OilTracers LLC is proud to announce that Kate S. Weissenburger
has joined the team of OilTracers LLC earth scientists as a Senior
Petroleum Systems Analyst.
Prior to joining OilTracers LLC, Kate worked 22 years at
ConocoPhillips and 3 years as an independent consultant. For nearly
20 years, she has specialized in the development and application of
methods for the identification and reduction of exploration and
development risk factors on projects in diverse worldwide
locations.
Kate's analytical focus is organic geochemistry,
multi-dimensional geochemical basin modeling and surface
geochemistry. Her expertise includes integration of organic
geochemistry with PVT, flow assurance and petrophysical data in
reservoir characterization studies, database design/organization,
and oil, gas and source rock characterization and correlation (from
bulk property and molecular attributes and 2D and 3D forward
modeling of hydrocarbon generation, expulsion and migration using
state-of-the-art PetroMod and MPath modeling software). Her other
specialty areas include play- and prospect-specific hydrocarbon
fluid inversion studies, hydrocarbon source rock evaluation and
prediction and risk analysis of petroleum systems elements. In
addition to numerous company reports, she is a senior or co-author
of 17 articles on petroleum geochemistry, basin modeling, and
hydrocarbon surface geochemistry surveys. Kate was the 1991
recipient of the A.A.P.G. Jules Braunstein Best Poster Award for
her paper "Caveats and pitfalls in surface light hydrocarbon
surveying. Amer. Assoc. Petrol. Geol. Bull., 73, 692." Her detailed CV can

About OilTracers
OilTracers is a petroleum consulting company that specializes in
integration of geochemical, geological, and engineering data to
solve various petroleum exploration, development, and production
problems. In addition, OilTracers owns and operates the two premier
petroleum geochemistry web sites (www.oiltracers.com and
www.gaschem.com) The databases on these web sites, such as OilRef
(a database of >14,000 petroleum geochemistry citations), the
Oil Sample Library (a listing of >33,500 oil geological samples
owned by various laboratories), and the Petroleum Geochemistry
Dictionary provide answers to more than 5,000 inquiries a month.
OilTracers is organized very much like a law firm, with our various
scientists having complementary areas of expertise. OilTracers is
not a laboratory. We do no analyses. We only interpret data. All
oil analyses are contracted to one of several laboratories we use
around the world. These laboratories then transfer the data
electronically to OilTracers for interpretation.
