Major Projects
Neat’s work involves evaluating producing wells to determine type curves and recoverable volumes from undeveloped locations. In addition, he has also done well performance evaluation in unconventional reservoirs using production-performance diagnostic techniques. At D&M, Neat has worked extensively with PHDWin and Citrine to assist in his evaluations of reserves.
Recent work has included a number of well performance studies and reserves evaluations of shale oil and gas plays in North America (Bakken, Codell, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Marcellus, Niobrara, Three Forks, Utica, Wolfcamp, and Woodford).
