  I specialize in seismic interpretation and geocellular reservoir model building for input to reservoir simulation. I have co-developed a Geocellular model building class and teach it at the request of our clients worldwide. I have 29 years experience in exploration, development, and production settings including 15 years with an international oil major. I have worked in Alaska, Canada, US Rockies, Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Russia, and Kuwait. I am an expert user of RMS and the GeoGraphix suite of geoscience applications. Recent experience has focused on Rockies conventional and unconventional reservoirs including the Almond, Niobrara, Parkman, and Lyons of the Greater Green River, Powder River, and DJ basins. This includes exploration play fairway analysis, seismic interpretation, and reservoir modeling. Show less

• Fieldwide Geoscientist

  • Jul 2003 - Aug 2004

  Provided geological and geophysical support for Prudhoe Bay Field-wide and long-term projects. Tasks included management of a new update of the Field-wide static and dynamic models, project management for 2 new seismic surveys (acquisition, processing, and analysis). Field-wide studies involved rock properties, 4D Pilot, AVO analysis for lithology and fluid prediction, and providing the structural framework to update the gas cap water injection model.

  • Jun 2001 - Jun 2003

  Member of multi-disciplinary team that assessed the resource potential of the Canadian Rockies through detailed play fairway analysis. Lead Geophysicist overseeing 2D seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation, prospect maturation, and drilling in the Permo-Carboniferous (GSC designated PC-2) Play fairway in Northeast British Colombia. Work led to 1 discovery in 2002. He integrated surface geology and structure with well data (including dip meter) and seismic (Pre-stack Time and Depth migrations) to develop structural models for a series of prospects. Show less
