Committee Members
Scott W. Tinker, Chair, is director of the Bureau of Economic Geology,
University of Texas at Austin, a major international energy and environ-
mental research organization. He is the state geologist of Texas, holds the
Edwin Allday Chair of Subsurface Geology at the University of Texas
Department of Geological Sciences, and is a member of the Executive
Committee of the new John A. and Katherine G. Jackson School of Geo-
sciences. Before joining the bureau in 2000, Dr. Tinker spent 18 years work-
ing in the oil and gas industry, most recently at Marathon Oil's Petroleum
Technology Center in Littleton, Colorado, where he designed and imple-
mented studies of large oil and gas fields. Dr. Tinker has experience man-
aging energy and environmental research and expertise in energy re-
source issues, sequence stratigraphy, and reservoir characterization. He is
a recipient of "best paper" awards in two major journals and is a former
Association of American Petroleum Geologists Distinguished Lecturer
and a Society of Petroleum Engineers Distinguished Lecturer. He serves
as a member of many professional and honor societies, committees,
boards, and foundations. Dr. Tinker holds a Ph.D. from the University of
Colorado, an M.S. from the University of Michigan, and a B.S. from Trin-
ity University and is a certified professional geologist and a certified pe-
troleum geologist.

Mines. He has 15 years of experience in the petroleum industry with
Texaco, Inc., SAIC, Columbia Gas, and Exlog/Baker-Hughes. He has
served on and chaired several professional society and natural gas indus-
try committees, which include the Supply Panel, Research Coordination
Council, and the Science and Technology Committee of the Gas Technol-
ogy Institute (Gas Research Institute). He currently cochairs the Ameri-
can Association of Petroleum Geologists Committee on Unconventional
Petroleum Systems and is an invited member of the AAPG Committee on
Resource Evaluation and the Committee on Research. He has organized
multiple technical sessions on natural gas resource assessment for the
AAPG, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He is an asso-
ciate editor of the AAPG Bulletin and The Mountain Geologist and has pub-
lished and given numerous invited talks on studies concerning the size
and distribution of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican natural gas resources
and comparisons of resource assessment methodologies. As director of
the Potential Gas Agency, he directs a team of 145 geologists, geophysi-
cists, and petroleum engineers in their biennial assessment of remaining
U.S. natural gas resources. Dr. Curtis teaches petroleum geology, petro-
leum geochemistry, petroleum design, and stratigraphy at the Colorado
School of Mines, where he also supervises graduate student research. He
holds a Ph.D. in geology from Ohio State University, and an M.S. and a
B.A. in geology from Miami University.
lames l. Emme, vice president of Exploration at the Anadarko Petroleum
Corporation, oversees all of the company's exploration activities through-
out North America, the Gulf of Mexico, and more than a dozen other inter-
national areas. Mr. Emme joined Anadarko in 1981 and was named man-
ager of geology for Anadarko Algeria Corporation in 1990. In 1998 he was
named manager of the offshore Gulf of Mexico and Alaska exploitation
effort in Houston and was promoted to manager, domestic exploitation in
1999. In 2000, Mr. Emme was named vice president, Canada, and was based

pany. He is a graduate of the Colorado School of Mines, where he earned an
M.S. in geology in 1981, and the University of California at Davis, where he
earned a B.S. in geology in 1978. Mr. Emme is a member of the American
Association of Petroleum Geologists, the Houston Geological Society, and
the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists.

oil and gas recovery technologies. He served on the Secretary of Energy's
Natural Gas Supply Task Force, was a member of the National Academy
of Sciences Study Committee for Defining the National Energy Modeling
System, and recently testified before the Federal Energy Regulatory Com-
mission on the outlook for natural gas supplies. Mr. Kuuskraa is a recog-
nized expert on the technologies of coalbed methane recovery and en-
hanced oil recovery and their adaptation for CO2 sequestration. He served
as the lead expert on coalbed methane for the Secretary of Energy's Trade
and Development Missions to China, India, and South Africa and is work-
ing with numerous public and private entities to address greenhouse gas
emissions using carbon sequestration. He currently serves as chairman of
the Technical Advisory Board of the Department of Energy/European
Union/Klimatek and industry consortium led by BP called the Carbon
Capture Project. He has published over 100 technical papers, reports, and
presentations on energy resources and future natural gas supplies. He
received the 2001 Ellis Island Medal of Honor, which recognizes individu-
als for exceptional professional and patriotic contributions by America's
diverse cultural ancestry and was a 1986-1987 Society of Petroleum Engi-
neers Distinguished Lecturer. Mr. Kuuskraa holds an M.B.A. from the
