Major Projects
Baumgartner’s work has been focused on working with PHDWin to generate production forecasts for unconventional resources by coupling decline-curve analysis with well performance diagnostics.
Prior to joining D&M, he provided reservoir engineering support for Moyes & Company’s technical and commercial advisory services primarily serving clients in the upstream international oil and gas industry. As part of this work, he prepared fair market valuations of upstream oil and gas assets for international arbitrations, United States bankruptcy proceedings, and corporate portfolio management purposes. He played a key role in support of expert witness testimony related to the topics of the proper application of the PRMS, valuation of upstream oil and gas assets, reservoir management, field development planning, and production forecasting. Further, he has conducted numerous reserves and resources evaluations in accordance with the SEC and PRMS.
