Dan Polk

President and co-founder of the Progas Companies and Galveston Bay Properties, a company which owns and is developing 130 offshore wells at depths of 5000’ to 15000. Mr. Polk entered into the oil and gas business in 1976 when he drilled his first well on his “fly in” resort on the shores of Dale Hollow Lake on the Kentucky/Tennessee state line, one of the first “fly-in” resorts in the world. His mentor, “Pops” Cooksey was the father of his first partner, Glen Cooksey, who was former VP and General Counsel of Sante Fe Drilling. Pops was an ‘original’, having drilled around the world including the drilling of the first of many Super Giant (23,000 bbls per day) wells in the middle east, in what was then Persia in 1923, doing the first acid job for what was the Phillips Brothers whose partner was Dupont Chemical company and drilling Red Adair’s first relief well (who was one of their partners in their drilling in the Appalachian Basin). Mr. Polk credits “Pops’ who served as his mentor and lived his last 4 years with the Polks, with a great deal of his knowledge and experience. Over the next several years he expanded this company to 5 states and it included drilling and service rigs, a geophysical reconnaissance company, (which performed surface recon to locate oil and gas through the measurement of the spectrum of gamma emissions from the earth), a pipeline company, oil well cementing equipment, oil field tool rental companies, from cradle to grave. Finding the need for down hole equipment to test or stimulate, treat or frac multiple zones without coming out of the well bore, designed and built down hole formation equipment to isolate, test and treat or frac oil and gas zones without having to trip the equipment out of the well bore (“Oil and Gas Journal” December 1984 – “New Straddle Packer to Revolutionize Open or Cased Hole Well Stimulation and Production”).

Mr. Polk served as President and a founder of the Kentucky Independent Petroleum Producers Association in 1982. He or his company have been written about or interviewed for the Oil and Gas Journal and Oil and Gas Investor Magazine numerous times about discoveries in the Illinois and Appalachian Basin. He is published in the Oil and Gas Journal regarding secondary and tertiary oil recovery techniques, (CO2 Generation though burning of natural gas in compressor facilities powered by natural gas engines and Flooding Techniques for the Illinois Basin) and he has the experience of thousands of wells behind him.

Under his direction, Progas also started one of the first oil and gas and pricing newsletters in the 80’s which introduced Mr. Polk to thousands of oil personnel and operators throughout the US, a valuable source of data for seeking or evaluating prospects, acquisition and evaluation of equipment at below market values, and introduced him to friends and consultants that may be needed from time to time in unfamiliar territory.

He relocated to Texas in 1992 to take advantage of the depressed industry and to evaluate much more lucrative oil and gas opportunities. This move allowed he and his geologist Pat Robinson, to evaluate thousands of potential re-entry and workover candidates, wells left behind by the crash of the industry in the 80’s, from which he created an inventory of prospects including the 20,000,000 bbl extension of the Premont Field in Jim Wells and Duvall county which Progas is currently developing.

Mr. Polk is the founder of the Progas Companies including Progas Energy Services, Inc an oil and gas developing company which has been funded for the drilling and completion of 40 wells in 2016; Progas Drilling and Well Services, Inc which owns and operates 1 drilling rig and 4 service rigs, cementing equipment, down hole tools, as well as support equipment, and buys and sells equipment of all sorts; Progas Operating, Inc which currently operates 30 plus wells and 3000 acres of leases and is involved in the re-working and drilling of 40 wells targeted for 2016, now run by his daughter Kelsea Polk, Progas Storage and Marketing Services, Inc, which was formed to take advantage of the emerging market created from FERC 436, 536 and 636 and designed natural gas storage fields in the Upper Midwest in the 90’s, and Progas Gathering Systems, Inc.

Strengths: Experience, and putting together teams are his strongest traits along with the fact that he does “not let any grass grow under his feet”. Management, and the ability to Execute and the making of a deal is also a strong suit. Other talents include, prospect evaluation, due diligence, prospect generation, well completion, down hole work – fracs, well treatment and stimulation, primary, secondary and tertiary recovery techniques through the use of fluids or gas, pipeline construction, day to day and long term operations, management, contract preparation for gas operations or gas contracts, gas storage design and development, delegating authority to those who are most able to get the job done. He has been involved in several facets of the business from private and public offerings, takeovers, mergers, negotiated bankruptcy settlements and acquisition of assets from the same. He works 70-80 hours per week and loves his work. He is known as man who can pull a ‘rabbit out of a hat” in nearly any circumstance, legal, technical, administrative or business wise, “knows what he doesn’t know” and “knows those who do”.

Personal Matters :

Mr. Polk has served as an expert witness for a number of states in securities fraud issues. In the early 70’s, while in his 20’s and with the help of two other partners, designed and developed the first “Fly-In Resort” community in the US on the shores of Dale Hollow Lake on the Tennessee – Kentucky state line.

He prides himself on being a parent to the most important things he feels he contributed to society, his children. He is recently re-married but for 5 years was the single father of 4 daughters ranging from 8 to 17 years of age, who have grown to be his pride and joys, the oldest Kelsea, now 23 managing Progas Operating Co, Inc and Progas Drilling and Well Services, Inc.

He is also the one of the co-founders and original President of “Athletes Say No to Drugs”. He and his partners coached and helped start Midnight Basketball, in Abilene, Texas to keep teen agers off of the streets and help them with an education through possible scholarships and teach them morals and ethics so needed by young children. Proudly 4 of his students have gone onto the pro’s and many more than this obtained scholarships in various colleges. When time allows he continues to scout small schools for the unknowns to help them obtain scholarships to the college of their choice.

Mr. Polk has been ardent contributor to Narconnon, co-sponsored the first Duke Ellington Award Ceremony, and created the Hero’s of Flight 93 benefit concert, which aired worldwide, (much to his surprise) as well as the 200th Anniversary of the Constitution which was televised nationally with guest speakers and attendees including Ron Paul, previous Chief Justice Warren Burger, and the late Riwanu Lukman, later President of OPEC.

Pat Robinson

Mr. Robinson is the Progas and Galveston Bay geologist and is the current owner of Rubicon Resources, LLC, a geological research and evaluation firm. He was co-founder of Progas and its companies in the 80’s. He obtained his dual degree in geology and sedimentology from Purdue University in 1970 and continued his education seeking his Masters in the same studies from the University of Southern California. While wrapping up his master’s degrees he was hired by Capital Oil of Los Angeles. He then moved on to become an independent geologist, and at 38 retired for a brief period, after several large gas discoveries in the Sacramento Basin, where he served, as President of the Sacramento Basin Gas Producers Association. He moved back to his family’s home in Kentucky, and there he teamed up with Mr. Polk to form Progas (an acronym for Polk Robinson Oil and Gas), selling his production to help add to the already large inventory of oil and gas equipment and leases. Together they developed numerous prospects in the Illinois and Appalachian Basins, as well as the Cumberland Plateau of eastern Tennessee and Kentucky; acquired several companies, gas gathering pipelines, and oil and gas fields in the mid to late 80’s. They both then relocated to Texas in 1992 to take advantage of the many abandoned wells in Texas due to the poor economic environment. Mr. Robinson helped Mr. Polk build the Progas companies, which could develop a prospect from “cradle to grave”—from obtaining the oil and gas lease to, well drilling and completion and store the natural gas produced for marketing during times of high demand. Mr. Robinson is the chief geologist on all Progas Projects, discovered the 20,000,000 bbl plus extension of their Premont field and has lead the research of the new Jackson Shale discovery, an oil and gas bearing shale that has produced in numersous sand stringers throughout south Texas but which has never been exploited for its own sake. Mr Robinson served, as President of the Sacramento Basin Gas Producers Association. Mr Robinson is married and the father of one child.

Strengths: Geology, sedimentology regarding the deposition of oil and gas sediment, log evaluation, prospect generation, reserve studies, oil and gas lease development, contractual relationships, natural gas storage field development, business acumen is superb, and is one a few geologists who have had hands on experience with field operations. Mr. Robinson is President of Rubicon Resources.

James Linneman

74 – Mr. Linneman serves as the companies independent CPA. He receives and disburses all funds for the Progas companies, wearing the hat of CFO and Accountant. There are few more qualified to do so in the oil and gas CPA circle. Mr. Linneman earned his BBA from Baylor University and taught accounting and auditing courses at TCU and UT-Arlington for 9 years while also being employed by one of the country’s largest accounting firms, Haskin and Sells (fka Deloitte and Touché). While with them, he established audit procedures and supervised audits of clients in various industries including State & Local Government, Banks, Oil & Gas Production and refining companies. His relationship with Frank Woods, a client of Haskin and Sells, and oil and gas entrepreneur of considerable fame, (Pride Refining, Pride Pipeline, Pride Energy Services and Westwood Production), allowed him to leave the accounting industry and serve as President and CFO of West Wood Energy, Inc, (1978-1999) which company drilled over 300 wells in Texas and Oklahoma. Duties included, mergers and acquisitions of properties or companies, formation and management of industry partnerships, oil and gas operating agreements, evaluation of production data, developing management reports to provide lease profitability analysis used to monitor oil and gas lease profitability, economic projections for producing properties, acquisitions and divestures, evaluating prospects from both a financial and tax viewpoint and general accounting procedures for these companies. In 1999, the company divested itself of it’s assets after the death of Frank Woods and James once again entered into the oil and gas accounting business for a select number of private and public companies, receiving and distributing revenues, reporting to the Texas Railroad Commission Oil and Gas Division, and generally handling the financial and administrative function of quality operators.

Strengths: Mr. Linneman is fully equipped as an accounting firm to handle all financial and reporting aspects of any oil and gas operation. He has a strong sense of financial responsibility to his clients, and is able to track the development cost of a lease of project due to his familiarity with the industry. He is also well experienced with oil and gas operating agreements and the standard of the industry, the COPAS Accounting Procedures required for oil and gas and public companies (Council of Petroleum Accounting Society accounting procedures, internationally accepted accounting principles.) His main strength is the tracking of oil and gas property from the first dollar invested to the last dollar produced.

Steven McGuire

Mr. McGuire has over 35 years of experience in the energy industry including the fields of oil and gas exploration and development, process engineering, fuels blending and power generation.  He is a physicist that worked for Schlumberger Offshore in the Gulf of Mexico in the late 1970s and early 1980s and wrote Schlumberger’s book “The Guide to the Recognition of Low Resistivity Pay Sands in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico”, the source book or Bible for the discovery of billions of barrels of oil throughout the world for finding oil in what is typically overlooked sands, lecturing for years on uncovering overlooked resources using cased-hole nuclear logging technology.

Steve McGuire then funded and managed a series of companies operating oil and gas fields in Coastal Texas and Louisiana.  As part of this effort, he managed a technology development group that built a number of small diameter (2”) nuclear logging tools that use pulsed neutron generators and powerful radioactive sources to find overlooked oil and gas sands in shut in cased wells.  These tools won the technology-of-the-year-award at the SPE oil conference in 1996.  Mr. McGuire’s operating group used these tools on over 40 dead wells to produce over 1 million bbls of oil and 4 billion cubic feet of gas from wells that were on the abandonment list.

The McGuire entities owned and operated four rigs (including barge-mounted workover units), snubbing rigs, wireline units, lift boats, coiled tubing and pulling units with over 100 field personnel working on land and offshore as well as a full technical staff of geologists, accountants and engineers.  The engineers worked closely with fabricating groups in Australia and Europe to design, build and operate process equipment including high volume cyclonic liquid-liquid separators, three-phase separation systems and dissolved gas geopressured completions.

The combined operational, technical and engineering groups assembled by Mr. McGuire developed salt domes and offshore fields that had over 100 producing wells (including 1000 shut in wells) that together produced over 3000 bbls of oil/day and 40 million cubic feet of gas/day.  The day to day operations of these fields included significant environmental and safety responsibilities including marine activities, high pressures, high temperatures and variable flow regimes.  McGuire not only hired the qualified personnel but personally held the licenses for HSE, radiation safety officer and perforation of oil wells.  He has also been a standing member of the Society of Professional Well Log Analysts and Society of Petroleum Engineers and he has personally developed computer programs for well log interpretation and data base archiving of large complex oil fields.

Steve McGuire has also been contracted to evaluate large scale oil fields for evaluation and sale.  He specializes in assembling technical teams that can quickly digitize large amounts of production, completion, drilling and exploration information to show valuation of complex properties.  The process includes sorting and high grading of drilling and completion data, building accurate wellbore schematics, aggregating completion and production data to individual boreholes, tying wells to geologic and reservoir engineering, comparing isopachs and volumetrics to cumulative production to develop proved developed nonproducing and proved undeveloped prospects and assembling 4D models to show depleted reservoir models.  The result of studies such as these are comprehensive packages that thoroughly describe field valuation allowing a field to be sold or developed to maximize value.

Mr. McGuire now oversees exploration and production of the Galveston Bay fields but also manages and directs staff, including assisting Mr. Pat Robinson in the review of  thousands of pages of data with each well including the well logs, cores, perforation records, well test, formation tests, well diagrams,  of each of the 100+ Galveston Bay Properties wells, digitized them and posted them on the website for review by our associated when developing wells in the field.

Kelsea Polk

Kelsea is the President of Progas Operating, Inc and Armada Operating Inc both oil and gas operating companies bonded and authorized to operate oil and gas wells in Texas. She is a co-founder and co owner of Progas Drilling and Well Services, (a company that owns its own drilling rig and deep (to 12,000’) and shallow service rigs and support equipment) and served as President and Founder of Galveston Bay Operating, LLC, a company that operated 130 wells at depths of 3000’ to 15,000 in depth in Galveston Bay Texas. Kelsea began working in the industry at the age of 7 when she colored her Dad’s and Pat Robinsons (company Geologist) structure maps and stratigraphic columns to show highs and lows in oil and gas fields they were developing. Like her dad she was very athletic, and was sought out by many schools for her softball talents. She was coached by two Olympic Coaches toward that direction. However, when the family lost their mother, she returned home to help raise her sisters and help with the family business. She soon graduated to working and directing activities in the oil field. Having learned to read logs, core analysis, and having studied technical reports, reviews and evaluations of her Dads and Pat Robinson, she became quite knowledgeable about oil and gas discovery, completion, production and development. She was taught in the same tradition that Pops Cooksey had taught her dad 40 years prior, never going by anything she did not comprehend without clearing it up, not even a word she did not understand. She has excelled in handling RRC filings and reports. She drilled and frac’d and completed her first wells in 2012, and in the fall of 2015, her company drilled its first 6 wells, re-entered 5 more all of which went into production or were permitted as disposal wells. She elected to take the job and responsibilities few young women would enjoy and that is the job of an oil and gas producer. Like her Dad, she has chosen people like her father, Pat Robinson, their geologist and Mr Linnemann with much more experience to teach her the oil and gas business, though she does further her own education through select courses on subject matter related to oil and gas and general business. She is well respected as a professional.

Strengths – Her greatest strength is her interest in the industry and her calm demeanor. However her strongpoints also include the handling of the RRC as an oil and gas operator, including filing reports and doing the things necessary to keep an oil and gas operation within the bounds of the regulations of oil and gas permitting, drilling and production in Texas. Though she still considers herself a greenhorn, due to her level of experience and the fact that she is a second generation oil and gas producer, she is very well rounded in all aspects of oil and gas, from book keeping, contracting, RRC reports to frac’ing and squeezing wells. She is excellent in delegating authority, selecting winners and separating them from losers, and like her dad, managing by statisics versus rumor.

Andrew A. Alff

Mud logged during drilling many oil and gas wells located in this are, and this field as well as deeper fields, overseeing the discovery side of oil and gas drilling in over 150 wells. He was the lead geologist who discovered the common denominator to unusually large wells in the Austin Chalk and associated limes of similar deposition, and age utilized this in 2 of the largest wells in the Bateman field which produced over 1000 bopd, and currently serves as chief geologist for the District 1 of Texas where he also utilized this data to assist Progas to discover its Carla #1 well which tested over 700 bopd.
