MICHELE G. BISHOP, STAFF GEOLOGIST

Ms. Bishop has broad experience as a consultant, explorationist, and research geologist. Her experience includes sedimentology of deep-water clastics, rift lacustrine, and extensional basins, and the interpretation of sequence stratigraphy in a variety of geologic settings and ages, domestically and in basins worldwide. Michele is the author or co-author of numerous published studies on depositional systems, reservoir quality, and petroleum-systems. She has also served as coordinating editor for a guidebook on gas in low permeability reservoirs in the Rockies and as executive editor for The Mountain Geologist.

Some of her studies use the petroleum systems approach: source, maturation, migration, reservoir, trap, seal, and timing, in assessment of discovered and potential resources. Michele makes geological evaluations of producing properties using PETRA to make structural and stratigraphic cross-sections and maps to confirm sale packages. She provides input to the economic evaluation process with reservoir quality, trap size, charge and drive analysis, and depletion. Ms. Bishop is also proficient in the interpretation of 3D and 2D seismic data and subsurface well data.
