Dr. Jeremy Meyer
Jeremy has over 10 years experience in petroleum geomechanics. After completing a mathematics and computer science degree he undertook an honours degree in geophysics and then a PhD in geomechanics entitled "the determination and application of in situ stresses in petroleum exploration and production". During his PhD research he completed several consulting/research projects which led to further employment with Adelaide University working on additional consulting projects. Jeremy is now a managing director of JRS Petroleum Research and is in charge of software development. He has experience in projects as diverse as wellbore stability, image-log interpretation, fracture stimulation, fault reactivation and CO2 sequestration and has worked in Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia.
Prof. Richard Hillis
Richard Hillis is the CEO of the Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre after previously holding the State of South Australia Professor of Petroleum Geology and the Mawson Professor of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Adelaide. He graduated BSc (Hons) from Imperial College (London, 1985), and PhD from the University of Edinburgh (1989). His main research interests are in petroleum geomechanics and sedimentary basin tectonics. He leads a group of nine working on these topics at the Australian School of Petroleum (University of Adelaide), has published ~70 papers, and has consulted to many Australian and international oil companies. Richard is a Director of JRS Petroleum Research Pty Ltd and of Petratherm Ltd. He is a member of AAPG, AGU, ASEG, EAGE, GSA, GSL, PESA, SEG & SPE.
Dr. Scott Mildren
Scott Mildren completed his PhD entitled "the contemporary stress field of Australia's north west shelf and collision related tectonism" at the University of Adelaide in 1997 and took up a position as structural geologist with Z&S (Asia) Ltd. (now Baker Atlas Geoscience). At Z&S he interpreted resistivity and acoustic image data with application to in situ stresses and fracture characterisation. From 1999 until 2004 he was among the academic staff at the Australian School of Petroleum and the National Centre for Petroleum Geology and Geophysics researching various geomechanical related issues such as, fault and cap rock seal integrity, fractured reservoirs, wellbore stability and trap risking. He is currently a managing director of JRS Petroleum Research Pty Ltd providing geomechanical and image log services to the petroleum industry. Scott is a member of AAPG, ASEG, PESA and SPE.
