Work Experience
MHA PETROLEUM CONSULTANTS INC., Lakewood, Colorado:
(2000 to 2004) Senior Petroleum Engineer/Geoscientist
(January 2004 to Present) Vice President
Specializing in fully integrated reservoir studies from development of the static geologic 3-D model through to the matching and prediction of the upscaled dynamic simulation model. Geologic model development includes mapping and correlation utilizing sequence stratigraphic principles, petrophysical analysis of core and well logs, geostatistical techniques, and upscaling of the static 3-D model to a reservoir simulation model (PETREL PC-based platform). Simulation projects include both single well to full field models with expertise in fractured reservoirs. Reserve determination and audits following SEC guidelines. Project management/supervision of technical studies for various clients.
MARATHON OIL, Technology Center, Denver, Colorado:
(1996 - 2000) Advanced Reservoir Engineer
Responsible for all aspects of reservoir modeling including development of geologic model with well log intrepretation, gridding, construction of 3-D earth model (Stratamodel), upscaling, Eclipse model generation, history matching, and prediction. Completed simulation projects range from conceptual 1-D black oil models to highly complex full field and basinal 3-D models. Reservoir fluid properties characterization of black oil and compositional reservoirs. Generated reserve predictions based on decline curve analysis.
TILDEN ENGINEERING, Denver, Colorado:
(1989-1993) Consulting Geoscientist
Consulting geologist for several independent oil and gas companies specializing in coalbed methane and tight gas exploration projects in US and Europe. Generated exploration prospects through basin analysis utilizing well logs, mud logs, core analysis, subsurface mapping and seismic interpretation.
AMOCO PRODUCTION COMPANY, Denver, Colorado:
(1980 - 1989) Petroleum Geologist
Coordinated exploitation group responsible for geologic input to IOR waterflood and CO2 simulation projects in four Rocky Mountain Basins. Reservoir management duties included field pattern modification, delineation of bypassed oil, infill/step-out/deepening candidates. Developed predictive reservoir models for sandstone, carbonate, tight gas, and fractured reservoirs involving petrophysical analysis of logs, core, and production data. Managed all geologic operations for Alaska offshore drilling program for two years. Completed wellsite duty on numerous oil and gas wildcat and development wells in the Rocky Mountains.
