KGF TAPE REVIEWS
ing oil and gas is only 40% of the battle,
getting it out of the ground is the hard part,
requiring experienced, knowledgeable and
logical thinkers. His field personnel led by
Carl Durr meet the requirements.
He belongs to a number of profes-
sional organizations, including: American
Association of Petroleum Geologists; Soci-
ety of Independent Earth Scientists, where
he served as Wichita Chapter Chair-
man; Kansas Geological Society; Okla-
homa City Geological Society; West Texas
Geological Society; and Rocky Mountain
Association of Geologists. In the Commu-
nity, he has worked with both Quails
Unlimited and Ducks Unlimited. He also
has served on the Wichita Crime Commis-
sion and been a member of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Kansas Independent Oil and
Gas Association and Junior Achievement.
From his perspective as a major
company employee and an independent,
Wayne would offer this advice to the geolo-
gist entering the field: "Get a good working
knowledge of his tools", ie, electric logs,
drilling time, samples, cores, drillstem tests,
seismic, etc. As to his career as a petroleum
geologist, Wayne says "He has never regret-
ted a minute of it."
It is obvious that Wayne really en-
joys what he is doing and you have to be-
lieve him when he says that he is "too busy
to retire".
