21/30c-30 (Gannet E)

A horizontal development well targetting sandstones of the Sele Formation, Forties T75 Member. Data aquisition was done using the Halliburton EarthStar ultra deep resistivity tool to optimise landout in the 12-1/4" section and ensure the 8-1/2" x 9-1/2" horizontal section was as shallow as possible in the reservoir whilst avoiding exiting into the overlying Sele shales. The well was successfully drilled and logged in Q2 2024 by operator Petrofac using the COSL Innovator semi-submersible drilling rig.

3/24c-6, 6A, 6B (North Eigg)

An 'S' shaped HPHT exploration well to be drilled in the summer of 2022. The reservoir sands of the Jurassic, Kimmeridge Clay Formation will be fully evaluated using M/LWD and Wireline toolstrings. The well is to be drilled by operator Xceed using the Transocean Paul B. Loyd Jnr. semi-submersible drilling rig.

2022 as Consultant Wellsite Geologist for DXC Geological Ltd.

23/16f-C1/C1Z (Columbus)

A development well designed to target the Palaeocene to early Eocene turbidite sandstones of the Sele Formation, Forties Sandstone Member. The horizontal reservoir section was directionally drilled and geosteered using the Schlumberger GeoSphere HD ultra deep resistivity tool. The well was operated by Xceed who drilled the well during the first and second quarter of 2021 using the Maersk Resilient jack-up drilling rig. Due to deteriorating hole conditions in the original wellbore the well was successfully sidetracked and logged (C1Z) and the open hole reservoir interval was completed and tied back via a subsea manifold to the Arran-Shearwater pipeline.
