Scott Dodson

Manager, Regional Study Team

Scott Dodson joined NuTech in 2008. As Manager of the Regional Studies Evaluation Team, he is responsible for the development and maintenance of regional scale geological models that incorporate petrophysical, geophysical, depositional, and core analysis information. Mr. Dodson graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Geological Sciences.  

In his career he has accomplished the following:

  • Generated geological models located in more than a dozen major basins, both domestic and international, utilizing Schlumberger’s Petrel and Roxar’s Reservoir Modeling Solutions (RMS) modeling software for petroleum reservoirs.
  • Completed regional studies of major unconventional shale plays located in North America including the Wolfcamp, Bone Spring, Spraberry, STACK, SCOOP, Utica, Marcellus, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, and several others.
  • Led team-based collaborative assessments of reservoir potential for new venture opportunities in hydrocarbon-bearing plays.
  • Incorporated well production records and pressure tests into reservoir models to better understand remaining reserve potential and reservoir connectivity in historically productive fields.
  • Generated viable new drill opportunities through advanced geological correlation and mapping strategies.

Mr. Dodson’s extensive knowledge of geological modeling and depositional systems allow him to support asset evaluation efforts of NuTech’s customers. Mr. Dodson is affiliated with the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and the Houston Geological Society (HGS).
