Provide geophysical support to the NEBC team's exploration and development efforts; coordinate seismic acquisition, processing, rock physics and geomechanical inversion projects; interpret seismic data and integrate inversion products and microseismic to enhance the total understanding of the reservoir and to assist in completion operations/techniques; integrate new data and update 1-D geomechanical models with results from offsets.

Provide geophysical support to exploration and exploitation efforts in Pembina, Minehead, Southern Alberta, and Southwestern Saskatchewan.

* Develop pilot well programs within an integrated team to test productivity in the Cardium formation* Use of seismic attributes to highlight the effects of sub-seismic anomalies on well completions and production* Interpretation of microseismic results related to completion strategies, frac propagation; compare to other completions and interpret differences in production trends* Use of amplitude variations to determine first and second-order effects related to reservoir thickness… Show more * Develop pilot well programs within an integrated team to test productivity in the Cardium formation* Use of seismic attributes to highlight the effects of sub-seismic anomalies on well completions and production* Interpretation of microseismic results related to completion strategies, frac propagation; compare to other completions and interpret differences in production trends* Use of amplitude variations to determine first and second-order effects related to reservoir thickness changes Show less
