COLEVILLE, CA, April 10, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ — R. Scot Buell has been included in Marquis Who’s Who. As in all Marquis Who’s Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Drawing on international expertise in the petroleum industry, Mr. Buell excels as a distinguished lecturer and petroleum engineering consultant for Chevron Corporation. Over the years, he has worked as a portfolio manager and principal investigator for thermal subsurface integrity. He was the company’s representative on four external joint research projects regarding thermal horizontal well design and operation. Likewise, Mr. Buell consulted on high-temperature post-yield tubular design, fiber optic flow profile applications, steam and water flood operations, thermal subsurface integrity assurance, and horizontal well design and operations. Alongside his work at Chevron, he has been an ultra-marathoner, cyclist, rancher, hunter, ski mountaineer, and alpinist for years.
During the early stages of his decades-long tenure with Chevron, Mr. Buell worked as a base business manager, engineer, production superintendent, reservoir engineer, petroleum engineer, and rig supervisor. Through his work with Chevron, he has managed production forecasting for the Southern Africa Business Unit, supervised union and contract employees, as well as 10 well service rigs, managed hundreds of active wells, overseen millions in annual expenditures, and prepared and executed over 125 acid, fracturing, and scale inhibitor treatments. Similarly, Mr. Buell has gained valuable expertise in engineering and research with the Potential Gas Agency/Gas Research Institute, Petro-Lewis, Gulf, and Union Oil of California.
Before starting his professional journey, Mr. Buell earned a Bachelor of Science in petroleum engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. Subsequently, he expanded his considerable knowledge, earning a Master of Science in mineral economics. He wrote the thesis, “Leading Indicators of United States of Oil and Gas Drilling Activity.” A year later, he graduated from his alma mater for a third time with a Master of Science in petroleum engineering. Through his second graduate degree, he conducted his thesis on “Analyzing Injectivity of Non-Newtonian Fluids: An Application of the Hall Plot.” Additionally, Mr. Buell became certified as a decision analysis expert and coach, a registered professional engineer, and a certified API Q1/ISO 9001 auditor and inspector.
Driven to remain abreast of changes in the field, Mr. Buell aligns himself with the Society of Petroleum Engineers. He is dedicated to his community and volunteers with Planned Parenthood and the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Backed by his professional knowledge, he has contributed to numerous papers and presentations, including “Horizontal-Steam-Injection-Flow Profiling Using Fiber Optics,” ‘Operating with Integrity and Excellence in the Oilfield,” “Waterblasting for Scale Removal in the Rangely Weber Sand Unit,” and “The Application of the Cubic and Quadratic Forchheimer Equations in the Design of High Rate Gravel Packed Gas Well Completions.”
While his career has been filled with highlights, Mr. Buell takes the most pride in his dedication and drive, putting seven children through college and becoming a pioneer in fiber optic. On a personal level, he has been working on a challenge called “the 28,” which involves running marathons on all seven continents, completing the Abbott six-star challenge, cycling and skiing on all seven continents, and climbing the highest peaks on every continent except Everest. Though hard work and dedication have brought him far in his career, he credits his success to his unique approach, passion for what he does, and specialized education. Looking ahead, Mr. Buell intends to indulge his passion for adventure sports and help the next generation succeed and positively impact the world.
None of the foregoing could have been accomplished without the support and love of his amazing wife of 40 plus years, Katy.
