Eugene E. Wadleigh is a registered petroleum engineer with degrees in geology and geological engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines, and is employed by Marathon Oil Company as an advanced senior reservoir engineer. His 17 years with Marathon include experience throughout the western United States (Rocky Mountains, California, and southwestern states), with specialization in fractures reservoir engineering (carbonates, sand, shales, and volcanics). Prior experience included mineral exploration and assessment of hard rock fracturing and vein mineralization and chemical replacement deposits in carbonates and sandstones which "preserved" critical fluid flow behavior within rock masses.
