The Magnolia Field is located along the southern edge of the Titan Mini-Basin where multiple deep-water reservoir sands encounter a series of down-to-the-basin and antithetic faults adjacent to salt.  Reservoirs are of Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene age.   For a complete abstract, see the associated article.

Event Comments:

Geoffrey earned a Ph.D. degree in Geology at Rice University in 1994, an M.S. degree in Geology at Duke University in 1986, and a B.S. degree in Geology at Rice University in 1982.

Geoffrey has extensive experience working on the prediction and characterization of deepwater turbidite reservoirs.  He was responsible for mapping deepwater reservoirs for TFE's New Ventures group in offshore Brunei, Barbados, Nigeria, and Equatorial Guinea.  He also high-graded deepwater prospects and provided reservoir modeling inputs for deepwater Congo and the Gulf of Mexico.
