|  | PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT HISTORY This document excludes non-geologic employment during high-school and undergraduate college such as carpentry, tree-trimming, refinishing hardwood floors... | ||
| Independent consultant. | |||
| Structure and tectonics:  Structural interpretation of 2/3D 
seismic data, development of prospect to basin-scale structural 
and tectonic models, subsurface and field-based paleostress 
analysis, structural field studies, teaching of structural 
interpretation methodology. Fractured reservoir evaluation: Reservoir-scale structural geology, image log analysis, fractured core analysis, quantitative geological fracture modeling for dual-porosity reservoir simulation, development of genetic fracture models to predict subsurface fracturing in advance of drilling, teaching of structural core and image log analysis. Research: Currently involved in work at the Allied Geophysical Lab of the University of Houston on applications of new seismic attributes to 2D and 3D structural interpretation and seismic interpretation workflows that utilize these attributes. | |||
| 04/99 - 09/99 | Golder Associates | ||
| Senior Reservoir Geologist. 
      Houston, Texas Responsible for application of discrete fracture data collection, analysis, and interpretation techniques for oil and gas reservoirs. Applications include analysis of fracture log data for development of Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) models and analysis of reservoir compartmentalization. Developed innovative algorithms for analysis of fracture orientation, size, and spatial structure. Technical marketing of Golder's products and services. | |||
| 02/96 - 09/98 | Western Atlas Logging Services/Baker Atlas Logging Services | ||
| Research Geologist. 
      Houston, Texas Responsible for technical services for heterogeneous and fractured reservoir data interpretation, natural rock fracture mechanics, and borehole imaging. Developed algorithms, software specifications, and software documentation for fracture analysis software, image log interpretation programs, and geological databases as part of the Texaco-Atlas joint-venture that I initiated while at Texaco. Served as geological advisor for logging tool design issues. Taught structural image-log interpretation. | |||
| 02/91 - 02/96 | Texaco Inc., Exploration and Production Technology Department | ||
| Research Geologist. 
      Houston, Texas Responsibilities included: Fractured reservoir exploration, development, and exploitation. Subsurface and/or field-oriented structural studies applying meso- and microtectonic analysis to the solution of oilfield-to-basin scale structural and tectonic problems. Analysis of fractures and minor structures in the subsurface utilizing core, borehole imaging log, and seismic data. Quantitative prediction of fracture spacing and orientation in the subsurface. Orientation statistics. Planning and optimization of deviated and horizontal wells. Rock fracture mechanics. Role of rock fractures in subsurface fluid-flow during both petroleum generation/migration and production. Extensive field experience, primarily in North and South America. While at Texaco I conceived of, initiated, negotiated the contract for, and sold Texaco and Western Atlas management on a joint venture to develop subsurface structure and fracture analysis software and to develop improved image-log processing and interpretation software. | |||
