Denver, Colorado, United States

➡ Lead geologist on acquisitions team growing assets in the Permian (Delaware & Midland) and Williston basins. Geologic support consisted of regional subsurface and OOIP mapping, core and open hole log petrophysical analysis, petrophysical modeling, and determining drilling inventory.➡ Lead geologist responsible for planning, budgeting, permitting, and executing a multi-rig, horizontal drilling program (102 wells in Bakken & Three Forks in the Williston Basin and 27 wells in Green River/Wasatch in theUinta Basin).➡ Organized, directed, and conducted a multi-zone, in-depth mapping and petrophysical project focused on the Green River and Wasatch formations in the Uinta Basin.➡ Managed well APD and UIC regulatory program on BLM, BIA, and tribal lands in the Uinta Basin.➡ Geoscience lead in marketing/sale of $525MM in Utah assets and their transition to buyer.➡ Initiated an EOR (water flood and CO2) feasibility study for Bakken & Three Forks formations in the Williston Basin.➡ Direct a team of 14 geologists, geophysicists, geotechs and regulatory staff on $1B, multi-rig, horizontal drilling program (102 wells in Bakken/Three Forks and 39 wells in Green River/Wasatch in the Uinta Basin) with maximum production of 49,000 BOEPD. ➡ Eliminated silos/improved communication between disciplines; realigned staff and created an environment of collaboration and cooperation.

Denver, Colorado, United States

➡ Lead geologist for a team of 8 geoscientists responsible for geosteering, logging and perf design for 21 horizontal wells in the Uinta Basin and geologic mapping.➡ Collected and integrated microseismic data on 9 wells in the Uinta and Williston basins for cube development and completion optimization.➡ Responsible for geosteering, logging and perf design for 21 horizontal wells in the Castle Peak and Uteland Butte members of the Green River Formation and the Wasatch Formation in the Uinta Basin.➡ Provide geologic support for vertical and horizontal reserves management.

Denver, Co

➡ Developed an exploration plan for previously unsuccessful Bakken play on Dunn County acreage block in the Williston Basin to include an updated fracture-play concept using seismic and magnetic data that led to increased well performance, additional drilling, and positioned its successful sale for $1.2B.➡ Led the NEPA process for and acquired and interpreted a 28 square mile Vibroseis 3D on the Blackfeet Reservation targeting the Cone Member of Marias River Shale Formation in the Montana Thrust Belt. Drilled multiple, vertical and horizontal Marias River Shale, Madison, and Bakken exploratory wells.

Denver, Co

➡ Managed drilling program for 38 wells in Rio Vista Field and step-out exploratory areas within the Sacramento Basin with an 83% success rate. Provided geoscience support for the acquisition of Output Exploration.➡ Designed, permitted, acquired, and interpreted the Bradford Island 3D in an environmentally sensitive wetland and oversaw the merging/reprocessing of three 3D surveys that yielded 20+ new drilling locations in the low-resistivity, tight sand play within the Martinez Shale.

New Orleans, La
