Some recent projects (2015-2026):

 UAE long-term contract ('24/'25/'26)  for structural interpretation at regional, prospect & well scale for NOC   - constructed mega-regional balanced sections through the Arabian peninsula to constrain timing and style of thrust belt deformation including ophiolite emplacement and to provide regional context for prospects and producing field-scale interpretations integrating 3D and 2D seismic, well and ouctrop data

Mexican Fold and Thrust Belt - (9 month project, 2023)   - regional structural framework, balancing, block-wide interpretation & prospect definition in poorly imaged onshore fold-and-thrust-belt, seismic imaging velocity model construction using iterative balanced sections during seismic reprocessing

 
Trinidad and Tobago (9 month project, 2020 and 2021) - regional structural framework, balancing, block-wide interpretation & prospect definition in complex deepwater fold-and-thrust-belt

Active C.C.S. project (IBDP project Illinois Basin) 2019/20: geomechanical, seismic and microseismic analysis, qc ('19/'20/'21)
 
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project, Illinois Basin (2019, '20, '21): subsurface review for active CO2 injection project onshore US. Focusing on coupled fluid flow and geomechanical modelling
 
Atlantic Margins (Europe '18/'19) regional structural interpretation and sequential restoration to provide constraint on radiogenic crust distribution, heat-flow and source rock maturation, restored bathymetry modeling to constrain reservoir presence risk
 
North Sea (Viking Graben/Utsira High area) prospect and regional scale fault interpretation and prospect specific seal assessment to assess relative risk profile across prospect inventory
 
Salt tectonics, Sureste Basin, Mexican GoM: Regional to prospect-scale structural framework building/sequential restoration and integration of viable kinematics, particularly w.r.t. allochthonous salt emplacement, into Trinity basin model.
 
4 projects (2015-present) in Zagros carbonate exploration - thrust belt interpretation and balancing integrating outcrop, well and seismic data. 3D balanced structural model building in fold belt with multiple detachments and disharmonic folding. Geomechanical strain modelling for Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) and conceptual fracture network characterisation in stacked carbonate reservoirs (Iraqi Kurdistan). 

Salt tectonics, N. Gulf of Mexico: Regional (onshore to ultra-deepwater) structural section construction for prospect context renewal, integrating modern RTM data
 
Discrete Fracture Network modelling integrating geomechanical modelling of interaction between natural and induced fractures (US onshore unconventional - Niobrara, Eagle Ford).
