Edwin C. Moritz

Mr. Moritz joined Gustavson Associates in September 1989 and became President of the firm in August 2007. Since that time he has been involved in and personally conducted numerous oil, gas, and mineral fair market appraisals, reserve and economic studies. These studies involved properties in all major producing regions in the U.S. and includes properties in the Anadarko, Permian and East Texas Basins of the Mid-Continent region as well as properties located in the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. Recent emphasis has been placed on international properties and on oil and gas provinces in the Rocky Mountains.  He has worked on numerous unconventional oil and gas projects that include basin-centered gas accumulations and coalbed methane.

Oil and gas appraisal projects have focused on establishing market value of both working and royalty interest properties that are at various stages of development. Work has included both Income and Market Approaches to value. The appraisal reports have been used for civil litigation, tax matters, estate planning, company acquisitions and divestitures, and company financial filings.

Mr. Moritz’ appraisal experience also covers metallic and industrial minerals such as sand and gravel. He has also performed due diligence work and managed feasibility studies on international petroleum projects. This includes work and studies that involved reserve estimates, prospect identification, and preliminary environmental assessments.
