... He spent the next 18 years, from 1957 to 1974, with Shell Oil or Shell Development Company, primarily as a reservoir geologist working on the application of well logs and reservoir geophysics to sandstone and carbonate reservoirs in the United States and Canada. He also trained geologists, geophysicists, and engineers to work together, the so-called "multidisciplinary team" approach, which reshaped how Shell, and eventually the entire industry, conducted business.
