(Principal Investigator)
Dr. Lesli J.
Wood is a Research Associate at the Bureau of Economic Geology, The University
of Texas at Austin. Her technical expertise is in clastic sedimentology
and sequence stratigraphy, specializing in integrated petroleum systems
and prospect analysis. Dr. Wood has experience in international acreage
acquisition, exploration prospect development and operations, and regional
hydrocarbon prospectivity evaluation. She is well versed in the integration
of biostratigraphic, oxygen isotopic, geochemical, seismic, and well-log
and production data for subregional and regional basin analysis. Dr. Wood
worked for 6 years in the oil and gas industry, first with the research
division of ARCO and then with Amoco Production Company. Her initial assignment
was with their worldwide exploration organization, then with the E&P
Technology Division, where she was senior geoscientist of the Integrated
Stratigraphic Group and a co-researcher on the Seismic Attributes Development
team.

4 years of teaching and research at the Petroleum University at Beijing
and 3 years of research, exploration, and interpretation at Texaco, Inc.
Bob
Barba (Petrophysicist)
Bob
has been a senior petrophysical advisor at the Bureau of Economic Geology
since 1996. His primary technical expertise is the integration of petrophysical
information with the reservoir engineering and completion engineering
disciplines. He was a Distinguished Lecturer for the Society of Petroleum
Engineers in1995-1996 and a SPE Speaker's Bureau Speaker from 1995 through
1997. He is the primary author of the top industry short course on the
use of petrophysics in hydraulic fracture optimization, with over 2000
attendees from over 100 companies attending to date. His industry experience
includes engineering and technical management positions with Schlumberger
and President of an exploration and production company. He has authored
25 technical papers on the integration of petrophysics with reservoir
and completion engineering. He has a B.S. from the United States Naval
Academy and has a M.S. from the University of Florida.
Mark
H. Holtz (Reservoir Engineer)
Mark
H. Holtz is a reservoir engineer with over 15 years of reservoir-characterization
experience at the Bureau of Economic Geology. His expertise is integration
of geology and engineering in both carbonate and sandstone oil and gas
reservoirs. He has authored or co-authored 14 University of Texas Monographs,
45 technical papers, and 31 abstracts on reservoir characterization. His
engineering experience has been broadly applied in primary and secondary
oil and gas projects throughout Texas, as well as siliciclastic successions
in the Australian Cooper and Eromanga Basins; various basins in Venezuela,
Argentina, and Mexico; and the Vienna Basin of Austria. He has taught
more than 15 short courses (in-house oil company courses, public continuing
education, and DOE technology transfer courses). He holds a B.S. in geology
from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering
from The University of Texas at Austin. He serves as a reservoir engineering
technical editor, was the secretary of the Austin chapter for the Society
of Petroleum Engineers, and is a registered professional engineer with
the state of Texas.
Dallas
B. Dunlap (Geologist)
Dallas
has been employed by the Bureau of Economic Geology since 1996. His expertise
is in subsurface mapping and geologic/petrophysical modeling. Dallas has
been involved with multiple domestic and international reservoir characterization
projects. Many of these projects were in Venezuela, on- and offshore,
as well as Austria, and the Gulf of Mexico. He gives inhouse software
training classes and gives software workflow guidance to many of the Bureau's
projects. He acts as the system administrator to the UNIX geologic applications
and helps with technical support. Dallas is also a member of the Bureau's
3D Visualization team, which uses emerging computer technologies to present
geologic models and data in a virtual cave environment. He has a B.S.
in Geological Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin.
