Hi, my name is Greg Bogdan. I started my formal earth science education at Penn State University before completing my Bachelor of Science in Geology at the University of Houston.
After spending more than three decades working full-time across the oil, gas, and broader energy sectors—primarily centered in Houston, Texas—my work today spans authoring technical articles for industry publications, writing for corporate websites, and directing high-performance B2B digital marketing campaigns.
From the Gulf Coast to the Utica Northern Tier in Ohio
I recently relocated from Houston to a property situated near the northeast limit of the Northern Tier of the Utica Shale Point Pleasant play in Northeast Ohio. As a geologist and scientist living directly on top of the play I enjoy digging into data and science and sharing insight.
The Mission
The Utica Shale Blog is designed to bridge the gap between technical aspects and more general science and economics. Whether you are a local landowner evaluating or curious about leasing opportunities, an industry operator tracking Utica Shale performance and growth, or simply someone interested in the science and economics of modern oil and gas exploitation, I hope that you find the content useful.
