Summary
I drive successful development of Oil & Gas projects using my knowledge of Onshore Conventional CO2
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and Increased Oil Recovery (IOR), and Carbon Sequestration. My impact comes
from facilitating collaboration between geologists and reservoir engineers – I have a strong background in
Reservoir Characterization, Well Information Database Design & Compilation, and Geocellular Model Creation.
Experience
Project Geologist, Post Rock CO2 Flood, Russell, KS - C12 Energy, March 2014-Sept. 2015
 Evaluate reservoir potential, design completions, advise pattern designs, and provide technical support for
Unitization Activities.
 Compile Well Database consisting of 3000+ wells with Raster, Digital, Well History, Scout Ticket,
Completion, and Perforation Data.
 Construct Geologic Maps, Correlate Well Logs, and characterize reservoir properties.
 Balance Petrophysical, Production, and Geological data to generate self-consistent model, thereby facilitating
dynamic models that can easily be history-matched.
Geologist – CO2 Sequestration & Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Business Development – C12 Energy, March
2009-February 2014
 Evaluate prospects using methods such as basin analysis, geophysical log interpretation, well database
compilation, pay interpretation, and geocellular model creation.
 Identify and characterize Conventional Midcontinent Carbon Sequestration (CCS) and Enhanced Oil
Recovery (EOR) targets.
 Design and compile geologic well databases consisting of Oil well location, construction, and deviation,
incorporating multiple production streams, digital and raster well logs.
 Digitize, analyze, and perform geophysical calculations on well logs. Identify porosity zones, oil saturated
zones (i.e. pay), and evaluate missed pay based on well construction.
Environmental Geologist, Haley & Aldrich, Boston, MA, & Parsippany, NJ, September 2006 - March 2009
 Collect Soil, Groundwater, Surface Water, and Soil Vapor samples on private and SuperFund properties.
 Describe and Log Core and Geoprobe Samples
 Provide oversight for Well Installation
 Prepare Reports for Private Clients, State & Federal Regulators
 Served as Client Representative for Cooperating Party to SuperFund technical workgroup

Mr. Byrnes and I worked together closely to characterize the reservoirs of a number of our acquisitions and
business development prospects. He taught me the finer points of petrophysics, geomodelling, and integration of
production data into a geologic interpretation. We drafted expert testimony for a proposed Unitization Agreement
for the Post Rock flood in Kansas.

I worked very closely with Mr. Gale's team to develop flow simulations necessary to demonstrate CO2 flood
viability for the Post Rock flood in Kansas. Because of the workflow employed to balance petrophysics,
production, and geology in the Static Modeling stage of reservoir characterization, Mr. Gale's team was able to
achieve history matches with minimal physical adjustments.

Mike's team and I collaborated to design a workover program for the Post Rock CO2 flood. Prior to initiation of
the flood (still pending), we designed a workover program aimed at isolating production zones, and better
understanding production from each of these zones.
