OIL AND GAS CONSULTING SERVICES
Jeff Findl has over 10 years direct experience working in the oil and gas industry as both an employee for an oil and gas company and as an independent petroleum geologist. Jeff’s consulting clients included 36 independent oil and gas companies working in the Appalachian Basin. Small-sized local oil companies that lacked a geology staff contracted Jeff’s services, along with larger out-of-state oil companies that preferred
contracting a local independent geologist for their oil drilling. Jeff performed oil and gas work in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennesse, Kentucky and Colorado. He provided clients with well site geologic analysis, well completion reports, and drilling prospect evaluation reports. In 1984-85, Jeff was contracted by a
large Oklahoma-based oil company to be their well site geologist for nine (9) very deep wildcat exploration wells in Ohio. Overall, Jeff performed well site geologic evaluations at approximately 60 oil and gas wells on behalf of client companies. In 1988-89, some research and land leasing were performed in the DJ Basin of Colorado.
Jeff spent much of his non-billable time at the Ohio Dept. of Nat. Resources researching drilling records with the idea of leasing promising acreage for
potential oil and gas exploration. Through these efforts, Jeff leased the mineral rights for several acreage holdings in SE Ohio. Additionally, he negotiated a natural gas purchase agreement with Tenneco covering his lease holdings. During 1985-87, Jeff partnered with various different oil companies and
investor firms to drill wells on properties he had previously leased. A total of seventeen (17) oil and gas wells and one brine injection well were drilled on Jeff’s leases. After his business partners raised the drilling funds, Jeff’s responsibilities were to be in the field, managing operations, and performing geologist & engineering duties.
Tasks Included:
- Well permitting, building roads and drilling pads,
- Supervising well drilling
- Pipe cementing
- Well logging & perforating,
- Designing reservoir fracturing treatments,
- Constructing fluid and gas pipelines
- Constructing tank farms
- Well completion reports that included subsurface geologic maps, evaluations of electric/nuclear logs, descriptions of rock cuttings, recommendations to “produce or plug”, and well construction & completion details.
- Purchase all the oil field equipment including piping/tubing/rods, well heads, storage tanks, separators, pump jacks, electrical equipment, motors, transfer pumps, and pipeline material.
- Supervised field crews and administered project budgets to insure that well costs stayed within budget.
prepared subsurface isopach maps and
structural maps, researched and evaluated the economic merits for leasing
additional mineral rights acreage
Jeff was an previous AAPG member.
- Attended various well logging and reservoir fracturing short-courses sponsored by Halliburton and Schlumberger.

This was Jeff’s first job after graduating from college. About 80% of
the time, he worked at a 3-person rock lab in the Port of Los Angeles area,
analyzing rock samples collected from oil wells for parameters such as porosity,
permeability, and oil & brine content. The other 20% of the time, Jeff worked
at oil well drilling sites in Ventura County collecting and preparing core
samples (up to 30' long cores) for lab analysis. Jeff occasionally traveled to offshore
rigs to retrieve core samples.
