  • Consulting to Perth Basin O&G Exploration Company undertaking a 3D seismic survey. Duties include heritage, environmental and permitting, acquisition planning and supervision. Completed Walyering 3D – 2019
  • Consulting to Perth Basin O&G Exploration Company undertaking seismic exploration (Mogumber 2D) and an airborne geophysical survey.
  • Geophysical consulting for an airborne survey to a new venture for Special Prospecting Application blocks in the Officer Basin, Western Australia. Currently converting to EP’s.
  • Consulting to a large E&P company for multiple seismic projects within the Perth Basin.
  • Consulting to a US based company to undertake a large 3D seismic survey in the Canning Basin.
  • Consulting to a O&G company for a microseismic project
  • Consulted to a seismic survey company for DMIRS Goldfields seismic survey
  • Consulted to Gas storage company for the Tubridgi 3D seismic survey
  • Seismic survey design for a mineral exploration company in the Goldfields
  • Seismic supervision of the Meda 2D seismic survey in the Canning Basin for Rey Resources. Completion of Geochemical survey

  • Review previous seismic surveys, reprocessing and interpretation and integration with potential field geophysics including depth imaging.
  • Acquisition of Airborne Gravity Gradiometry and integration with existing geophysical database. Co-authored a paper on the King Sound Area with colleagues from Fugro Airborne. Completed the acquisition of the largest airborne gravity gradiometry survey in Australia. Presented results at the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists conference 2015 and further results at the Airborne Gravity Workshop at the ASEG 2016.
  • Pioneered an automated seismic picking workflow over the Bunda 3D seismic survey including prospect generation and maturation and subsequently published a technical paper at the West Australian Basin Symposium in 2013. This has benefitted through reduced horizon picking time and increased geological interpretation time.
  • Pioneered the use of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in the objective measurement of seismic line rehabilitation.
  • Established in-house microseismic monitoring program for 2015 hydraulic fracturing program at Valhalla North 1 and Asgard
  • Highlights include: Two commercial oil discoveries at Ungani and Ungani Far West and establishment of Laurel Tight gas project
