Conventional and converted wave datasets, 2D, 3D, 3C3D
Inversion, anisotropy
Borehole geophysics, VSP
Integrated interpretation
- FTG Gravity, Aeromagnetics, satellite imagery
Geology, petrophysics
Well targeting, prognoses and drilling programs
Play types
- Complex structural and stratigraphic
- Carbonate depositional systems
- Clastic depositional systems

Resource Project Management

Management of complex exploration and development projects requires attention to detail. Successful projects require clearly defined objectives, effective communication, and well organised execution . I’m comfortable in different operating and regulatory environments working with multi-disciplinary teams, senior management and investors. Together we’ll get the job done.

My experience includes:

Project scoping and objective setting
Determining technical, financial and timing requirements
Leading and participating with geoscience and engineering teams
Managing team, client, partner and stakeholder relationships
Responsible for planning applications, environmental permits and regulatory submissions at all government levels.
Conducting landowner negotiations for surveys, sites and access
Anticipating and managing challenges
Responsible for project HSE and security requirements
Handling communications, public engagement, landowner liaison, media, technical presentation
Delivering on time, tangible results

International exploration consulting

I have a broad experience base in exploration consulting, operations and management including oil and gas exploration and development, mineral exploration and geotechnical projects in a variety of different operating environments. Western Canadian basin (Alberta, NEBC, Sask, Montana) , Alberta/BC Foothills, Princeton basin (BC interior), Williston basin (Sask., N. Dakota), Michigan Basin (Ontario, Ohio), Canadian Shield (Manitoba, Sask., NWT), Appalachian basin (Ohio), Southern Permian basin (onshore UK), Rathlin Basin (Northern Ireland), Nile delta, Western desert (Egypt), Llanos basin (Columbia), Central Sumatra, Sunda, Asri, Northeast Java basins (offshore Indonesia).

There are many factors which influence exploration opportunity. Some of the key areas where I can provide an experienced perspective include:

Resource potential

Literature review and basin analysis
Play concepts, producing analogs
Review, evaluation, reprocessing and interpretation of public domain datasets
- Well data, seismic, gravity, magnetics, satellite imagery
Integrated geo-interpretation
Exploration program design, geophysical surveys and drilling recommendations

Fiscal and regulatory regime

Licensing systems
Fiscal terms
Planning
Environmental permitting
Health and safety

Operating environment

Stakeholder orientation
Service and supply chain
Infrastructure

Geotechnical and Environmental Assessment

Identifying and securing sites and access, measuring and recording baseline conditions are key initial steps in any projects lifecycle. I’ve been involved in all aspects of development from site selection thru reclamation.
