Who We Are CBM photo

We maintain a staff of highly competent technical personnel to ensure excellence in the quality of our work and in the service to our clients. We combine our thorough technical evaluations with solid experience and sound professional judgment. The average experience level of our technical staff exceeds 20 years, including 5 to 15 years with a major oil company. Most of our engineers, geoscientists, and petrophysicists obtained their initial training and experience with ARCO, British Gas, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, or ExxonMobil. We recruit only those with the right combination of academic excellence, sound judgment, intuitive skills, relevant experience, and an understanding of the critical relationship that exists between the petroleum and financial industries.

Our staff of petroleum analysts reflects the same high levels of academic excellence and scientific aptitude. Our engineering and geologic analysts generally have 3 to 15 years experience and have degrees in mathematics, computer science, geology, or business. They have diverse skills in data loading, database management, economic modeling, spreadsheet manipulation, computer mapping, well log processing, and report preparation.
