HyperMedia Home Page HyperMedia Home PageThirteen years experience as a proven oil finder and a creative, multifaceted, professional with broad experience in exploration and sedimentology of a variety of geologic settings and ages worldwide.
Pioneered the creative application of regional sequence statigraphy, using 3D and 2D seismic data, to develop frontier exploration concepts resulting in the identification and recommendation of new exploration and development opportunities in the sub-salt Gulf of Mexico and coastal Oligocene.
Participated in team responsible for the evaluation and recommendation for puchase of Gulf of Mexico leases, resulting in deep-water discovery of 90 MMBO estimated reserves and and a shelf-edge discovery of 100 MMBO estimated reserves.
Monitored dirilling and costs of exploratory wells and directed well-site wireline logging, RFT, SWC, and whole core operations. Determined formation damage from drilling fluids, where recommendations led to successful completion.
Described the depositional system and basin setting of Wamsutter Field, Lewis Formation, WY.
Developed the use of clastic diagenesis as an exploration and production tool to predict and describe reservoir quality, Frontier Formation, Wyoming.
Published six articles and five abstracts including WINN, R.D., Jr., Bishop, M. G., and Garder, P.S., 1987, "Shallow-water and sub-strom-base deposition of the Lewis Shale in Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, south-central Wyoming:" Am. Assoc. Petroleum Geologists Bull., v. 71, no. 7, p. 859-888. Publication list upon request.
