Senior Geoscientist, Noble Energy

>> My name's Timothy Watson and I'm geoscientist with Noble Energy. It can include planning and executing drilling well locations, monitoring the progress of the drilling. It can include generating local or regional geologic maps. Both targeting a particular formation or a whole series of stratigraphic intervals. It can involved advising along with engineers as to how to proceed with completion of a well. It also it can include something more along the lines of advising business development on new places to potentially acquire leases or properties or to what to potentially divest. Until recently, I had been the geologist for the Gates Ranch Asset, you know. Keeping up with as many as eight different rigs at a time that were drilling on the ranch or an adjacent ranch. And so there were a lot of moving parts. You know I'd be generating maps and refining the locations for all the individual wells. Ensuring that the predictions that I made were correct and where they weren't or where they were off, I would adjust them and you know, it was a lot of activity at once. A lot of moving parts but you know, it led to a lot of value for the company.
