Summary: Mike Bingle-Davis spent his time in graduate school working at the University of North Dakota Core Library under Julie LeFever archiving and digitizing North Dakotas massive microscopy collection of the Williston Basin. After graduation in 2006 he started work at the North Dakota Department of Transportation with a small team responsible for the location, construction, and management of the state Department of Transportation wetland banking program. This necessitated geology, engineering, biology, and interagency cooperation to ensure that the NDDOT was in compliance with the state and federal regulatory requirements under NEPA and other programs. Once Marron Bingle-Davis (now wife) graduated the University of North Dakota with her Doctorate in Geology they moved to Casper, Wyoming where Mike started a short stint in the Uranium Geology field with Cameco Resources. Mike was responsible for several exploration programs in Nebraska and Wyoming. He would ultimately provide recommendations regarding all of the exploration targets in the region and ultimately leave the uranium industry due to market conditions. Essentially transferring from the Uranium sector to Oil and Gas, Mike started at Kirkwood Oil and Gas in 2014. He would continue at Kirkwood until the present under Steve Kirkwood. At Kirkwood Oil and Gas Mike is responsible for new drilling, infill drilling, prospect generation, evaluation and all things geology for properties in North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada.
