Ms. Lisë Brinton
SENIOR ASSOCIATE CONSULTANT - GEOLOGIST
Involved with petrography, sedimentology, and genetic and sequence stratigraphy as they apply to petroleum exploration, field development, and reservoir characterization worldwide. Participation in projects during 30 years in the petroleum industry have required understanding and application of sequence stratigraphic concepts, depositional systems and diagenesis modeling, recognition and evaluation of complex geologic relationships and controls on petroleum reservoir occurrence and distribution. A requirement for these studies has been a strong background in core description and thin section petrography in carbonate, mixed carbonate-clastic, and clastic depositional systems, and extensive experience in interpreting petrographic information for integration and application to complex, multidisciplinary, exploration and reservoir studies. Extensive experience using Advanced Logic Technologies WellCAD software for detailed digital core description in a format that accommodates all types of relevant well digital data including wireline and image logs, porosity data, rock property data, geochemical data, and digital photos.
