Aries and GIS for land and ops teams following Powder River Basin acquisition from SME

Built and managed large ARIES database of non-operated interests, including over 3000 producing wells, and over 7,000 total locations. Updated production and PDP forecasts. Built and updated type curves for undeveloped locations, and regularly managed various complex ownership scenarios.Worked extensively with 3rd party reserve auditors (Cawley, Gillespie and Associates, Ryder Scott) to maximize reserves for semi-annual, certified reserve reports that impact company financing. Reported directly to VP of Engineering.Collaborated with land, accounting, and engineering teams on detailed presentations to lenders and board of directors.Increased undeveloped reserves by negotiating for more proven locations and higher EURE type projections based on study of updated completion techniques, tighter drill spacing, and escalation of lease-line drilling. Worked with private equity backers to evaluate multiple merger and aquisition opportunites in down market by building individual Aries databases using data rooms and public data.Maintained large Spotfire database of Williston basin activity to monitor production by formation and operator in order to stay current on updated completions and summarize competitor activity in board presentations

• Responsible for collecting and archiving daily production data from over 300 producing CBM wells in four fields, using WinCCU software, daily field reports, and paper chart recorders.• Allocated monthly revenue to all royalty and working interests, managed distribution of proceeds from forward sales and hedge contracts, supervised processing of payments through third party accounting firm. Supervised all production reporting, as well as payment of monthly severance and yearly ad valorem taxes for all wells• Supervised monthly gas balancing with third party producers and multiple purchasers• Maintained production database and updated company reserve model using PhDWin software, prepared quarterly performance updates and company reserve estimates• Prepared asset valuations of potential acquisitions for management team and financial backers using PhDWin• Developed budget, AFEs, and pro forma cash flow model for workover and recompletion program to return lost production and convert behind pipe reserves. • Prepared detailed weekly reports for management documenting production and operations communicated through weekly conference calls with field personnel• Coordinated due diligence and transfer of all operated leases from Admiral Bay • Assisted with negotiations to resolve multi- lease dispute with large neighboring operator without litigation

• Communicated with shareholders and the public on the development of five coal bed methane projects in the Cherokee and Appalachian basins through news releases, company website, email subscriber list, and presentations at industry events, including 2009 Developing Unconventional Gas conference in Ft Worth• Evaluated strategic alternatives for growth by preparing cash flow models and valuations for potential development, joint ventures, and acquisitions, including the May 2009 acquisition of the Thayer prospect from LV Neodesha/Petrol Oil and Gas • Designed and updated company reserve model utilizing PhdWin software, tracked performance relative to certified reserve estimates to provide guidance for quarterly and yearly financial statements• Supervised gas measurement and collection of daily production data for over 300 wells in four producing fields using WinnCCU, PramsPlus, paper chart recorders, and field reports, maintained company production database in MS Access• Completed monthly production reporting and revenue allocation for all producing leases in order to process royalty and third party payments and update company cash flow model• Calculated and submitted monthly severance tax payments, and generated yearly renditions for all producing leases, maintained compliance with state and federal regulatory agencies. • Supervised lease maintenance and land operations for Cherokee Basin leasehold of over 100,000 acres with a team of 2-5 land personnel in the field • Directed 2007-2009 development program at Shiloh and Mound Valley projects, including permitting, drilling, recompletion, and open- hole logging of over 100 wells

• Provided contract geological services (mudlogging, coring supervision, core sampling and coal desorption) for over 100 coal bed methane and shale gas exploration wells in the Cherokee and Powder River basins for multiple operators including Whiting Petroleum, Berry Petroleum, Newfield Exploration, Calpine, Wolverine Oil and Gas, Heartland Oil and Gas, Peabody Energy, Fidelity, and others• Supervised drilling, mudlogging, and coring of over 200 coal bed methane wells at the Shiloh, Mound Valley, and Devon projects that later became the core of Admiral Bay’s Cherokee Basin assets. • Developed leasing and drilling targets in the Cherokee Basin through geologic mapping and scout research at state geological surveys

• Compiled mudlogs, drilling, and geologic reports for petroleum, natural gas, and coalbed methane projects in the Williston Basin, Cherokee Basin, and western Washington for AmeradaHess, Encore Operating LLP, and others• Assisted in geosteering for multiple horizontal wells in the Williston Basin for Amerada Hess and Encore Operating LLP

• Collected and mapped soil, stream sediment, and rock samples in surface geochemical surveys at Pogo deposit and Napoleon Creek gold prospect near Chicken, AK; developed drilling targets based on survey results and geologic mapping• Compiled detailed geologic and geotechnical core logs for over 100 wells during underground and surface definition drilling programs, selected and prepared core and rock samples for assay analysis• Compiled and updated underground blast advance maps and tailings pile maps with CAD software, contributed to underground geologic and structural mapping program

Toronto, Ontario, Ca

• Participated in surface exploration at Stoneboy, Brink, Black Mountain, and surrounding prospects, Big Delta and Eagle quadrangles, east central AK• Compiled geologic core logs for over 15 exploration holes during exploration drilling of Liese quartz veins• Conducted reconnaissance surveys of remote, unclaimed areas from helicopter assisted exploration camp, collected and mapped soil, stream sediment, and rock samples and compiled assay result maps and geologic maps• Discovered large surface accumulation Sb-Pb-Ag massive sulfide while prospecting in Big Delta Quadrangle
