I can provide strategic consulting services to help businesses align their technology goals with their overall business objectives, enabling them to make informed decisions and stay ahead in the competitive market.
After graduating from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a BSc in Geophysics in '96, began his career acquiring gravity and magnetic data in Northern Labrador with Excel Geophysical Inc. From there he moved into seismic data processing of foothills data with CGG and Arcis, before moving to the exploration plays in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and Foothills of Alberta and BC with Devon. He later began working on the Deep Devonian and Carbonate Reefs of NEBC with Petro-Canada, during his time with Devon and Petro-Canada he pursued his MSc from the University of Calgary, graduating in 2007. After graduating, he moved onto development and exploration projects with Petro Canada based out on the East Coast of Canada, and then onto his current role of east coast exploration at Nalcor Energy in St. John’s Newfoundland. Deric has 25 years of exploration experience with a background in surveying, gravity, magnetics, seismic processing as well as advanced interpretation of stratigraphic and structural plays, both onshore and offshore. Deric is a member of the SEG and the EAGE and is a registered Professional Geoscientist in Newfoundland and Labrador (PEGNL). And many articles written on his LinkedIn Profile
Since working with Deric at Arcis we have crossed paths several times over the last 20+ years. He remains a dedicated and professional Explorationist with a broad base of skills ranging from off shore seismic acquisition, to state-of-the-art processing workflows through PSDM and FWI, and on to detailed interpretation of the most challenging datasets. His attention to detail is matched by his easy to get along with personality; he quickly integrates into any team project he is involved in and his determination to get things done correctly is contagious. I would highly recommend Deric to anyone looking for a highly skilled Explorationist with a broad range of experience.
I had the opportunity to work with Deric in many aspects of the geophysical science. He is a committed and well rounded geophysicist who understands the application of technology from field design through interpretation and quantitative analysis. Deric would be a great asset to any team or company looking for geophysical support of their exploration and development efforts
I can offer invaluable expertise in strategic seismic interpretation, elevating your seismic data analysis to new heights. With a deep understanding of geological structures and advanced interpretation techniques, I can help unlock crucial insights from your seismic data.
