• Managed all geologic and geophysical projects for the exploration and in-field development of over 7,000 active wells in the ARK-LA-TEX and Michigan assets. • Conducted petrophysical analyses, developed analogs, and completed geological models of ETX Cotton Valley prospects. Pursued lease acquisition with a 10-person operations and land team lasting two years.• Delivered numerous technical presentations to key finance professionals.• Supervised the operational activities of two geologists and one geotechnician; both direct reports. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Successfully led a two-well pilot program and new horizontal field discovery at Chapel Hill, ETX, resulting in the highest single well Cotton Valley IP in ETX, and adding 1P reserve value of PV10 $90MM.• Reviewed and ranked all assets based on behind-pipe, deepening, or horizontal potential.• Evaluated recompletion opportunities for 2019, resulting in the program averaging 75% ROR with uplift of >200 boepd. • Evaluated acquisition opportunities in the Permian Basin, DJ Basin, and ARK-LA-TEX, detailing $1.3 Bn in offers submitted and $40 MM in offers transacted. Collaborated with technical team to present to board members of a private equity company.

• Successfully planned, monitored, landed, and geosteered Cotton Valley horizontal drilling program. • Conducted mapping and petrophysics in the Regional (Cotton Valley) and field level (Cotton Valley, Travis Peak, Pettet, Rodessa, Glen Rose) to identify recomplete opportunities and horizontal potential.KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Evaluated offset areas for bolt-on acquisition opportunities, leading to acquisition of ~10,000 net ac (Smith Co, TX) with an inventory of 40+ Hz high-yield locations.• Executed direct bolt-on acquisition of 3000+ net ac (Cherokee Co, TX) of top tier acreage, resulting in highly successful horizontal program of 12 wells.

• Managed continuous two rig drilling program at Santa Fe Springs Field. Conducted subsurface evaluation and mapping of multiple clastic reservoirs.• Optimized field oil cut by identifying water shut-off zones and recompletion opportunities.• Collaborated in planning, acquisition, and interpretation of urban 3D seismic data at Santa Fe Springs. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Extended TD on all new drills to target deeper formations, resulting in 30+PUDs booked as a result of deep well success.

• Conducted geological work of the team and investigated opportunities to increase production.• Identified workover, drill locations and CO2 flood candidates in MI basin (Prairie Du Chein, Niagaran)• Geosteered Antrim shale horizontal drilling program.KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS: • Tasked with planning and executing the horizontal development drilling program at Raccoon Point Field (Sunniland) and evaluated additional fields for infill potential, resulting in the first well drilled yielding the highest IP in the history of the company. After subsequent drilling in the trend, the well still remained the top performing well in the drilling of the company’s history in Florida. • Designed vertical development plan for Lazy JL Field (Spraberry), generating support and receiving approval for 20-acre downspacing, which resulted in optimal asset divestment value.
