Team

Neal Peeler, VP of Business Development
Mr. Peeler has over 30 years experience in the petroleum industry. His prior experience with a service company includes working as a Field Engineer, Log Analyst, and Global Account Manager with their business development group. Neal has extensive experience working open hole well logs in the Gulf Coast and South Texas areas. His professional affiliations include SPWLA and HGS.


Val J. Lincecum, Senior Petrophysical Consultant
Recent assignments include: Successful domestic and international project completions for clients that include super-majors, major independents, major foreign independents and reserve engineers. Strong understanding of end user requirements for petrophysical data regardless of discipline (i.e. geologist, geophysicist, engineering). Expert in multi-well petrophysical project development and studies developing sound petrophysical analysis and efficient workflows. Strong skills in developing NMR based petrophysical models. Developed extensive rock properties capture routines linked with pore pressure attributes. These are custom designed as per end user requirements. Solid understanding of interrelationships of pore pressure to rock properties. Worked closely and successfully with geophysicists in defining seismic rock properties. Twenty years of electric wireline operations experience.


Thomas A. Gray, Senior Petrophysical Consultant
A petrophysicist with over 25 years of experience in domestic and international basins, Mr. Gray has extensive knowledge of geology, geophysics, and reservoir engineering including formation evaluations, field studies, well evaluations, coring and analysis, reservoir pressure interpretation, and modeling. He has organized and managed several large-scale petrophysical evaluations involving active drilling programs and has field experience with open- and cased-hole well logging. His previous work experience includes major oil and wireline firms and his professional affiliations include AAPG and SPWLA.


Barry J. Wilson, Senior Petrophysicist
Mr. Wilson is a petrophysicist and geologist with 20 years of experience in geological well operations, wellsite geology, field development, exploration, and enhanced oil recovery projects. He is experienced in multi-well studies for both domestic and international projects. Mr. Wilson is a certified software instructor for various commercial log analysis products and author of professional papers, training manuals and course curriculum. His previous work experience has included major operating companies and consulting groups.


Andrew Reynolds, Senior Petrophysicist
A petrophysicist with more than 30 years of experience, Mr. Reynolds has for many years managed well logging field and computing center operations. He also has experience in diverse basins worldwide. He is experienced in regional studies and integrated field studies and has a record of successful recommendations for completions. An accomplished database programmer, Mr. Reynolds previous positions include international consulting and wireline companies.


Megan Johnson, Petrophysicist
Mrs. Johnson earned a masters degree in geological engineering and a bachelors in geoscience. She received petrophysical training in formation evaluation as an intern with two major oil companies. Megan has worked single-well and large multi-well studies at PSI with experience in managing extensive project databases. Her areas of work include multiple fields in Texas, Wyoming, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, California, Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, Greenland, Russia, Angola and Iraq. Megan is actively affiliated with AAPG and SPWLA.


Glenn E. Rayfield, Petrophysical & Geological Consultant
Twenty-three years experience as a petrophysicist and geologist in the petroleum industry. Strong background in the integration of geological, petrophysical, and production data. Extensive work in reservoir simulation studies. Domestic and international experience in comprehensive petrophysical evaluations of complex reservoirs, utilizing both workstation and PC based programs. Experience in development, reservoir, and operations geology, including reserve and acquisition evaluations. Excellent technical writing skills. Detail oriented, good team player, dependable.

Gary Myers, Sr. Petrophysical Consultant
Mr. Myers worked the past 30 years as a petrophysicist at major producing companies - ARCO, Conoco and finally ConocoPhillips. He started out building neutron induced gamma ray tools and became a well regarded expert in nuclear logging. Later he worked in NMR data analysis. Most recently he expanded into rock physics and seismic petrophysics. Throughout his career, Gary has worked all manor of projects and environments, from cased hole logging at Prudhoe Bay, to reservoir studies in the Gulf of Mexico and well site in the far east. He has worked carbonates in Dubai and Western Siberia, clastics in the Caspian, the Rottliegendes, and many of the recent U.S. shale plays. A believer in the multi-disciplinary approach, Gary plays well with geologists, geophysicists and engineers. He is fluent in petrophysical computing and has developed interpretation software.  He was an SPWLA distinguished speaker, a member of the API nuclear calibration pit committee, authored a chapter in the SPE Petroleum Engineering Handbook, and is still an associate editor for "Petrophysics." Gary holds a PhD in physics.

Richard M. Ostermeier, Senior Petrophysical Consultant
Dr. Ostermeier is a senior petrophysicist with over 32 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.  Over 31 of those years were spent with Shell in various operations, research and management positions.  His primary interests are in the areas of technology development and application.  For example, he led Shell's deep-reading EM project to a successful proof-of-concept.  His work runs the gamut of petrophysics from EOR and CO2 sequestration project planning, evaluation and monitoring to research on carbonate and diatomite evaluation, cased-hole logging, rock properties and mechanics, and open-hole wireline and LWD log response, theory, and interpretation.  In his work on the Shallow Water Flow (SWF) control problem in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, he used LWD resistivity logs to infer the presence of massive washouts in the shallow sands at the first Ursa TLP site.  This contributed to the universal acceptance and application of the so-called “pump and dump” drilling technique for drilling the shallow sediments.  In the area of rock properties he led the experimental investigation that first explained the large variation in stress behavior among what appeared to be very similar turbidite reservoirs in the deep water Gulf of Mexico.  He holds a B.S. degree in engineering physics from the University of Illinois and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Chicago.  Professional affiliations include SPWLA, SCA, SPE and SEG.  He received the SPWLA Distinguished Service Award in 2007.
