Historical Project List
Welcome To My World

"We work anywhere you work" - that was our unofficial motto. Conventional or unconventional oil and gas, tar sands, shale gas, igneous, metamorphic, clastic, carbonate, mixed lithology, sedimentary minerals, open hole, through casing, or LWD -- we have petrophysical experience that counts.
 

Worldwide experience in Canada, USA, Mexico, Trinidad, Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, North Sea, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Abu Dhabi, Angola, Thailand, Viet Nam, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Australia, China, Mongolia, Japan, Russia, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.

The record below covers 1984 through 2018. The period 1973 to 1984 was lost to the Great Paper Shredder.
