With over 38 years of oil industry experience, I deliver actionable results and recommendations on a contract basis, primarily in the Permian Basin, Rockies, and in carbon sequestration. As a certified petroleum geophysicist and a licensed geophysicist, I have successfully applied a range of seismic reservoir characterization techniques, including AVO lithology, curvature, and residual structure to various geological settings, including offshore Gulf of Mexico, onshore Gulf Coast, and virtually all unconventional plays worldwide.I am regarded by the industry as the top practitioner of Ant Tracking, a seismic attribute with which I have developed a technique to correctly predict hydraulic communication along faults in the Permian Basin and South Texas, with applicability to other basins and to carbon sequestration projects. I also have extensive experience in new product development, technical sales, mentoring, and integration with other domains. I have previously served as Schlumberger's surface seismic interpretation leader for carbon sequestration, and as its corporate chief geophysicist for unconventionals during unconventional resources' formative years. I have three times built world-class teams that deliver competitive advantage through teamwork, cross-discipline integration, and a dogged pursuit of excellence, but can also work alone or in a small team setting. I deliver results.

Retired GeophysicistRetired Apr 2020 - Apr 2022Houston, Texas, United States -
Technical ManagerSchlumberger, Western Geco Limited. Jul 2015 - Apr 2020Houston, Texas, United StatesNew product development for the use of seismic for unconventional resource field development. Also did technical sales, performed technical work, and mentored staff. Developed technique for predicting excessive water production in the Permian Basin. Developed techniques with drilling staff and external vendors for predicting shallow drilling hazards using either airborne gravity or dense surface seismic; received corporate innovation award from the drilling group with my drilling co-worker for this breakthrough.Early retirement upon COVID's arrival.

Geophysical LeadSchlumberger Production Management May 2013 - Jun 2015Houston, Texas, United StatesSeconded to Schlumberger Production Management Eagle Ford development project. Performed technical work and managed a staff of two geophysicists. Moved acreage selection methodology from client's velocity anistropy technique to a combined technique using Poisson's ratio, AVO anisotropy, and ramp fault identification, which was six times more effective. Oversaw seismic inversion, discrete fracture network, and analytics work. Developed fault attribute technique for rescuing water-prone acreage from excessive water production, increasing client stock price by a factor of two. This technique was later modified for use in the Permian Basin, where it has a 95+% predictive rate.

Business Technical Advisor (Halftime) And Acting Chief Geophysicist For Unconventionals (Halftime)Slb Mar 2013 - Apr 2013Houston, Texas, United StatesHalf-time Business Technical Advisor for the Western Hemisphere for Schlumberger WesternGeco's Seismic for Unconventionals group while simultaneously acting informally (but paid) half-time to oversee that group on behalf of corporate. Met annual financial goals in that one month on the job, growing the business 1000-fold, primarily through accounting corrections and bringing WesternGeco to understand that they were, and already had been, hip-deep in unconventional work, and were not neophytes. -
Worldwide Geophysical Technical Advisor - Unconventional ResourcesSchlumberger Apr 2012 - Feb 2013Houston, Texas AreaI served as the lead geophysicist for Schlumberger worldwide in the global move into shales for gas and for oil. I liased between the pertinent Schlumberger segments to ensure a relevant, technically correct, integrated seismic solution for unconventional resources as well as performing and managing projects for clients. I served as product champion for Seismic HRA, an integrated core / log / seismic analysis solution geared to leverage all available geoscience measurements toward intelligent acreage development go / no go and well spacing decisions as well, potentially, toward fluid sensitivity identification and proppant strength selection. -
Scientific Advisor -Seismic Reservoir CharacterizationSchlumberger Aug 2009 - Apr 2012Houston, Texas Area, With Worldwide ResponsibilitiesI managed a group of two at WesternGeco responsible for seismic reservoir horizon interpretation and seismic petrophysics. I was personably responsible for advising on the seismic reservoir characterization of gas shales worldwide. Recognized by industry as one of the top few experts on the use of Ant Tracking worldwide.I worked on projects in the Eagle Ford, Wolfcamp, Haynesville, Fayetteville, Barnett, and Mancos Shales and either managed or advised on projects in the Marcellus Shale, the Bakken Formation, the Silurian Shale in the Lublin Basin in Poland, and the Yukon. -
Principal Reservoir GeophysicistSchlumberger Oct 2004 - Jan 2010Performed seismic reservoir characterization projects, primarily with post-stack attributes with Schlumberger DCS Consulting Services group. Transferred in 2006 to DCS Reservoir Seismic Services group, where I transformed the group from a group selling seismic inversion to a group offering rock-physics-based seismic reservoir characterization solutions for client opportunities and problems. Our gorup was recognized by Chopra and Marfurt as the best practitioners on the planet. -
Lead GeophysicistSchlumberger Sep 2000 - Jun 2004Performed seismic reservoir characterization projects, primarily with post-stack attributes with Schlumberger DCS Consulting Services group. Before the crash in 2002, I managed a staff of five. -
Senior GeophysicistArco Permian 1998 - 2000Midland, Texas, UsaResponsible for field development for 10 fields in the southern Midland, southern Delaware, and Val Verde Basins. Project geophysicist for Horizontal Devonian play and took over the Spraberry play. Technology in these two plays (horizontal drilling and extreme multi-stage fracture stimulations) were those that enabled the current unconventional boom. Back then we didn't know enough to know that we were "unconventional".
