Biographical Sketches:
George B. Asquith: George B. Asquith received his Ph.D. degree in geology from the University of Wisconsin/Madison and has
some [5 years experience throughout North America involving geological consulting, prospect development and evaluation,
research, and teaching. In addition to independent consulting work, he has held various positions with Humble Oil and Refining
Co.: Atlantic Richfield Co.; Alpar Resources Inc., Search Drilling Company, and with the University of Wisconsin, West Texas
State University. and Killgore Research Center. He is presently Exploration Coordinator, for the Pioneer Production Corporation,
Amarillo, Texas.
Dr. Asquith has authored two books, Subsurface Carbonate Depositional Models, and Log Analysis by Microcomputer. He has
also written numerous articles and abstracts in the fields of carbonate petrology, sandstone petrology, and computer geology. and has
served as a reviewer forthe AAPG Bulletin, Texas Journal of Science, and Journal of Sedimentary Petrology.
His areas of specialization in petroleum exploration inctude: subsurface carbonate and clastic depositional models, identification
of lithologies from logs. and computer applications to tog interpretation. He has applied his areas of specialization to a number of
different basins including the Anadarko, San Juan, Permian. and Williston basins. and also in the Gulf Coast (onshore and offshore).
Central Texas. the Rocky Mountains, and Canada.
During 1979-1981. Dr. Asquith presented short course lectures for the American Association of Petroleum Geologists throughout
the United States and in Canada and Brazil. He is currently a lecturer and Science Advisor with the American Association of
Petroleum Geologists” Continuing Education Program and serves as an AAPG Visiting Petroleum Geologist.
Charles R. Gibson: Charles Richard Gibson is exploration manager and vice-president for Alpar Resources, Inc.. Perryton,
Texas. As a geologic undergraduate in 1965, he was employed by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation in their Arizona project
for geologic field mapping of iron ore deposits and base metal geochemistry exploration, collecting soil samples and running wet
chemical analyses. Education was postponed for military duty where, at the termination of his advanced military training, he was
selected and qualified to serve with the 3rd Infantry (The Old Guard), Fort Myer, Virginia. Returning to the University of Southern
Colorado. Gibson received his B.S. degree in geology in 1970, and was granted a Graduate Teaching Assistantship to continue
advanced studies at West Texas State University.
Since joining Alpar Resources. Inc.. in 1972. Gibson has been involved in a diverse range of subsurface clastic and carbonate
exploration and development studies from the Gulf Coast to the Williston basin and has co-authored several published technical
papers.
He has a special interest in applying computerized log analyses to solve complex lithologic and production problems. Gibson
obtained his M.S. degree from West Texas State University in 1977. He is certified by the A.IL.P.G, A.A.P.G., and is a member of
the Society of Professional Well Log Analysts.
