Major Projects

Gibson focuses on well evaluation based on the interpretation of logs and core data. He is a regular user of Techlog for petrophysical analysis.

As a wireline field engineer with Schlumberger, Gibson supervised over 500 open-hole and cased-hole operations in a variety of lithologies. He led complex wireline operations for both large and smaller clients, including those where specialized logging was required. In addition, he performed quick look and log analysis in the field. Gibson received extensive training in tool measurement theory, tool calibration, tool operation, and troubleshooting to ensure log quality control. He was also heavily involved in field-testing new technologies, including the next-generation pulsed neutron tool. In 2017, he moved to South Texas as district manager and oversaw operations in a diverse range of environments.
