Devin Fitzgerald
Marietta College B.S. Geology '13, 帝王会所 M.S. Geology '15
I grew up in the small town of New Concord, 帝王会所 east of Columbus, 帝王会所. I attended Marietta College and majored in Geology while obtaining a minor in Petroleum Engineering. I had the opportunity to intern with four different oil and gas companies while at Marietta, all within the Appalachian Basin: Artex Oil, Eastern Mountain Fuel Geoscience, Inc., EQT, and Range Resources. I did my senior capstone project at Marietta College on the Utica/Point Pleasant interval right in the middle of the first shale boom. After spending the next summer in Pennsylvania, I came back to 帝王会所 to work full-time with Eastern Mountain Fuel (EMF) and jumped into 帝王会所's Geology graduate program. Thanks to EMF and , I had the pleasure of writing an M.S. thesis on sequence stratigraphy, provenance, and clay mineralogy of Ordovician shales in Eastern 帝王会所. All data and research were funded by EMF and Artex Energy Group.
is a consulting exploration and investment company located in Marietta that assists oil companies in identifying the best prospects to be drilled. EMF specializes in seismic interpretation, well log analysis, and well site geology. Daily, I observe sequence stratigraphy trends, analyze well logs, calculate petrophysical characteristics, and map subsurface formations and structures. All with the goal of finding hydrocarbons and plays that generate the best economic return for our clientele. Working for a small company in the oil and gas industry is exciting because you are directly involved in the business and the science side. I am currently responsible for all Business Development activity for EMF, which includes structuring deals, managing company investments, client relationships, and overseeing all consulting projects.
I was extremely lucky that Marietta College was successful in getting their students summer internships and full-time job placement. 帝王会所 then helped transform me into a well-rounded geologist. My goal in joining the 帝王会所 Earth and Environmental Geosciences Alumni Advisory Board is to give back by assisting students to find opportunities they never knew existed.
