Reservoir Characterization
• Reservoir characterization for feasibility and permitting of two brine disposal injection wells in the Castaic
Junction, Newhall-Portrero, and Del Valle oil and gas fields, using existing oil/gas well records Newhall, CA.
• Subsurface Mapping: Hydrostratigraphic interpretation and groundwater conditions of the northern Solano
County deep aquifer system using oil and gas logs from multiple well fields in Northern CA.
• Crew on 2-D seismic survey. Publication: A Geophysical Investigation of Shallow Deformation Along an
Anomalous Section of the Wasatch Fault Zone, Utah, USA, McBride et al, GSA Environmental & Engineering

• Coursework – one-year 3-D seismic interpretation course by Bill Keach using Halliburton’s GeoProbe®
Software. Final Project: Analysis of Santos Basin, Brazil using 3-D seismic dataset in GeoProbe®.
• Coursework – Sequence Stratigraphy for Graduate Students short-course taught by Art Donovan (BP),
Morgan Sullivan (Chevron), and Kathryn Lamb-Wozniak (Exxon-Mobile) at GSA Annual Meeting, 2009.
Reservoir Simulation
• More than 7 years of experience in advanced groundwater flow and transport modeling.
• Application of transition probability geostatistics to develop a 3-D representation of reservoir architecture
resulting from the complex interaction of two co-depositional alluvial fans.
• Coursework – “Modern Well Test Analysis” short-course taught by Roland Horne, Stanford University.
Advanced well test analysis for reservoir characterization, future production scenarios, and simulation.
Structural Geology
• Identification of existing structural features and evaluation of their influence on fluid migration in the
Castaic Junction, Newhall-Portrero, and Del Valle oil and gas fields.
• Geological technician for IGES llc. Bluffdale, Utah – perform geologic hazards investigations on pre-
residential lands, emphasizing fault and landslide hazards along the Wasatch Front, Utah. (2006-2007)
• Teaching Assistant for structure section of summer field camp (BYU). Focus on uplift and folding of
Colorado Plateau in response to Sevier Orogeny.
Project Management
• Directed a 5 person team in developing a calibrated groundwater flow and transport model to define
potential future impacts related to a large-scale water transfer in CA’s Central Valley.
• Oversaw the exploratory drilling phase of a shallow geothermal project. Responsibilities included oversight
of drilling contractor and field personnel, client/project team coordination, and presentation of results.
• Managed an original research project exploring the use of “dry wells” for injecting stormwater to the
shallow subsurface. Responsibilities included project definition, proposal preparation, design, team
coordination, presentation of concept, and frequent interaction with regulatory agencies.
