Paul Davis

Mr. Davis is a petroleum geoscientist with an MS in geology at the University of Houston, and an MA in history at Utah State University. His employment in the oil and gas industry for about nine years as a geoscientist has resulted in a broad range of experience in the unconventional and conventional disciplines. He was involved in conventional deepwater exploration geology in the Gulf of Mexico (Keathly Canyon, Walker Ridge, Mississippi Canyon, Green Canyon) with exploration tasks that included seismic interpretation, structure and isopach mapping, well log correlation, and prospect generation. His unconventional experience was in the Eagle Ford and the Permian Basins with tasks that included well log correlation, structure and isopach mapping, geosteering and mudlogging. Additional experience includes geohazard assessment in the Gulf of Mexico with seismic interpretation of the seafloor, top of salt, intermediate horizons, and faults in order to understand the overall geology, and determine seafloor anomalies as well as subsurface shallow gas, shallow water flow, and gas hydrates. Mr. Davis is fluent in Spanish and French and thus able to communicate in relevant international projects.
