Research

Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, and Petroleum Geology of the Michigan Basin, Improved Recovery of oil from old Fields using Horizontal Drilling, Management and Analyses of large oil and gas data sets using Spreadsheets and Databases, Devonian Stratigraphy, Depositional Environments, and Diagenesis in the Michigan Basin

As Director of the Michigan Basin Core Research Laboratory since its inception in 1982, I maintain an ongoing interest in Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Petroleum Geology of strata in the Michigan Basin. Current research activities are focused on reservoir characterization of old Devonian carbonate oil reservoirs in Michigan, with the principal aim of their redevelopment for additional oil recovery.
