Work Experience:
May 1995 - Present
William M. Cobb & Associates, Inc.
Senior Vice President

Specializes in reservoir evaluation and simulation studies to define remaining oil and gas reserves and to provide ultimate recovery by predicting reservoir performance under alternate development plans and various reservoir drive mechanisms
Recent projects include several simulation-based waterflood evaluations of both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs; CO₂ miscible flood evaluations of both domestic and international properties; and analytical screening studies of waterflood candidates; and the successful unitization of an east Texas waterflood; and serving as an expert witness for drainage issues related to the Austin Chalk, Cotton Valley and Travis Peak formations

ARCO Alaska - Prudhoe Bay Field
Senior Staff Engineer

Responsible for the development planning, production forecasting, reserves evaluation, data collection, equity and facility-sharing negotiations for five new fields (15 - 60 MMBO reserves each) in the Prudhoe Bay area
Advised ARCO management on issues related to production facility sharing with other working interest owners in the Prudhoe Bay area
Coordinated $4MM/year R&D program supporting Prudhoe Bay development, including areas of reservoir description, simulation, and geological analysis

1989 - 1991
ARCO Alaska - West Sak Field
Area Engineer

Supervised 10-12 professionals in the development of West Sak heavy oil field through reservoir description, reservoir simulation, technology development (including waterflood, miscible flood, and completion technologies), economic evaluation, and field testing

1987 - 1989
ARCO Alaska - Kuparuk Field
Lead/Staff Reservoir Engineer

1983 - 1987
