In addition to his operational responsibilities, Jack focuses on Laramie's prospect generation and new play development. Jack has over 25 years of geosciences experience throughout the major Rocky Mountain basins including the Piceance, Green River, Williston, San Juan, and DJ basins. Prior to joining Laramie, Jack was a Sr. Geophysicist for Samson Resources where he developed several new plays and drilled successful unconventional prospects in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.
Jack joined Texaco Exploration and Producing, Inc.'s Denver office in 1982 as a development geologist and spent the next 19 years with the company in steadily increasing levels of responsibilities. Over the course of his Texaco career, Jack made a number of new field discoveries in the Piceance and DJ basins and was responsible for new by-passed reserve plays in the Williston basin. Also during this time, Jack developed new innovative technologies for evaluating well log information using artificial neural networks. By the late 1990's Jack was team leader for Texaco's worldwide 3D earth modeling initiative concentrating on Texaco's new and emerging assets in West Africa, the Gulf of Mexico, and the North Sea.
Jack joined Halliburton Energy Services in late 2001 as Senior Technical Advisor. His responsibilities included petrophysical analysis, integrated geologic studies, and 3D geostatistical asset management for Halliburton's many clients in the Rocky Mountains. While at Halliburton, Jack also invented Chi (cased hole interpretation) modeling, a procedure for interpreting pulsed neutron logs using backpropagation neural networks.
Jack received his BS in geology and MS in geophysics from the University of Florida. Jack has authored and co-authored numerous technical papers and holds five (5) US patents in the use of artificial intelligence for well log interpretation and aeromagnetic analysis. Jack is a member of the AAPG, SEG, and SPWLA.
