A petroleum engineering expert witness with more than 45 years of experience in the chemical and oil and gas sectors, this expert focuses on exploration and production operations and engineering analysis related to well construction, reservoir performance, and subsurface fluid management. The expert holds a B-Tech in Chemical Engineering and an M.S. in Petroleum Engineering and is licensed as a Professional Engineer (P.E.). Professional affiliations include the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), American Association of Drilling Engineers (AADE), European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC), and the Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC). The expert’s work includes engineering evaluation of casing design and cementing, well integrity, hydraulic fracturing and stimulation of tight oil and gas reservoirs, solids injection through fracture slurry injection, and CO₂ geologic sequestration. The expert’s technical background also includes production operations, well testing, reservoir engineering, geophysical logging, drilling, completion, stimulation, and workover operations associated with conventional and unconventional oil and gas development. The expert has more than 20 years of experience serving as an expert witness, providing consultation as well as deposition and courtroom testimony in matters involving petroleum engineering operations and well performance.

Current work includes leadership of a petroleum engineering consulting practice focused on oil and gas exploration and production operations, injection and disposal well systems, and well integrity evaluation across conventional and unconventional reservoirs. The expert’s experience includes engineering analysis of injection and disposal wells, evaluation of enhanced oil recovery methods such as CO₂ flooding, water alternating gas processes, steam flooding, and polymer flooding, and assessment of operational practices affecting subsurface pressure control and reservoir management. Technical work has also addressed environmental and regulatory considerations, including groundwater protection and potential impacts associated with well design, cementing practices, and hydraulic fracturing operations.
