Terlingua House

Terlingua, Texas, United States

Terlingua House is located in the heart of the desert mountain country of West Texas. For the price of a nice single hotel room, this unique guesthouse is like having your own personal lodge for your Big Bend trip. It is a three-bedroom, two-bath, adobe-style property with full kitchen; each located in a separate building. It's almost like renting a small resort rather than just a vacation home or hotel room.Although most come here to get away from it all, Terlingua House has all the comforts of home.

Managing Owner

Highland Vallis Ranch

Cripple Creek, Colorado, United States

Colorado cow - calf cattle ranch. 9,000 acres, all-natural grass-fed beef.Using my geological background, in the 1990's I developed an innovative livestock rotation program for the Texas Ranch based on the likely natural development of grasses and buffalo on the native rangelands. This resulted in an 80% decrease in feed costs and increasing grass volumes and increasing weaning weights. It is sustainable, conservation oriented and migratory (meaning happier less stressed cows). After 21 years the system worked beautifully. It is now my goal run a sustainable or nearly totally sustainable ranch in Colorado.

Johnson Ranch

San Angelo Area

Using my geological background, in the 1990's I developed an innovative livestock rotation program for the ranch based on the likely natural development of grasses and buffalo on the native rangelands. This resulted in an 80% decrease in feed costs and increasing grass volumes and increasing weaning weights. It is sustainable, conservation oriented and migratory (meaning happier less stressed cows). After 20 years the system has worked beautifully. It is very environmentally amenable and drought resistant. This project has been moved to the Highland Vallis ranch in Colorado.

Mud Log Evaluation

In Open Hole Log Interpretation, subject to lithology and water salinity (Rw), you are essentially normalizing Resistivity to Porosity. You are asking, do I have enough resistivity for this porosity to be productive. And if so, to what degree, i.e. Sw.In mud logging, we all know "gas"​ can indicate oil. The question is, how much "gas" does it take to be oil productive, and to what degree? The fundamentals of total gas interpretation from a mud log are intuitive and as follows:1. More Oil yields More Total Gas2. A Higher GOR Reservoir yields more Total Gas3. A thicker Drilling Fluid (Higher Funnel Vis) Yields less GasThe combination of the above in conjunction with understanding the OOIP formula and the variables of porosity and permeability can greatly aid in the use of mud logs in estimating productivity of a reservoir, i.e. Sw. This interpretation method can be used for OLD Mud Logs as well as new ones.This information is not intended to replace open hole logs but rather as an aid to you in understanding what the mud log is actually telling you. In a place without open hole logs, this can be a very helpful tool.
