This area has extensive historical production from vertical wells in a subcrop edge play. The project involved revisiting the old petrophysical model and working with the petrophysicist to create a new model calibrated to core data. I used Spotfire software to compare petrophysics, core and production data together to analyze the data for trends to evaluate what drives production. - I worked with the Acquisitions and Divestitures (A&D, BD) group on the divestiture packages for the Clearwater area for the Rock Creek, Ellerslie and Ostracod formations.
