From page 27...
... Shortly after graduation he began his career with Exxon. From the outset, his work demonstrated versatility and practicability in a broact area, including radiocarbon dating of recent earth sediments and gamma-ray logging of bore holes into these sediments of importance to geologists anct engineers in exploration and development of petroleum deposits.

From page 28...
... His early development of the gravity meter for bore measurement of the density of sediments helped in the identification of suitable foundation support for the heavy platforms needed in this endeavor. Ray was involved in practically every development in offshore structures: platforms, pipelines, and submerged and bottomfounded drilling and production systems.
