As one of America’s pioneering petroleum geologists, his legacy was one of both scientific and professional achievements. A visionary in his undertaking to couple civic and social responsibilities as a profession, he brought passion and dedication to his work throughout a distinguished career.

His declaration, “Where oil is first found, in the final analysis, is in the minds of men” (WE Pratt, AAPG, 1952), embodies our company namesake, our passion for the profession, and our commitment to responsible operations.
