Wellsite Services and Supervision

I have worked as a wellsite geologist on numerous drilling projects across Ontario including offshore Lake Erie, focusing on carbonate and clastic targets within the Ontario portions of the Michigan and Appalachian basins. I routinely utilize industry-standard striplog and geosteering software to support real-time geological interpretation and decision-making at the wellsite.

Services I provide at the wellsite include:

  • Preparing and logging cuttings samples

  • Supervising mudlogging and gas detection

  • Overseeing DSTs, coring, and wireline programs

  • Directional drilling and MWD oversight

  • Communicating findings and providing timely reporting to the client

I have also served as wellsite supervisor and government-recognized Examiner on both deep and shallow wells, including exploration drilling and plugging/abandonment programs. My responsibilities have included preparing drilling programs and well license applications, supervising all field operations, coordinating materials and service providers, completing Ministry of Natural Resources Petroleum Operations Section reporting and Examiner requirements, and managing costs to align with project budgets.
