ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Thomas “Tom” Gould is a senior reservoir engineering consultant and board member at International Reservoir Technologies, Inc. Dr. Gould has over 50 years of experience in the upstream petroleum industry and is a world-class expert in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with several patents under his belt. He recently specialized in EOR miscible floods, thermal recovery, shale oil production, CO2 sequestration, and geothermal energy. Dr. Gould has received the Cedric K. Ferguson Medal from the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and is a Distinguished Member of SPE.
Please note that Dr. Gould is not an archeologist nor is he trained in either apologetics or historicity of the Bible. However, he is a qualified researcher and the Biblical Archeology compendium of presentations is mostly a literature survey. During its construction there has been a need to “connect the dots” for scriptural relevancy and in some cases sort through conflicting opinions of experts.
The compendium of presentations was motivated by the Spirit after Dr. Gould ’s first trip to Israel in Oct-2015. The compendium has been under construction now almost 10 years as of Apr-2025 and continues to be updated with new archeological technical papers and verified discoveries.
