Paul was raised in Douglas, Wyoming at the southern end of the Powder River Basin. The diverse and complex geology of Wyoming gave me my interest in geology. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Petroleum Geology, he went to work for Devon Energy as a Geological Technician. It was here that I developed skills in data organization and software such as Petra, Geographics, and Petrel. While working at Devon, he attended Oklahoma State University in the evenings to obtain a M.S. in Geology. In his years at Devon as a geologist, he had the opportunity to work most of the basins in the Rockies and Mid-Continent including geology exploration leader for the Anadarko Basin. From Devon he went to work for SM Energy in Tulsa where he had his first experiences with the Ark-La-Tex and Gulf Coast regions and continued prospecting the Anadarko Basin. His time at SM was short as private equity companies were developing quickly and he went to work for Double Eagle out of Fort Worth. At Double Eagle, as lead geologist, we had two successful entities; the first in southern Oklahoma and the second in the Midland Basin. After the sale of Double Eagle II to Parsley Energy for $3.7 billion, he went over to another private equity company, Panther Energy, where we discovered and developed prospects in the Powder River Basin and Gulf Coast region of Louisiana.
