Christine A. Glatz
Christy A. Glatz joined DeGolyer and MacNaughton in 2011, as a geologist specialist in reservoir characterization and 3-D geocellular modeling. Prior to joining D&M, she worked for 7 years as a geologist for Schlumberger Oilfield Services in Algeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Glatz earned a bachelor’s degree in geology from the University of Maine in 2003. She earned her master’s degree in petroleum geoscience in 2015 from the University of London. She is a licensed professional geoscientist in the State of Louisiana. She is a certified petroleum geologist and a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG). She was elected a Vice President of D&M in 2015.
