In addition to the published papers I have presented 12 oral or poster presentations at AAPG ACE, ICE or GTW meetings. The subjects of these presentations have ranged from basin evaluation to reserves to economic evaluations. In addition I have prepared and presented talks aimed at the AAPG students and Young Professionals on ethics and how to prepare your career. I have also presented at SPE meetings on unconventional plays and the use of the SPE\AAPG PRMS system in evaluating those plays. I have a poster that has been accepted for the 2018 ACE in Salt Lake City on quantification of "Sweet Spots" in Unconventional Reservoirs.
