o Geopark, Ltd.: Buenos Aires, Argentina 2003. Worked Austral basin of Southern Argentina and Southern Chile. Integrated subsurface geology and seismic data to identify oil and gas prospects and development opportunities.

o El Paso Production Company: Houston, Texas 2000-2003. Worked Rocky Mountain region with emphasis on geological evaluations of northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado. Developed stratigraphic – framework for interpretation of depositional environments of Tertiary and Cretaceous age formations. Integrated geological data with source-rock and reservoir-engineering analyses. Work led to oil and gas discoveries,

o Decker Operating Company: Houston, Texas 1997-present. Evaluated numerous recommendations for seismic acquisitions, leasing and drilling, resulting in several discoveries. Assisted in 3D seismic interpretations in East Texas and on the Gulf Coast. Worked on Rodessa, Travis Peak and Cotton Valley plays in East Texas. Provided geological interpretations and evaluations which led to acreage acquisitions (200,000+ acres) and successful drilling of numerous gas wells in Northern Montana.

o Netherland, Sewell, and Associates, Inc.: Houston, Texas 1997-2000. Worked on geological and engineering evaluation projects, which are summarized as follows.

• Southern Mexico: Mapped salt domes in the Salinas Basin. Evaluated remaining reserves in the Miocene sandstone reservoirs, and identified infill drilling opportunities. Made recommendations to PEMEX for development of additional reserves.

• Northern Louisiana: Performed geological evaluation of various oil and gas fields in northern Louisiana. Identified numerous infill and step out drilling opportunities with clients. Provided geological input for accurate reservoir characterizations of Cretaceous and Jurassic formations to engineers for reserves determinations.

• Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast (onshore and offshore): Mapped, compartmentalized, and fault bounded reservoirs associated with salt domes. Determined reservoir volumes for remaining reserves determinations.

• British Columbia: Worked with team in Calgary, Alberta for Coastal Oil and Gas. Reviewed geology and reserves potential for various properties in Northern British Columbia.

• Colorado: Reviewed geology, economics and reserves potential of projects in the Denver Basin. Also, evaluated coal bed methane reserves potential for several producing properties in the Raton Basin.

• Utah: Evaluated producing coal bed methane properties in the vicinity of Price, Utah. Mapped coal volumes and made reserves determinations utilizing decline curves, and coal-gas volume analyses.

• Oklahoma: Mapped gas fields in the thrust belt play of southeastern Oklahoma. Determined reservoir volumes of fault compartmentalized traps, and identified and development drilling opportunities.

• West Texas: Provided geological evaluations of Atoka, Morrow, and Ellenburg gas fields in Texas and New Mexico. Studies determined reservoir characteristics, remaining reserves potential, and identified new drilling opportunities.

o Seagull Energy Corporation. (Ocean Energy): Houston, Texas 1996-1997. Worked on major gas field expansion project in northern Montana and southern Saskatchewan. Investigations included detailed cross-section work, subsurface mapping of structure and various isopach data related to gas productivity. Conducted additional geological studies of depositional environments as related to regional trends in Canada and the U.S. In

addition, provided geological input into gas reserves studies and economic analysis of the play. Upon completion of the study, assisted in the establishment of two large federal units.

o Marsh Operating Company: Denver, Colorado 1995-1996. Provided geological input for divestiture of company’s oil and gas assets in Montana, Colorado, Kansas, the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles, the Western Anadarko Basin and the Permian Basin. Properties were successfully sold in 1996.
