WellDog is a coal bed methane assessment technology company that seeks to minimize the environmental impact and water losses associated with drilling for coal bed methane. Its technology allows companies to detect the presence and level of coal bed methane before putting wells into production. The WellDog service brings significant savings and operational accuracy to coal bed methane operators. Walsh comes with 27 years domestic and international executive management, marketing and sales experience in oil and gas and related industries, including 23 years in a variety of sales, marketing, and executive roles for the Schlumberger group of companies. Walsh brings proven P & L skills particularly important to WellDog during its early equity stages. Walsh has also held executive positions with Expro Americas, Inc. and Faure Herman Meter, Inc., prominent companies in the oil field service sector. "Walsh's experience developing strategic partnerships with major oil and gas players is extremely valuable to WellDog," said Pope. "His international market entry experience is also indispensable as we ramp up Ramp Up To increase a company's operations in anticipation of increased demand. Notes: A company might 'ramp up' operations if they just signed a contract creating substantially more demand for their product. See also: Demand, Economies of Scale for a domestic and international launch while simultaneously seeking equity partners." Walsh attended Columbia University's executive leadership and marketing management programs and holds a Bachelor of Science Noun 1. Bachelor of Science - a bachelor's degree in science BS, SB bachelor's degree, baccalaureate - an academic degree conferred on someone who has successfully completed undergraduate studies in electrical engineering electrical engineering: see engineering. electrical engineering Branch of engineering concerned with the practical applications of electricity in all its forms, including those of electronics. from University of Southwestern Louisiana. He is a member of The Society of Petroleum Engineers and is a registered Professional Engineer. John J. Herries, vice president of technology, comes with seven years technology-related experience. He helped to develop WellDog's detection technology and value proposition. Herries most recently held the position of scientist and entrepreneur with The Blue Sky Group, a Laramie, Wyo.-based hard technology incubator. While there, Herries designed, specified and implemented new applications of established technology, prepared materials and assisted Blue Sky's intellectual property attorney in applying for five pending patents. He also established close relationships with industry professionals, government regulators, strategic partners and future customers. "Herries value lies in his intimate knowledge of our detection technology and the coal bed methane industry as a whole," said Pope. Herries holds a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from Truman State University Campus Situated in the southern part of the city of Kirksville, Truman's main campus is situated around a slightly wooded quadrangle. By long standing policy, the entire campus is officially "dry," meaning that alcohol is not allowed (though the president of the university has and is completing his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry analytical chemistry: see under chemistry. at the University of Wyoming UW is a national research university prominent in the fields of environment and natural resource research, specializing in agriculture, energy, geology, and water resource related fields. . Herries held graduate and undergraduate research assistant positions with the University of Wyoming and Truman University, respectively. Herries has published four papers and developed five presentations regarding soil absorption phenomena, the underlying science for WellDog's technology. He is a member of the American Chemical Society The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a learned society (professional association) based in the United States that supports scientific inquiry in the field of chemistry. Founded in 1876 at New York University, the ACS currently has over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in and the Alpha Chi Sigma Alpha Chi Sigma (ΑΧΣ) is a professional fraternity specializing in the field of chemistry.

WellDog's administrative, sales and marketing team is based in Denver. The company's technology team will remain in the Laramie, Wyo. office. About WellDog WellDog is a coal bed methane assessment technology company that seeks to minimize environmental impact and water losses associated with drilling for coal bed methane. Its technology allows companies to detect the presence and level of coal bed methane before putting the well on production. The WellDog service brings significant savings and operational accuracy to oil and gas companies who generally are forced to waste money, time, and environmental resources completing wells that will never produce methane. The Blue Sky Group, the parent company of WellDog, was hired to evaluate a Russian technology for detecting gas hydrates in the Gulf of Mexico Noun 1. Gulf of Mexico - an arm of the Atlantic to the south of the United States and to the east of Mexico Golfo de Mexico Atlantic, Atlantic Ocean - the 2nd largest ocean; separates North and South America on the west from Europe and Africa on the east . Gas hydrates are hazards to drilling and production, can clog up pipelines and can be dangerously unstable. The company was able to adapt a reliable technology used in industrial applications to accurately detect gas hydrates. After the company completed the project, it was realized it would have great value in the coal bed methane industry, where there is currently no fast, economical, and accurate way to predict the value of coal bed methane gas in a well that has been drilled. |
