SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 107
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Dr. Peter Rose, who has been awarded the Petroleum
Group Medal by the Geological Society of London; and
WHEREAS, This prestigious award is one of the world's
highest honors bestowed in the field of petroleum geology; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Rose is a graduate of The University of Texas
at Austin; he has held a variety of positions within the
industry, including staff geologist at Shell Oil Company and
chief of the oil and gas branch of the United States Geological
Survey; he has also established a pair of independent consulting
firms, Telegraph Exploration, Incorporated, and Rose and
Associates; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Rose is receiving this important award for his
work in creating methods for the consistent estimation of risk in
the exploration for oil; his process uses statistical analysis

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
