RYAN GREEN MSC. STUDENT, UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY RYAN.GREEN2@UCALGARY.CA | Hello! My name is Ryan Green. I’m finishing up my MSc. at the Department of Geoscience at the University of Calgary, studying seismic based lithofacies mapping with Dr. Per Kent Pedersen.

This sub-basin is an extensional system with trapping in tilted fault blocks lying within larger regional anticlinal structures (Figure 1). At the reservoir level, intrusive volcanics and gas bearing sands are both represented in the seismic [...]
