Competent Person Reports

CPR

Geophysical input to competent person reports

I contribute geophysical analysis and technical review to competent person reports, reserves and resources assessments, and asset evaluations. I have supported report preparation both as a consultant and from the operator’s side. My work examines the seismic and well data behind an assessment: interpretation, well ties, petrophysical inputs, depth conversion and reservoir characterisation. It also includes prospect risking and volumetrics, predominantly using REP software. This contribution sits within the wider multidisciplinary reporting team, with a focus on the geophysical evidence and assumptions supporting the assessment. Discuss the geophysical scope of your report, or see my asset evaluation experience.
