Christine Griffith
Research Scientist
Research Interests
Reservoir Analog and Modelling Studies: Evaluations of clastic and carbonate reservoir geometry and quality, with applications to static and dynamic reservoir models and development scenarios
Volume Assessment: Integrated assessments of structure, reservoir, hydrocarbon properties, and risks Seismic Mapping: Structural and reservoir mapping, 3D and 2D data
Well Analyses: Integration of geological mapping, petrophysical, petrographic and reservoir engineering analyses for exploration and development projects
Planning and Operations: Well planning to achieve goals and avoid hazards; integration with engineers during operations; appraisal and development planning
Additional Information
Dr. Christine Griffith is a petroleum geologist, with emphasis in stratigraphy and clastic and carbonate reservoir characterization in different structural settings, in exploration and development ventures. Dr Griffith has coordinated and mentored geologists, geophysicists, and engineers in exploration and production projects. Research integrates well logs, cores, outcrops, seismic and biostratigraphic data.
