Lead all geological exploration efforts for our Illinois Basin operations including land and leasing evaluation for acquisition/divestiture, all types of geological mapping (structural, isopach, porosity, sequence and facies boundaries, drainage and depletion assessment, et al), geophysical analysis and seismic interpretation and integration, and all geological duties necessary for our upstream drilling program.

General, Structural, and Architectural Estimating and Project Management. I have led over 100 industrial and commercial construction bid pursuits from $5k to $5M focusing on takeoff accuracy, WBS and preconstruction planning, bid quality/presentation, organization and detail; I strive to not simply meet bid requirements but exceed client expectations.

My company. President and Geologist. Worked as consulting petroleum geologist maximizing and developing Permian secondary and tertiary carbonate oil fields.

Responsible for all geologic characterization of the Sundown Slaughter, Levelland, Kingdom, T-Star, Smeyer and Masten CTX (Chevron) property- Northern shelf of the Midland Basin. All properties are carbonate reservoirs in waterflood or CO2 (secondary-tertiary) development. Daily to weekly duties include extensive IHS Petra experience in drafting cross-sections, maps, log interpretation (both digital and raster), well log interpretation, well log integration and log transform functions… Show more Responsible for all geologic characterization of the Sundown Slaughter, Levelland, Kingdom, T-Star, Smeyer and Masten CTX (Chevron) property- Northern shelf of the Midland Basin.

Reservoir Characterization Unit, Reservoir Management Technology Services Completed a full geological and geochemical play assessment of an unconventional tight shale. Compiled and organized existing internal data on the play, updated and added all well and geochemical data from external sources, built new complete structure, isopach, TOC and other necessary geochemical and geotechnical parameter maps/grids to determine total GIP and total hydrocarbon potential. Completed summary of… Show more Reservoir Characterization Unit, Reservoir Management Technology Services Completed a full geological and geochemical play assessment of an unconventional tight shale.

Conducted Chlorine PPM analysis, BTU count via calorimeter bomb, % Sulfur, % Moisture, Fusion Ash count, some supervisory duties.5-10 – 5-11 – Coal Preparation with focus on quality controlCore specialist – Organize and analyze core samples for coal seams, describe, and process core samples for lab work.

Selected by USI faculty and hired by ESG to work on joint venture between USI and ESG. Project drilled approx. 700’ well on university-owned property and conducted Coal Bed Methane testing according to USGS canister and manometer methods to determine whether natural gas extraction and production was a geologically feasible and economically viable revenue source for USI.
