Engaged in geophysical exploration and production of Helium in Canada and the United States. North American Helium has the largest helium land position in Canada, and is the most active driller.

Calgary, Canada Area

Geophysical consultant to the O&G industry specializing in seismic interpretation along with essential risk mitigation strategies for prospect generation, evaluation, well planning and increasing reserve adds• Contracted to North American Helium, one of the most active Helium drilling and exploration companies in Canada. Engaged in geophysical exploration and production of Helium in South Saskatchewan, resulting in North American Helium acquiring the largest land position in Canada with rights to over 9 million acres of prospective land• Contracted to Koch Oil Sands ULC to provide geophysical expertise towards their exit strategy from Canadian owned oil and gas plays • Contracted to Hell’s Half Acre Petroleum Corp. for a work assignment to evaluate Cretaceous zones in the Ferrier/Ricinus area of West-Central AB. Validated over 20 locations within the Cardium/Viking/Ellerslie targeting unconventional tight, liquids rich gas requiring multi-stage frac completion technology. Provided key geophysical mapping with upside locations in support of geological/engineering data required for reserve audit

Calgary, Canada Area

Provided geophysical expertise for all teams within Northern Blizzard, an intermediate development company operating in West Central Saskatchewan targeting primarily heavy oil reserves within the Mannville and Mississippian

Calgary, Canada Area

Worked within a multi-disciplinary team for the areas of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Western Manitoba providing geophysical expertise and leadership to assess development and new exploration opportunities for NAL, a private, mid-sized O&G company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corp.

Calgary, Canada Area

Worked primarily Deep Basin of NW Alberta and the Peace River Arch, with secondary focus on various land holdings located in West Central Alberta for Redcliffe, a publically traded junior O&G company Engaged in non-conventional resource style play-types of tight gas, with a strategy/businessmodel specifically targeting Montney & Nikanassin tight shale/sand gas in the Gold Creek/Karr/Wapiti areas of NW Alberta (requiring horizontal drilling and multi-stage frac technology)

Calgary, Canada Area

Worked structural and stratigraphic play types of both clastic and carbonate depositional environments within the Edson and Elmworth groups in West Central Alberta and North East BC. Provided geophysical support for numerous development/exploration opportunities in West Central Alberta with specific focus on areas of North Brazeau River, Willesden Green, Ferrier and Garrington

Houston, Texas Area

Identified, evaluated and presented to management a risked inventory of deep-water exploration opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico. Targets included clastic environments of Plio-Pleistocene and Miocene ages within the Garden Banks, Alaminos Canyon, and East Breaks areas• Performed structural and stratigraphic interpretation of regional 2D and large 3D seismic data sets. Integrated results with well log correlations, synthetics, and paleo/bio-stratigraphic studies in order to tie into regional hydrocarbon producing trends• Evaluated sub-salt prospects utilizing pre and post-stack time/depth migrated 3D seismic surveys• Identified and quantified exploration risks and reserves assessment through use of seismicattribute analysis combined with volumetric and economic software calculations• Utilized AVO analysis software to identify and classify amplitude anomalies

Calgary, Canada Area

Processed 2D and 3D seismic data through entire flow from diverse basins including Alaska, Tunisia, Cuba, Argentina as well as Western Canada.• Conducted three field assignments in the Southern United States on large 3D seismic acquisition projects (1996-97):- Managed all front end processing of 200 & 70 mi2 3D seismic projects in Mississippi and Louisiana. Performed quality control in the field, including geometry corrections, first break picking, computation of refraction statics, velocity analysis and generation of SEG-Y tapes- Created brute stacks by testing pre-processing parameters and applying a provisional processing sequence to a subset of data- Coordinated seismic information and timelines with drillers, surveyors, party managers, fieldcrews and head office
