REED TOMPKINS JOINS SKYE PETROLEUM, INC. AS GEOLOGIST/GEOPHYSICIST
March 22, 2011
For immediate Release
Skye Petroleum, Inc. (the “Company” or “Skye”) is pleased to announce that Reed Tompkins has joined Skye Petroleum, Inc. as the Company’s Staff Geologist/Geophysicist.
Mr. Tompkins is a petroleum geologist/geophysicist (explorationist) with 33 years of experience in oil and gas exploration across the USA and around the world. He has managed exploration programs consisting of leasing, drilling, and exploration and has become one of the world’s top experts in remote sensing geophysics. However, his extensive exposure to complex classic and carbonate environments has accounted for his travel to such places as Israel, Africa, South America, and the Middle East. His primary focus and experience has been centered in the Gulf Coast, from Mexico to Florida, covering all trends. More specifically, he has worked in the Gulf Coast Offshore, East Texas, West Texas, North Texas, South Texas, North and South Louisiana, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
As a geologist, his work has principally involved research into the Deep Wilcox, Yegua, Frio, and Vicksburg depositions, along with the field of saltdome development, turbidite experience, and carbonate trends including all aspects of regional, biohermal, and lagoonal depositions.
Mr. Tompkins was extensively involved with the Moroccan Talsinnt discovery, which relied upon airmag and geochemical methods to find a 60 MBOE field. He also, using Airborne Magnetics, mapped 10 field discoveries in the Colorado Morrow trend prior to drilling. In addition, Mr. Tompkins was instrumental in the development of major prospects in Israel while engaged in performing geochemistry, surface geology, seismic, sub-surface and drilling operations. This enabled him to drill one of the deepest wells (23,475’) in the Middle East.
Skye is very pleased to add Reed Tompkins to its management team who possesses a wealth of varied experience in his field. We believe his ability to locate new fields and determine the viability of existing fields will aid Skye Petroleum, Inc. in maximizing shareholder value.
