Stone:
"What I really enjoy about my work, and what's satisfying to me, is the
opportunity to work with talented, motivated people every day, and I think
that's what it all boils down to. And they can be geoscientists, they can
be engineers, economists, accountants, just a variety of folks that really
like what they're doing, and they choose to do that and be there every
day, as opposed to somewhere else. You know, if you're working with folks
that aren't all that happy to be there in what they're doing, and doing
what they're doing, it's -- it can be sort of disheartening and
diminishing in a way."
Ms. Stone received a B.S. in Geology from Texas Christian University in
Fort Worth, Texas and an M.S. in Geology from Memphis State University in
Memphis, Tennessee. She entered college expecting to major in
International Relations, a major combining economics, political science
and business. Following an introductory geology course which was a science
requirement, she changed her major to Geology. After going on a few
geology field trips she came to realize that geology is an observational
science which combined well with her tendency to be a visual learner. In
1977, she joined Union Oil of California as an Assistant Geologist and
worked with them for three summers during undergraduate and graduate
school. Following completion of her master's degree, she joined Superior
Oil International in Houston, Texas and spent the next five years working
oil and gas exploration projects in the North Sea. Following their
acquisition of Superior in 1984, she worked for Mobil Oil until 1985 when
she joined Amoco. She has worked for Amoco since then on various
international exploration projects in East Africa, Egypt, Colombia and the
former Soviet Union. She is an active member of the Houston Geological
Society, Geological Society of America and the American Association of
Petroleum Geologists.
