My main focus was exploration work for high impact plays using mapping, hydrogeology, geophysics and detailed geology in order to initiate new core areas. I increased my technical knowledge of geophysics, economics, risk assessment, decision-making and property evaluation. I developed the ability to quickly discern the viability of prospects. Lead the detailed mapping of; faulted Cardium tight gas at Hanlan, Elkton carbonate shoals at Lawrence, regional shallow gas at the Milk River and… Show more My main focus was exploration work for high impact plays using mapping, hydrogeology, geophysics and detailed geology in order to initiate new core areas. I increased my technical knowledge of geophysics, economics, risk assessment, decision-making and property evaluation. I developed the ability to quickly discern the viability of prospects. Lead the detailed mapping of; faulted Cardium tight gas at Hanlan, Elkton carbonate shoals at Lawrence, regional shallow gas at the Milk River and Edmonton sands in southeast Alberta. Drilled and cased four exploratory wells that tested sweet gas and the further viability pending on the analysis of results. Completed detailed Mannville mapping and drill cuttings sample work for 48 townships W4. Developed 55 leads from Wabamun to Viking; successfully purchased land at a crown sale and the prospect had not yet been drilled. Assisted the M&A group as required to evaluate properties for acquisition. Comfortably able to work in different geographic areas and on different play styles. Show less

Evaluated the technical viability and opportunities of a Devonian aged non-conventional shale gas resource exploration project. My field experience provided an essential and integral skill set which I utilized successfully in completing the project goals.Utilized research from drill cutting, core evaluations and hydrocarbon gas log reviews to high-grade prospective shale gas areas. Integrated work with previous research and other disciplines.

My field experience provided an essential and integral skill set which I utilized successfully in completing the project goals.Utilized research from drill cutting, core evaluations and hydrocarbon gas log reviews to high-grade prospective shale gas areas. Integrated work with previous research and other disciplines. Delivered detailed technical presentations and re-entry well recommendations to senior management. Generated written and graphical documentation outlining results from my investigation. The results lead to additional and lateral work on this conceptual play style that is still ongoing.Recommended two different feasible play styles and identified two re-entry well candidates for initial exploration efforts. A recommendation was made in favour of re-entry wells versus new drills due to the results of an economic evaluation Show less

Assisted and worked closely with two experienced geologists and provided geological and technical support as required. Performed routine geological mapping and generated geological cross sections. Data was assimilated with the work of other geologists and led to the drilling of wells in the Taber area. Performed detailed drill cutting assessments as required which was instrumental in neglecting or affirming potential drill targets.

Performed routine geological mapping and generated geological cross sections. Data was assimilated with the work of other geologists and led to the drilling of wells in the Taber area. Performed detailed drill cutting assessments as required which was instrumental in neglecting or affirming potential drill targets. Completed mapping and documentation for land continuations. Successfully obtained land continuations that retained a significant portion of land during a period of high land valuations. Gained exposure to Accumap, land, drilling, drillstem testing, geophysics and economics pertaining to the oil and gas industry. In-house training and experience resulted in the ability to independently generate prospects.Planned and drilled four successful horizontal oil wells to optimize a Roseray field in Hazlet, Saskatchewan. Planned and drilled one successful development gas well and five technically sound vertical exploration wells. Show less

Successfully supervised the geological portion of over 120 wells for numerous clients in diverse locations throughout the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The work ranged from single vertical well jobs to multi-well horizontal winter drilling programs. Duties included: assessment of drill cuttings, observation and input regarding the drilling process, established core point and casing landing depths, logged core, operated total hydrocarbon detectors, supervised logging and… Show more Successfully supervised the geological portion of over 120 wells for numerous clients in diverse locations throughout the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The work ranged from single vertical well jobs to multi-well horizontal winter drilling programs. Duties included: assessment of drill cuttings, observation and input regarding the drilling process, established core point and casing landing depths, logged core, operated total hydrocarbon detectors, supervised logging and geo-steering, report generation and reporting of information to clients. I was outstandingly competent in my daily work and was sought after by clients for further work. My experience in horizontal, directional and vertical wells and my geographic exposure to British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and North West Territories was valuable for gaining a familiarity with the stratigraphy, play styles and rock types of the WCSB. Exposed to the operations practices from the different points of view from a variety of clients. I developed the ability to work in any new area on short notice. Through extensive field experience I am able to make recommendations to enhance operations or to continue with existing operational procedures. Show less

Responsible for data collection, assimilation and interpretation.Constructed stratigraphic and structural cross-sections. The data assembled was assimilated with the work of other geologists and lead to the drilling of oil wells in the Taber area.Provided assistance to staff geophysicist and geologists as required.
