support. He is a well-published, noted authority who is highly regarded both
domestically and internationally, having represented clients that include oil
and gas producers, pipeline companies, utilities, banks, insurance companies,
universities, municipalities, governmental agencies, law firms, investors,
estates and royalty owners. His past Chairmanship of the Oil and Gas Reserves
Committee of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, on which he remains as an
observer, illustrates his worldwide standing.

Mr. Harrell is a Director of Union Drilling, Inc., Chairman of the
University of Houston's Petroleum Engineering Advisory Board and immediate
past President of Louisiana Tech University's Engineering and Science
