After receiving his PhD, Dr. Mattax joined Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and, in 1955, moved to Tulsa with Carter Oil. In 1963, he moved to Bordeaux, France, to set up a service lab to conduct research in core analysis. In 1965, Carter Oil merged with Humble Oil, consolidating research and exploration facilities into what was then known as Exxon Production Research (EPR) Houston, Texas. At EPR, as Division Manager of the Reservoir Division, Mattax traveled extensively in the Middle East Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran consulting and advising on oil exploration in these countries.
