ABOUT
Trusted Petroleum Engineering Advice & Expertise Since 1976
At Don Ray George & Associates, we are more than technical consultants — we are trusted advisors through the complex intersections of engineering, business, and law. Founded in Austin, Texas in 1976, our firm has become a respected authority in petroleum engineering support for asset valuation, modeling of technical terms in industry agreements, oil & gas regulatory affairs and litigation.
For over five decades, we’ve stood beside financial stakeholders, corporate management, technical teams, the legal profession, and regulators, providing technical insights that inform critical decision making.
Our Philosophy
When attention to detail, engineering integrity, and sound unvarnished advice is essential, engineering isn’t just about the math. It’s also about the message. We believe technical work must not only be accurate — it must be credible and communicated in manner that fully informs the client, or that can withstand adversarial scrutiny, if needed. Our mission is to ensure that our analyses are built on solid, defensible, technical ground — whether you're negotiating a deal, defending a valuation, or presenting in a legal or administrative process. Attention to detail is paramount.
Who We Are
Our team combines decades of hands-on analyses with national and international leadership in petroleum engineering standards and policy. From our engineering evaluations and technical analysis of industry agreements to administrative hearings and expert representation, we bring an uncommon combination of technical depth and legal process fluency.
We’ve advised upstream oil and gas industry clients, financial institutions, mineral owners, and governmental agencies, and have served as court-appointed Special Masters, UN advisors, and expert witnesses across multiple jurisdictions.
