Subsurface Basin Analysis & Petroleum Systems
Research takes advantage of the large amount of 2D and 3D seismic and well data now available for most petroliferous basins in the world. We use state of the art software for both processing and interpreting these data which are used both for understanding basin-forming mechanisms and discovering new deposits of oil and gas.

Research Staff
 | Graduate studies were focused on igneous processes, magmatism and related formation of ore deposits. Professional career included exploration for base and precious metal ore deposits, coal assessment and development, and research, exploration and development in the upstream sector of the oil and gas business. Managerial positions led to development of ...
