Veatch, Arthur Clifford
Arthur Clifford Veatch (October 26, 1878 - December 24, 1938) was an American geologist with a long career in the petroleum industry and with the U.S. Geological Survey. He was born in Evansville, Indiana and attended Indiana University, then Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin. His early career saw him working as a geologist in the oil industry in Texas in the booming years at the start of the 20th century, then take a teaching position at Louisiana State University. In 1902, he began working with the U.S. Geological Survey, where he took on a variety of tasks including exploring underground water resources and as a special commissioner to examine the mining laws of Australia and New Zealand. In 1910, he returned to the private sector, working in South America among other locations. He would lead the oil exploration efforts of the British petroleum firm Pearson and Son and later the Sinclair-Consolidated Oil Corporation, to the great benefit of both companies, before working independently as a consultant from 1928 onwards. Veatch was an active member in several professional and academic associations, including the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
