Driving Energy Evolution

Blane Thingelstad has 21 years of oil and gas experience range from Deepwater Gulf of Mexico to the early days in the shale play revolution. His shale career began with Enerplus Resources on the already proven Montana Bakken, and then later used those learnings in Montana to optimize the much larger Bakken resource in North Dakota.

Camille Thompson is an Energy Engineer at Fire2Fission where she helps drive the commercial and technical backbone of power generation projects. Her work ranges from financial modeling and project economics to vendor relationships and technical systems analysis. Her contributions to Fire2Fission and our clients have advanced project execution capabilities and guaranteed accurate data capture during drilling operations. She is versatile and eager to learn, always ready to jump into whatever a project needs. Her intrinsic curiosity and high attention to detail makes her equally comfortable troubleshooting a cost model and asking critical questions to uncover potential failures during operations. Camille holds a BS in Environmental Engineering with a minor in Energy Engineering from CU Boulder.

Mann Dubey is a Design Engineer at Fire2Fission, where he built the company's in-house design engineering workflow from the ground up, running first-principles analysis, systems engineering, energy project package delivery, CAD, PFDs, and P&IDs for natural gas power generation systems. He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Aerospace Engineering from CU Boulder. Before Fire2Fission he flew small sats, sounding rockets, and led design and manufacturing for Formula SAE vehicles . Mann treats engineering like a full-contact sport: fast, curious, ridiculously hands-on, and always three questions ahead, ready to geek out over turbine curves, cost models, and orbital mechanics in the same breath.

Mark Hinaman, P.E., is passionate about producing energy for America and the world. He began his career working with his hands as a teenager in the natural gas fields and a coal mine in northwest Colorado. After studying engineering, he worked in a myriad of technical and project management roles spanning multiple states and all engineering disciplines in the upstream oil and gas industry. This well-rounded experience gave Mark the unique opportunity to act as a founding member of Franklin Mountain Energy, where he managed 40% of the annual capital budget and helped grow the company's production from 500 bopd to 50,000 bopd in less than three years and leading to the eventual sale of the company for $2.5B.
