Founder / Scicat Geo For EgsScicat Oil Llc 2020 - 2021Houston, Texas, UsSciCat Geo is a subsidiary of SciCat Oil LLC (or SciCat®) founded in 2011 by Dr. Michael Shoemaker and is based in Houston, Texas.SciCat is subsurface geophysical technology providing a seismic driven development solution for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in sedimentary basins. SciCat has developed award winning 3-D seismic geomechanics technology that measures in-situ 3-D minimum horizontal stress which is the key rock parameter that governs hydraulic fracture stimulation of relatively tight geologic formations, not only for enhanced energy production, but for controlled fracture design and minimal environmental footprint. The novel technology and method is the recent recipient of the 2020 prestigious AAPG Levorsen Memorial Award for innovation in subsurface exploration. Changes in rock geomechanics and subsequent minimum stress define stimulated rock volume (SRV) and reservoir extent, which drives well performance and ultimate recovery of geothermal liquids, for unconventional Enhanced Geothermal Systems. For oil/gas and unconventional petroleum systems application, the novel technology has been successfully applied to the prolific Midland and Delaware sub-basins of the greater Permian Basin, the results of which have been peer-reviewed and published. -
Chief Geophysicist / GeoscientistCallon Petroleum Company 2013 - 2020Houston, Texas, UsTechnology innovator and member of core unconventional (shale) operations team responsible for multi-year production growth of 5,000 to over 100,000 BOE/day from 2013 to 2020, transforming company to a pure Permian Basin operator. Technical assurance and hands-on operations involving innovative technology using seismic-to-simulation work flows for optimal landing and well spacing of horizontal wellbores within the Midland and Delaware basins, implementing a multi-domain approach using anisotropic corrected 3D seismic in depth for horizontal stress Sh (min), integrated with triaxial core for geomechanics, petrophysics for lithofacies/mineralogy, and reservoir properties. 3D seismic is integrated with calibrated mechanical earth models used for evaluation and mapping of horizontal reservoir (shale) heterogeneity and completion quality fairways for acreage high grading ahead of the drill bit, and to identify areas prone to potential parent/child issues.Highlights:• Discovered prolific second WFMP-B bench Midland Basin using seismic lithology, significantly increased well inventory• Optimized stage spacing WFMP-A and stacked lower SPRB plays, mapped geomechanics, modeled fracture geometry, enhanced production • Supervised all pre-drill horizontal trajectory designs with 3D geomechanics and structure from seismic in depth• Head of 3D seismic operations including all facets of acquisition/licensing, processing, AVO inversion for rock properties• Implement 3D neural network multivariate machine learning of petrophysics with seismic for lithofacies/reservoir evaluation for acreage high grading• Rock physics for quantitative seismic response to geomechanics/stress Sh (min) and completion quality mapping• Promoted technology, public speaking 2019: URTeC, Permian Basin Completion Congress, SPE Permian, WTGS, and GSH•Mentored younger workers -
