Greenwood Village, Colorado

• Major investor in a start-up oil and gas company that focused exploration efforts in the Northern Denver-Julesburg basin. Interpreted regional 1250 km seismic data and correlated wire-line logs for the Niobrara.
• Managed core analysis and specialty wire-line logging from three stratigraphic test wells to develop geomechanical properties that were used for well stimulation design of the first horizontal production well.

Lakewood, Colorado

• Secured projects and was a team member for more than 20 integrated studies in the development of oil and gas assets throughout the world that lead to more efficient development of oil and gas reserves that decreased.
• Designed seismic surveys, QC processing and interpreted 2D and 3D seismic data multiple clients that resulted in repeat business for the company
• Exploration offshore Brazin in the subsalt fresh water carbonate section of the Campos and Santos basins
• Interpreted 3D seismic data, modeled and interpreted AVO and AVA data to highlight drilling targets that yielded initial production (IP) of 8000 bbls/day on one well and lowest IP of 800 bbls/day for an 11 well program.
• Ranked prospects and performed asset valuation that led Linc Energy to acquire $236 million in Gulf Coast properties when they started a US subsidiary.
• Expert witness and part of a team to determine reserve potential in an arbitration settlement between Sonatrach and BP for the Ourhoud Field, Algeria
