Mr. Harris comes to eCORP from his most recent engagement as founder in 2008 of BlackRock Exploration & Production, LLC, a Houston-based oil and gas firm specializing in finding and extracting hydrocarbons from source rocks within North America. Under Mr. Harris' direction, BlackRock examined areas in South & East Texas covering 70,000 square miles and 100+ counties in order to map certain prospective fairways for the Upper Cretaceous age Eagle Ford Shale. BlackRock gathered information from 285,000 wells and conducted further analysis to high grade the prospect areas and thereafter, assembled with partners a significant acreage position in the liquid prone window of the Eagle Ford Shale.

At Kerogen, Mr. Harris, among other things, led and helped design more than 6 industry joint ventures for shale exploration in the Muskwa/Ootla shale formations in the Horn River basin in British Columbia, the Montney formation in British Columbia, the Bakken formation in the Williston basin of North Dakota, the Fayetteville shale in the Arkoma basin and the Fort Worth basin Barnett oil and gas play.
Mr. Harris spent the first twelve years of his career with Amoco Production Company in New Orleans, followed in 1989 by a period with Canadian Hunter Exploration in Calgary. After leaving Canadian Hunter, Mr. Harris led ResTech Inc., in Houston, TX, for seven years as President and Chief Executive Officer. Restech was responsible for characterizing all unconventional reservoirs studied by the Gas Research Institute. Following his time at ResTech, and prior to forming Kerogen, Mr. Harris served as President and CEO of PetroSolutions, a Houston based global engineering and geotechnical consultancy that he co-formed.
Mr. Harris has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology from Michigan State University and a Master of Science Degree in Geology from the University of South Carolina.
