He was a pioneer. He personally led the development of three distinct areas of petroleum engineering technology: in situ combustion for recovery of heavy oil; the engineering of recovery of steam from geothermal reservoirs; and the design and interpretation of pressure transient tests of oil, gas, groundwater, and geothermal wells to determine properties of reservoir rocks.

Later while with Mobil, he installed several additional combustion operations, all of which proved to be economic successes. Throughout his career he worked with many students to analyze and develop engineering science descriptions of in situ combustion and steam injection methods for heavy oil recovery.
