Prior to joining Bedrock Energy Partners, Mr. Hayes was with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (APC) where he was managing Reservoir Engineering and Analytics efforts for APC’s Powder River Basin (PRB) asset. In the PRB, Mr. Hayes applied analytical and physics-based efforts for optimizing PRB’s appraisal and development planning. Prior to working on PRB Mr. Hayes was the Subject Matter Expert on Subsurface and Economic Evaluations for Unconventional Assets in APC’s Advanced Analytics and Emerging Technology (AAET) team. In AAET, Mr. Hayes was responsible for leading efforts to develop analytical and physics-based techniques and tools for deployment in asset development teams, acquisition and divestiture efforts, US onshore exploration, and company-wide portfolio optimization. Previously Mr. Hayes worked in various roles including US Onshore Development and Operations, and Deepwater GOM Development and Operations.

Mr. Hayes began his career with APC after graduating Cum Laude from Colorado School of Mines with a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering, where he was a Boettcher Scholar. Mr. Hayes also earned an MBA from the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University.
