POP's Real Oil Men !!!Dennis Price,
B.Sc., P. Geo.
Dennis graduated with a BSc degree in geology from Queen Mary College, London University, in 1976. He worked field geology in South America, Africa, USA and Western Canada before joining ExxonMobil Corp. in 1981 where he held a combination of technical and business assignments in all facets of exploration, development and production in most of the key Canadian basins. Recent experience has been focused mainly in Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC where he has been managing geoscience aspects of conventional oil and gas properties, property divestment and new opportunities. Dennis’s extensive Western Canada experience includes prospect generation in Devonian, Triassic and Mississippian carbonates, Cardium, Viking, Glauconitic, Ellerslie, Triassic Coal Bed Methane and shallow gas formations of the Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC plains and foothills. Dennis is a proven finder with 15 MMBOE reserves proven through drilling or participating in joint opportunities in the WCSB. He was directly involved in identifying and bringing forward a large unconventional Cardium tight oil Opportunity on ExxonMobil Canada lands at Harmattan (80 MMBO). Imperial oil has a team currently exploiting these lands on behalf of Exxon Mobil Canada.
Trevor Bremner,
M.Sc., P. Geo.
Trevor Bremner is a consulting geologist with a wide range of Canadian experience in petroleum mineral exploration and government. In the petroleum industry he held a variety of positions with Imperial Oil, Mobil Oil Canada and Mobil-GC Canada, working on a broad range of projects in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, the Canadian Beaufort and the Avalon Basin of offshore Newfoundland. Mobil-GC Canada was a subsidiary that inherited General Crude’s Canadian assets after a takeover by Mobil Corp in the US. This assignment gave Mr. Bremner an opportunity to plan and participate in the drilling of numerous light and heavy oil wells, and to gain experience in many aspects of exploration, drilling, production and unit negotiations. At Mobil Oil Canada, he served in a variety of positions in exploration and production, including supervision of an exploration group of eight geologists and geophysicists working in the Grand Banks area of offshore Newfoundland. Mr. Bremner is a registered Professional Geologist in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Mr. Bremner also worked eight seasons in the Yukon Archer Cathro (founders of ATAC Resources). While with the Government of Canada, he served as Chief Geologist of the Yukon and as Yukon’s Acting Director of Mineral Resources, followed by three years as Head of Mining Legislation in Ottawa.
Hairuo Qing,
Ph.D. (McGill), P. Geo.
Dr. Hairuo Quing is Head of the Department of Geology at University of Regina, Saskatchewan. Prior to joining the University of Regina in 1999, he served three years as a lecturer at the Royal Holloway University of London, UK, and two years as a Research Fellow for the Geological Survey of Canada in Calgary. Dr. Qing's primary research focus is on reservoir characterization and modeling to develop effective exploration and production strategies, and to aid in the selection of secondary and tertiary recovery techniques. He has a particular interest in dolomitization and diagenetic alteration of carbonates, and their effect on porosity distribution, reservoir quality, and fluid flow. Dr. Qing's detailed knowledge of the Williston Basin, and his specific studies of the Red River, Midale, Frobisher and Alida reservoirs of southeast Saskatchewan, as well as the Shaunavon reservoir of Southwest Saskatchewan, will be of immense value to Petro One in developing its current acreage and advising on future acquisitions.
John H. Lake,
M.Sc. (Hons.), P. Geo.
John Lake is senior geologist with more than 30 years of experience in the petroleum industry. He graduated B.Sc. Hons. from University of Waterloo in 1973, and M.Sc. From McGill University (Montreal) in 1977 with a thesis on Upper Ordovician Mud Mounds of Anticosti Island, Quebec. From 1970 to 1979 he was involved in Precambrian field mapping and diamond drilling for the mining industry, followed by 10 years with Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. (Calgary) where his experience included well site geology, subsurface exploration in Northeastern British Columbia, and production geology in Saskatchewan. From 1990 to 1995 he worked as a production geologist for Saskoil out of Regina and Swift Current, SK, specializing in Mississippian carbonates and Jurassic Clastics. In 1995 he founded Lake Geological Services Inc., which offers consulting services out of Swift Current Saskatchewan. These services include core and sample escription, and well site geology. As one of Saskatchewan's leading experts in the subsurface geology of Saskatchewan, John is in constant demand to teach technical workshops for the oil industry on core description and interpretation, including full-day short courses at the annual Williston Basin conference in Saskatchewan and North Dakota, and the annual GeoExpo conference in Calgary.
Ron Larson, M.Sc.,
