Wagenhofer

Thomas Wagenhofer joined Ryder Scott in January as a petroleum engineer in the reservoir simulation group. Previously, he worked at Arco E&P Technology in Plano, TX, where he provided reservoir-engineering and simulation support to Arco’s North and South America operations by conducting screening and long-term reservoir studies.

Wagenhofer’s expertise includes waterflood development and optimization studies, deepwater Gulf of Mexico recovery mechanisms and modeling, immiscible CO2 flooding, surveillance and optimization of double displacement processes and classic reservoir performance analyses. Wagenhofer, an English-speaking native of Austria, is fluent in German and conversant in French and Italian.

He earned M.S. and B.S. degrees in petroleum engineering at the University of Texas and University of Alaska at Fairbanks, respectively.

Ryder Scott formed a reservoir-modeling group last year headed by Dean Rietz, vice president. The firm has performed modeling since the 1970s, however the reorganization and latest increases in personnel will enable Ryder Scott to handle a growing demand for simulation services.

With the addition of Wagenhofer, the reservoir simulation group has four engineers, one technician and access to three other Ryder Scott engineers outside the group with extensive modeling experience.
