Scott Reeves is an energy industry veteran with over 25 years experience in the unconventional gas, enhanced oil recovery, and more recently carbon sequestration sectors of the business. Scott began his career in the early 1980’s as a field engineer working CSG fields in the Black Warrior basin. He then spent several years helping to launch a fledgling CSG industry in east Australia, working on a team that was ultimately responsible for discovering what are now some of the most prolific CSG fields there.

 After returning to the US in the early 1990’s, he co-founded Advanced Resources International, a research & consulting firm that specializes in unconventional gas resources, enhanced oil recovery and carbon sequestration. In this role, he provided strategic, business and technical consulting services to private clientele throughout the world, and performed research on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy, the Gas Research Institute and industry consortia. During this time Mr. Reeves was appointed by the United Nations, the US AID and the US EPA to be a Special Advisor to various countries on coalbed methane technology. He was a 2002/2003 SPE Distinguished Lecturer on Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery technology.

Mr. Reeves joined BG Group in Reading in 2008 where he is the Head of Unconventional Gas Resources. In that role he provides strategic direction and functional excellence to BG’s worldwide conventional gas activities, most notably the QCLNG CSG-to-LNG project in Australia, and BG’s EXCO joint-venture to develop shale-gas from the Haynesville shale in North America.

Scott received a BS in petroleum engineering from Texas A & M University and an MBA from Duke University. He is the author of over 150 papers and research/consulting reports.
