Chemical Engineering

There is an increase in Global proven reserves in tight formations, particularly in the United States as well as other international

areas, such as Argentina, Norway offshore, India, China, Brazil and Chile. As the "state of the art" technology is now proven and improved (George Mitchell of the U.S. "cracked the code") there is no question that these reserve potentials will undergo examination, geological, payback time and local and international marketplaces and commencement of drilling and extraction. I have been involved in this transformation for many years, with advanced degrees in Environmental Engineering experience and in energy environmental control and economic evaluation. Metrics i use in such analysis include but are not limited to effects on national GDP, risks, financing (federal and private), emission sources and control and related evaluations. I also address the other sources other than fossil fuel such as coal, nuclear, biomass and oil to gas ratios.
