Reco's Undisputed EXPERTS: Daniel Jarvie + Bill Cathey Remember what the experts say:
Bill Cathey, president of Earthfield Technology, who has spent 30+ years evaluating sedimentary basins globally, stunningly concluded that “nowhere in the world is there a sedimentary basin this deep (30,000 feet) that does not produce commercial oil.
“Given the nature of this basin and the tremendous thickness, this is pretty much a no-brainer… it will be productive and I’m expecting high-quality oil,” said Dan Jarvie, a geochemist with Worldwide Geochemistry, LLC, in a press release.
Daniel Jarvie
GEOCHEMIST
Mr. Daniel Jarvie is globally recognized as a leading analytical and interpretive organic geochemist, having evaluated petroleum systems around the World. Most notably, he completed the geochemical analysis for Mitchell Energy, in their development of the Barnett formation of the Fort Worth Basin, in Texas. In 2010, he was awarded “Hart Energy’s Most Influential People for the Petroleum Industry in the Next Decade.”
Mr. Jarvie is retired Chief Geochemist for EOG Resources, one of the largest independent oil producers in North America. He is the President of Worldwide Geochemistry, LLC, working as a consultant to industry, and has also established a research lab to evaluate various aspects of petroleum systems worldwide. as well as conventional petroleum systems worldwide. His specialties include source rock characterization, especially for resource assessments, and also detailed source rock characterization for conventional petroleum systems analysis, including bulk and compositional kinetic determinations, high resolution light hydrocarbon and fingerprinting analysis, pyrolysis and catalysis studies.
Bill Cathey
GEOPHYSICIST
Bill Cathey, President and Chief Geoscientist of Earthfield Technology, has over 25 years of potential fields interpretation experience. His clients include Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips and many other major and large independent oil and gas companies. Mr. Cathey performed the entire magnetic survey interpretation of the Kavango Basin for ReconAfrica.
Mr. Cathey has served as the Chairman of the Potential Fields Group of the Geophysical Society of Houston, and has been a member of the SEG, AAPG, GHS and HGS.
Mr. Cathey has authored or co-authored numerous articles on the uses of magnetic and gravity analysis, including the first paper that showed the relationship between salt and magnetic data (1987).
