A message by the President of Reservoir Development Services on the 50th Anniversary of Gaffney, Cline & Associates

Gaffney, Cline & Associates will commemorate its 50th anniversary November 22, 2012. The company's anniversary offers us a unique opportunity to reflect on our many past accomplishments, it also presents us with the opportunity to look ahead, to evolve this brand that stands for high quality, integrity and technical competence, and create a vision for continuing success in the future.

In 1962, Ben Cline and Peter Gaffney founded Gaffney, Cline & Associates to provide expert, impartial and in-depth advice to Oil and Gas companies wishing to develop and improve the performance of their hydrocarbon assets. A lot has happened since the formation of this elite consulting team - enormous growth and progress, innovations, spectacular successes and some notable industry failures, interesting characters, exciting milestones and highlights - all in all a rich and diverse heritage over a half-century. Today, one of Gaffney, Cline’s most enduring legacies can be found in the over 400 current and retired Gaffney, Cline employees who have collectively given over a half century of service to the cause of understanding the reservoir’s, the asset’s and in many cases the Country’s keys to success. On its 50th anniversary, Gaffney, Cline & Associates remains an enduring symbol of our industry’s commitment to encouraging progress, creating opportunity, and continually striving to increase the recovery of hydrocarbons around the globe.

Over the past five decades, Gaffney, Cline employees have supported Governments, Ministries and National Oil companies at the very highest levels, bringing a wealth of strategic and commercial acumen spanning the entire range of Oil and Gas technical disciplines. From the first group of employees in Venezuela in November 1962, Gaffney, Cline has been the leader in technical, commercial and strategic services for a wide range of clients around the world. Working alongside our customers, Gaffney, Cline employees help address changing and complex needs in geophysical, geological, petrophysical and commercial information to make investment decisions that will improve our clients return on their investment. Expert geoscientists, engineers, economists and commercial analysts with years of experience in exploration and production, understand what is important to operators. The combination of that expertise means Gaffney, Cline can focus on solutions for today’s oil and gas issues.

With today’s challenges requiring a level of engagement and understanding that extends far beyond the wellbore, the vision of Gaffney, Cline & Associates is more relevant today than ever. Our expert staff members, enriched by their global experience and technical knowledge, bring a deeper understanding beyond the wellbore and into the reservoir and beyond into the wider commercial aspects of oil and gas production. The lasting accomplishments of Gaffney, Cline continue to strengthen partnerships with operators and countries around the world.
