Summary

I have worked in the oilfield industry for 45+ years, starting as a Roughneck and working my way up to my present position. Part of my work experience has included moving barge rigs from Corpus Christi, TX to Mobile, AL. This has included working in both State and Federal waters. I have also drilled in high-pressure well situations on 20,000’+ wells for major companies, like ExxonMobil, Chevron-Texaco, Mc Moran and Apache and established a core rig status with these companies. I worked for 16 years at Parker Drilling with only one recordable accident: 1,237 days working in Federal waters, no Federal inc’s. I have worked as a Drilling and Completion Consultant for EPL and Energy XXI in the West Delta and Ship Shoal area. I have also worked for Wild Horse Resource’s, Memorial Resources, and Range Resources, in the Cotton Valley formations. I am again currently working for Wild Horse Resources drilling the Austin Chalk and Eagleford in the College Station, TX area. Worked in Haynesville with Trinity Operating and in Dilly Texas in chalk and Eagleford formations. Involved in drilling field record for fastest 9.875 intermediate hole (@71.12 Fph 7859 ft. in 110 hrs. Also set Cotton Valley state lateral footage record with 7,874 @ 47.3 Fph with a one 6.75 bit.
