Backed by his impressive career in the petroleum industry, Mr. Buell excelled as a distinguished lecturer and petroleum engineering consultant for the Society of Petroleum Engineers through the Chevron Corporation before retiring in 2018. In the years since his retirement, he has fostered his passion for athletics as a rancher, hunter, cyclist, ultra-marathoner, ski mountaineer, and alpinist.

During the early stages of his career, Mr. Buell gained valuable expertise with Chevron as a base business manager, engineer, production superintendent, reservoir engineer, petroleum engineer, rig supervisor, and engineering trainee. Over the years, he has worked on various projects related to thermal heavy oil and water flooding in several states.
