KENNETH W. GROVE, CHIEF GEOLOGIST

Ken Grove has 22 years of professional geological experience. He has reviewed and evaluated coalbed methane (CBM) projects on a worldwide basis. His CBM experience has included mapping of coalbeds, determination of coal rank and gas yields, and the calculation of in-place and recoverable coalbed methane resources.

Mr. Grove’s considerable experience includes regional mapping and basin analysis and the delineation of drillable prospects, the interpretation and integration of seismic data including seismic stratigraphy applications, drillsite identification, well site geology, log analysis, reservoir characterization, and economic evaluation.

He has been involved in the geological evaluation of gas reserves and has provided expertise on the feasibility of using horizontal drilling techniques to develop fractured reservoirs. In addition, he has co-authored reports on the natural gas resources of Russia and China, the coal-related resources of the Ukraine, oil and gas resources of Indonesia, and hydrocarbon prospectivity and basin analysis of the Bechar Basin-Algeria.
