Mr. Gilman has been with the Marathon Petroleum Technology Center since 1978 specializing in the development and application of reservoir simulators with special emphasis on naturally fractured (dual-porosity) reservoirs and horizontal wells. Reservoir simulation studies have included sandstone and carbonate reservoirs in the North Sea, Gulf Coast, Rocky Mountains, West Texas, Oklahoma, Tunisia, and Alaska. He has been a member of the SPE Editorial Review Board and is currently technical editor for SPE Reservoir Engineering.
