Philip A. Freeman
Philip Freeman is an Operations Research Analyst with the USGS Geology, Energy & Minerals (GEM) Science Center in Reston, VA.
Philip obtained his B.S. in Engineering at Cornell University in 1986. He is an Operations Research Analyst at the Eastern Energy Resources Science Center in Reston, Virginia. His experience in resource assessment work spans oil and gas, coal, reserve growth, and carbon dioxide storage resources. He has worked on teams tasked to develop probabilistic resource assessment methodologies. His contributions to economic analysis includes developing business development models, constructing geographic analysis and estimating annual production functions. He has experience combining large datasets of well, reservoir and field data for physical characterization of rock and/or fluid properties and using GIS for analysis or presentation.

Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery and residual oil zone studies at the U.S. Geological Survey
Federal lands greenhouse emissions and sequestration in the United States—Estimates for 2005–14
In January 2016, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior tasked the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) with producing a publicly available and annually updated database of estimated greenhouse gas emissions associated with the extraction and use (predominantly some form of combustion) of fossil fuels from Federal lands. In response, the USGS has produced estimates of the greenhouse gas emi
Geologic framework for the national assessment of carbon dioxide storage resources—Atlantic Coastal Plain and Eastern Mesozoic Rift Basins
Overview of a comprehensive resource database for the assessment of recoverable hydrocarbons produced by carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery
Compilation of geospatial data for the mineral industries and related infrastructure of Latin America and the Caribbean
A database and probabilistic assessment methodology for carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery and associated carbon dioxide retention in the United States
Geologic framework for the national assessment of carbon dioxide storage resources—Southern Rocky Mountain Basins: Chapter M in Geologic framework for the national assessment of carbon dioxide storage resources
The U.S. Geological Survey has completed an assessment of the potential geologic carbon dioxide storage resources in the onshore areas of the United States. To provide geological context and input data sources for the resources numbers, framework documents are being prepared for all areas that were investigated as part of the national assessment. This report, chapter M, is the geologic framework d
