WORK HISTORY
10/2009 to Present - WCO Exploration
Consulting Sr. Explorationist
 Geologic evaluation of 60,000 acre, Williston Basin, Bakken package, for
purchase and development
 Prospect generation in Tuscaloosa Marine Shale and Austin Chalk of LA
- Prospect confirmed by Devon’s acquisition of 400,000 acres
- TOC evaluation followed Passey, et. al., to identify organic concentrations
- Resistivity mapping followed Bartshe, et. al., to identify “sweet spots”
 Deeper pool and shallower pool prospect generation on client’s property
- Identified a potentially new “resource ” chalk, with elevated TOC
 Farm-in evaluation, Cooper Basin, Australia
 Advised on geologic matters concerning Kazakhstan prospect interpretation
 Kazakhstan prospect expert at NAPE and AAPG convention booths
 Created prospect marketing and presentation materials based upon my own
interpretation from integrating research, seismic and well data
 “Spot” QC’ed 90,000 miles of 2D seismic data and reviewed 15 prospects /
leads in TX, LA, MS, coast and AK, OK, as due diligence for corporate merger
 Client List: Radius Petroleum, Moyes and Company, Client Confidential,
Resource Exploration Services
04/2007 to 10/2009 - Seha Corp., Seoul Korea
Sr. Geophysicist/General Manager
 Detailed Interpretation of 3D and mixed vintage 2D seismic data over the Temir
and Zhanazhol sub-salt, carbonate platforms, Precaspian Basin, Kazakhstan
 Lead technical author of farm-out brochure
 Initiated research reports to:
- Validate in-house interpretations against published research
- Capture the exploration team’s insights for corporate “archives.”
