From the DeGolyer MacNaughton website: "Lewis MacNaughton was an extraordinarily talented geologist who like Everette Lee DeGolyer had also gained solid work experience overseas prior to obtaining his college degree. In 1928 DeGolyer the then-president of Amerada Petroleum Corporation hired the scholarly methodical MacNaughton. Upon DeGolyers retirement in 1932 at the young age of 46 financial institutions and oil companies continued to call DeGolyer ceaselessly seeking advice based on his scientific professionalism and non-provincial perspective. Faced with the inevitability of an increasing demand for reliable realistic consultation DeGolyer prevailed upon MacNaughton to join him in the first petroleum consulting organization to provide services on an international scope. Together the two men forged a firm that would become the petroleum industrys most sought-after advisor." From a review of the book by G. S.: "Analyse de l'admirable atlas du Colorado par F. V.
