About us

Mark Stodola, Oil and Gas Consultant

I am an energy industry leader with three decades of experience integrating operations management, reservoir engineering, and strategic economic analysis across both unconventional and conventional assets. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to bridging the gap between technical reservoir science and capital-focused decision-making, helping organizations deploy capital efficiently, optimize development plans, and enhance asset performance.

My professional background spans drilling and completions oversight, reservoir engineering, production optimization, and executive advisory. I have extensive experience in production forecasting, decline and type curve design, reserves evaluation, and full-cycle project economics using tools such as Aries, ComboCurve, Power BI, and Spotfire. I specialize in translating complex subsurface and operational data into actionable business insights that support executive teams, private equity partners, and multidisciplinary technical groups.

Across leadership roles—including serving as Vice President of Drilling, Completions, and Production—I have guided teams through complex development challenges, implemented data-driven optimization workflows, and shaped capital allocation strategies through comprehensive economic and technical analysis. I am committed to structured problem solving, effective stakeholder communication, and aligning technical rigor with organizational financial objectives.

I am passionate about helping companies strengthen reservoir strategy, improve asset value, and adapt to the evolving demands of the energy sector.
