Basin; 50 BCF Morrow prospect;

40 BCF Wolfcamp play; multi-BCF Devonian and Montoya plays; numerous prospects defined – successful and dry; many

Permian to Wolfcamp age oil and gas fields developed and extended.

· Extensive experience with computer mapping systems and the statistical manipulation of geological, geophysical, and

engineering data to create profits in the exploitation, exploration and acquisition arenas.

· 600 square mile 3D seismic and 400,000 acre leasing program negotiated and approved on Fusselman play; horizontal

well Devonian and Montoya plays initiated and expanded; 30 horizontal development wells drilled; created 2,500 well

digital log and lithology database while Geological Advisor in conjunction with Staff.

· Added 30MMBOE reserves while developing thermally enhanced reservoirs in the San Joaquin Valley, California with Staff

members; 1200 wells drilled; initiated deep Miocene exploration play and 3D seismic.

· Implemented geologic study and computerization of a 900 well field in the San Jorge Basin, Argentina; with co-workers

developed exploitation and waterflood opportunities and doubled daily production;3D seismic initiated.

· Lead for computerization and geologic analysis of a 3,600 well North Ward Estes field in west Texas for the implementation

of a $250 MM CO₂ flood; numerous workovers, stepouts and pattern realignments completed.

· Management of Exploitation, Exploration and Land Departments for both an independent and major oil and gas company;

included exploration plays, reservoir characterization, acquisitions and divestitures.

· Negotiated exploration, development, and seismic agreements in conjunction with attorneys and staff.

· Extensive reservoir characterization and formation evaluation experience; supervised the geologic well site operations

for more than 800 oil and gas wells in addition to multi-well drilling programs.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

TECHNICAL

· Studied and mapped Ordovician through Permian age carbonate and siliciclastic depositional systems in west Texas and the mid-continent,

U.S.A. to develop and evaluate regional trends, plays, leads and prospects.

· Studied carbonate shelf and carbonate debris depositional systems and sequence stratigraphy worldwide, and merged with Permian Basin

data to facilitate exploration plays and field development (included horizontal wells, waterfloods, CO₂ floods and seismic inversion to steer wells).

· Analyzed and mapped Pleistocene through Miocene age siliciclastic reservoirs in California Basins to facilitate development of Company heavy-oil

assets; included horizontal wellbores in steamfloods and evaluation of exploration plays.

· Evaluated trends in Sacramento and LA Basins, California and also in Washington, Montana and Alaska Basins.

· Interpreted and mapped Cretaceous lacustrine depositional systems in the San Jorge Basin, Argentina.

· Developed innovative techniques for the analysis, display and storage of geological and engineering data using mainframe to PC based

· computer systems (GeoGraphix-Ges97,Discovery, Prizm-QLA2, CPS3, Production Analyst, Petra and others) including the construction of large

(>1000 wells) databases for iterative multi-well analyses.

· Evaluated acquisitions and asset sales from lease-scale to merger-scale in many North and South American basins in a team environment and presented

economic results and strategy recommendations.

· Broad familiarity with the fundamentals of geology, geophysics, engineering and business through on-the-job experience, training and literature

review; organized and conducted field trips.

COMMUNICATION, PRESENTATION, PERFORMANCE

· Design and conduct detailed technical, economic and strategy presentations of studies and recommendations

for colleagues and upper management as required; manage budgetary and planning requirements.

· Regularly compile definitive reports combining results and recommendations of studies.

· Turn out quality work while working under pressure; demanding of progress and practicality from self, team and Staff.

· Volunteer time and knowledge to assist co-workers and train Staff; work well with others.

· Able to originate and adopt new ideas to achieve goals; high level of job knowledge.

· Efficiently use resources of time, money, people, and information to accomplish results.
