Benjamin Thorpe has over 5 years of experience as a lead logging geologist, where he logs over 60 wells and travels frequently to remote locations. He reviews samples with laboratory equipment to analyze composition and oil content. Thorpe also maintains drilling data logs from multiple onsite data streams and writes technical reports. As an intern, he aided in operating a marine geologic repository, splitting and analyzing piston cores and troubleshooting logging hardware. Thorpe has a bachelor's degree in geology from Oregon State University with coursework in sedimentology, hydrogeology, and other relevant topics. He has skills in mud logging, core logging, mapping, analysis, and software like WellSight and ArcGIS.
