AMINOIL INC. 20 Years (Formerly Burmah Oil and Gas Co. and Signal Oil and Gas Co.)

6/83 - 1/85 Vice President Western Region, Huntington Beach, California

Position was responsible for full profit and loss of Aminoil's business west of the Rocky Mountains. The position was answerable to the president and chief operating officer and included operations from oil, gas and geothermal energy. Gross revenues from oil and gas exceeded $150 million with geothermal energy producing just under $25 million per year. Capital spending in the region was $76 million; operating expenses were $50 million and earnings from operations were $70 million. Two-thirds of the company's reserves of 119 million barrels of oil were located in this region and these were increased by 12 percent during 1984.

During the period of time in charge of the region, the daily production of oil was increased from an average of 17,200 barrels of oil per day to an average of 18,200 barrels per day. Under his direction, the region, in 1984, became actively engaged in exploration in the California OCS at Coal Oil Point and offshore Santa

Maria Basin which resulted in the discovery and leasing of billions of barrels of heavy crude oil in offshore Federal waters and a 25 million barrel extension at Coal Oil Point.

The position supervised 340 people (270 in oil and gas and 70 in geothermal). Supervision was accomplished through two Area Managers and five staff managers who directly reported to the position

President LBOD - As Aminoil was the majority interest owner, he was at the same time, President of Long Beach Oil Development Company (operator for the City of Long Beach) producing in excess of 10,000 BOPD.

5/82 - 6/83 Vice President Eastern Region, Houston, Texas

He was responsible for exploration and production operations east of the Rocky Mountains. Gross revenues in this region were $475 million with earnings of $193 million, operating expenses of $78 million and capital spending of $260 million. These revenues were derived primarily from onshore and offshore Gulf Coast production. This position reported directly to the EVP of operations and had five major areas responsible to the position; Denver, Midland, Lafayette, Houston (Gulf Coast Area) and Oklahoma.

During this period he mounted a successful effort to re-explore the offshore Gulf of Mexico and developed new prospective areas. Aminoil and its partners were successful in obtaining interests in 45 new prospects in Lease Sales 72 and 72A covering the Louisiana and Texas portions of the Gulf. He recruited and trained a new manager for the Gulf Coast Area and turned the region over to that man. This position supervised over 500 people.

7/81 - 5/82 Vice President Exploration Houston, Texas

Directed and guided the Exploration Department toward replacing hydrocarbon reserves being produced. Developed the exploration strategies for the department and secured the funding to finance an adequate exploration program operated through an efficient budget. The program was a balanced program to discover long and short-term reserve additions. In this period, through the supervision of 130 people, he was able to discover 25 million barrels with finding cost of $7.50 per barrel, which was below the industry average. This position was a line management position and reported to the EVP of Operations.

Long range regional studies in the Gulf of Mexico and the OCS California were carried out and led to successful leasing efforts. Aminoil, because of these programs, was successful bidder with partners in both areas during 81-82-83 Lease Sales and developed a significant portfolio of good drillable prospects. Left this position during the reorganization by a new Chief Operating Officer that redesigned this function as a staff position. He assumed the line operating position of Vice President Eastern Region.

Directed and guided the programs and people of the Exploration Department. Molded and organized this department into an effective oil-finding group consisting of eight districts covering the United States. Provided adequate staffing to generate quality prospects in order to provide reserve replacement of 20-25 million barrels equivalent per year. The success of this program is demonstrated in the fact that Aminoil's reserves were equal to what they were in 1979, while producing 25 million barrels annually. This position reported to the Vice President of Operations and was upgraded to Vice President level after demonstration of success.

8/74 - 9/80 Manager of Development Geology Houston, Texas

TEXACO INC. 8 Years (2/56 - 9/64 Geologist)

Exploration for oil and gas prospects in various geologic provinces of California, Washington and Oregon. Responsibilities increased from those of area geologist, basin geologist, to regional staff geologist.

This included prospects and extensions resulting in reserve adding projects in the South Mountain View and North Tejon Fields and in the Stevens Province.

As exploration geologist, trained and supervised several geologists now currently working as "explorationists." This period of geologic exploration included the duties of the geophysicists as pertains to preparation and interpretation of reflection seismic, magnetic and gravity surveys. Also, the coordination and direction of contract seismic crews.
