I am a consulting petroleum engineer. I opened my consulting firm four years ago. I evaluate the remaining oil and gas reserves in the ground, the expected time to produce and the expected value of these reserves. My clients include oil and gas firms, estates of private individuals, financial institutions and government agencies. I graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1974 with a BS in Chemical Engineering. I began my career with Amoco Production Company as a production engineer. I have also worked in reservoir engineering and acquisitions. My professional license is in Petroleum Engineering. I have worked as a consulting engineer with my own firm and other firms for over 10 years. I am a member of the Society of Women Engineers, Society of Petroleum Engineers, and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers. I am married and the mother of three children, a son in college and two daughters in high school. I am pleased with my choice of engineering as a career because I enjoy helping others to determine the value of their assets in oil and gas. Because the assets are in the ground, the analysis can be an art as well as a science. Changes in economics can have a significant impact on the value of property, so I must keep up with the changing markets for oil and gas. Because I work for myself, I can plan my schedule to accommodate the needs of my children. Being able to blend my family life and my professional career is very important to me. My toughest barrier was when I graduated in 1974. There were not
a lot of women engineers as role models. Today, the petroleum field
still does not have a lot of women in positions of control within
the various companies or agencies. Networking within the field is
a little harder since there are so few women and I have not developed
a large male support group. I am moving beyond consulting to actively
acquiring oil and gas properties.
