Fred V. Byther
Vice President-Exploration  
 

Co-founder Oracle Resources, LTD. Fred began his career in 1977 in East Texas for J.D. Sistrunk Jr. after graduating from the University of Texas - Arlington with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology. He began working for Sunmark Exploration (ORYX), in 1980 as a Deep Anadarko Basin exploration geologist developing depositional models and exploration methodologies that became standards for Sunmark's Anadarko exploration and development teams. Fred retired from ORYX (Kerr McGee) in 1998 and subsequently worked for Snyder Oil Corp.

STRATEGRAPHIC AND DEEP SAND EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT
TO DEEP WOODBINE:

Fred started working Double A Wells in 1993. He initiated a Woodbine / Tuscaloosa study at ORYX in 1995 and the first Double A Wells 3-D shoot in 1998. He took part in the Woodbine / Tuscaloosa study and recognized that much of the Woodbine in Polk County is Turonian in age and deposited in shallower water than previously thought. Fred has presented to industry his depositional models (Blackstone's Woodbine Symposium, to the Fort Worth, Dallas and Houston Geological Societies, and SIPES). He has presented depositional models at various venues over the past 7 years including, presentations to BP Amoco, Comstock and Anadarko's predecessor, UPR, continuing to refine Oracle's geological and geophysical models using excellent 3-D combined with additional paleo and biostratigraphic data. His experience includes:

• Applying recognized and accepted geological and geophysical concepts together with the application of conceptual creativity allowing Oracle to identify new and/or overlooked prospects with significant economic potential
  
  
• Williston Basin group geological manager (Sunmark), and later assumed the position of western regional planner in Denver
  
  Subsequently assigned to Dallas as the mid-continent senior exploration geologist (ORYX)
  
  Served as project leader on an extensive regional study of the Hunton Group for 2 ½ years
  
  Texas Gulf Coast interpreter of a 60 square mile 3-D survey in Chambers County, while working on a seemingly insignificant onshore Woodbine field named Double A Wells
  
  Lead role as a highly proactive liaison to managing partners in the development of Double A Wells, resulting in the emergence of the field as ORYX’s most prolific onshore producer
  
  
• Served as team leader in a regional study of the Woodbine in the search for additional prolific onshore fields such as Double A Wells
