Jon Noad
Consultant Geologist
Specialties: Sedimentology, Exploration Geology, Development Geology, 3D reservoir modelling, Sequence stratigraphy, field geology, teaching and coaching young professionals
More than 20 years of oil and gas related experience, as well as 4 years of university level and industry teaching. Experienced trainer in geology, in the field, the core store and the classroom. Happy to consult or take on part or full time consulting roles.
Extensive experience in both Exploration and Development Geology, both international (Colombia, Middle East, Russia, North Sea) and in western Canada. Worked in oil and gas since 1998, after completing a Masters and PhD. in Sedimentary Geology.
My management experience includes managing the G&G New Graduates at Husky for two years, as well as managing all geology related training and all the upstream Peer Reviews. Previously I held the role of Exploration Manager at Murphy Oil Canada, where I managed a team of eight technical professionals. We made discoveries in both gas and shale oil plays during my time there. I have also held several Team Lead roles with Shell, and lead exploration geologist roles on several Middle Eastern exploration projects.
I have set up and taught many in house courses that showcase my extensive skill base. These included field trips, numerous workshops and classroom based courses on diverse geological topics. I am a qualified Professional Geologist (Alberta, APEGA), and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Alberta. I hold a Masters and a PhD. from the University of London.
