Daventry, England, United Kingdom

Providing high-resolution, non-destructive analyses of geological cores using a variety of Geotek systems. Including our multi sensor core logger (MSCL) to determine physical rock properties and our X-ray systems (RXCT, PlugScan) conducting 2D radiography, laminography and 3D X-ray CT to visualise and interrogate rock/sediment structures and features not visible by visual inspection. In addition to service projects my role includes servicing equipment and providing training and support to… Show more Providing high-resolution, non-destructive analyses of geological cores using a variety of Geotek systems.

Project: researching the extent and possible mechanisms for the presence of breached oil columns within the Outer Moray firth. Aims: to explain the presence of residual oil columns; considering the structural and tectonic evolution of the region, paying attention to timing of source rock deposition, hydrocarbon generation, expulsion, migration and trapping. The project involves a number of aspects of petroleum geosciences including seismic interpretation, petrophysics and basin… Show more Project: researching the extent and possible mechanisms for the presence of breached oil columns within the Outer Moray firth.

Projects: country overviews on Serbia and Lithuania and a study of the unconventional shale oil potential of the Paris basin. This experience expanded my knowledge of the petroleum industry exposing me to the whole petroleum cycle including geology, geopolitics, economics, fiscal terms and infrastructure. Unconventional study of the Paris basin involved an analytical report and modelling the economics of a drilling programme using the Bakken as an analogue to give analysis for current and… Show more Projects: country overviews on Serbia and Lithuania and a study of the unconventional shale oil potential of the Paris basin.
