UTIG’s John W. Snedden Quoted in Forbes Article

University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) professor John W. Snedden offered a comment to Forbes  for an article published in its upcoming December 15, 2014 edition.

The article focuses on the success of deepwater drilling company Venari Resources and its exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, finding recent big oil discoveries amidst a risky financial atmosphere with falling energy prices. The company’s CEO, Brian Reinsborough, is featured throughout the article.

You can read the article online here.
