A Geologist Ruins Everything: The various challenges of field work.

Job opportunity in Newfoundland, Canada

As a Geologist there are essential land tools that you must carry along when going to the field. These tools help you have a successful field work or trip. This video listed some of the essential tools for Geologist and briefly described their uses. https://lnkd.in/eFqjkT3T

Introduction & New Roles I may not get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for this movie debut but I think it's a short and easy-to-view introduction to Discovery Group . After all, I consider myself closer to Grasberg than Speilberg!

My career as a geologist has offered me AMAZING opportunities to explore all kinds of projects and studies from mining to coal combustion residuals (CCR) to remediation to water resource exploration and all kinds of permitting at the local, state, and federal levels. I've traveled across North and South America working on some very cool stuff. I've trekked in and out of mines, slogged up and down mountains, hiked through all kinds of wooded as well as urban terrain, and sat behind numerous types of drill rigs. I've negotiated crazily technical permits to allow work to be safely and responsibly performed. HOWEVER.. Very few people understand what we actually do for a living. Here's a simple chart that breaks down the responses I get on average when I tell them I'm a geologist . :) what do YOU typically hear when you tell people you're a geologist?

Basin Entry Analysis (musings from the desk of a retired geologist) How do International OG Companies carry out a New Basin Entry Analysis? A lot of G&G folks work in project execution/ development or operations and most do not have the opportunity to be involved in the New Ventures side of things. I have often seen a disjoint in thoughts between the guys that are executing the work program and those of the originating team (comments like… I dunno, we did not pick this up!... Or….. what were they thinking!). The business of New Ventures is often perceived as a mystical black art or worse…. based on the whims and fancy of the loudest voice in the room (often senior leaders). I will attempt to illustrate here that there is actually a method to the madness (at least I hope so) and that if we document the process in a consistent and rigorous manner, hopefully everyone can be onboard from the start and take ownership of the projects.   So …. you have decided on or have been assigned a new basin to work on as new entry possibility. The company has no prior history of operating in the basin.  What Now… ? I will give a very simple methodology of how I would approach the analysis by using the well known Deep Water Campos/ Santos Basin as an example. There is extensive published information on the basin which I use here but there may be some basins out there where you may not have the luxury of such detailed information and you may have to improvise or purchase commercial data sets or buy some regional well and seismic data and work it up from scratch. The materials on the slides are for illustrative purposes only and are derived from (or I have interpreted from) public domain information. I have laid out a template of typical topics which I think are important to tackle and should be on everyone’s check list whenever possible when trying to analyze a new basin to determine whether there is a business case to proceed. A consistent methodology and proper documentation is quite important for a paper trail and a good means of communication with the executing team. This is especially so in larger organizations where silos are common. Hopefully you will find this useful. #OilGasExploration #Oil #Gas #NewVentures #BusinessDevelopment #BasinAnalysis #PetroleumSystem #Geology #DeepWater

Casey Mitchell is a proven oil finder, a geologist who knows Texas geology as good as anybody, is boots on the ground and can go tit for tat with any geologist from Midland, look this guy up. He can get you title from the courthouse, send the bit to the pay, and everything in between. #networking #geology #oilgas #texas #permianbasin #energy

Geology is not #One person job! You are so lucky if you work with #Mineralogist, #Petrologist, #Structural Geologist, #GIS Specialist, and #Resources Estimation Geologist in field of Mineral Exploration.
