Sedimentology, Upper Cambrian, Microbial Bioherm, Andre Droxler

My current research focuses on the characterization of Upper Cambrian microbial reefs of Mason County, central Texas exposed along certain bodies of water. This project is part of a Microbial Research Consortium consisting of Rice and Trinity University with funding and interaction from Stat Oil, Shell, Exxon, and Conoco Phillips. This research consists of reservoir analysis of the microbial reef complex acting as an analog to large offshore discoveries of pre-salt hydrocarbon deposits of Angola and Brazil.
My specific field area focuses on a very large outcrop on the James River, located on a recently accessible private ranch. The outcrop consists of a laterally extensive pavement of juxtaposed bioherms adjacent to a cliff face revealing bioherm relationships with the inter-reef strata. Using a suite of analytical techniques, we hope to understand the relationship between microbial buildups and their depositional environment, with specific focuses on buildup geometries, microbial macro- and microtextures developed, and the relationship between the buildups and the coeval inter buildup sedimentation.

Oil and Gas Exploration, Geophysics, Seismic Interpretation, Project Management, Data Integration, Microseismic Monitoring, Microseismic Processing

Over 6 years of experience in the Oil and Gas industry working as a Professional Geophysicist. Experience in seismic interpretation for exploration and exploitation, as well as microseismic monitoring for hydraulic fractures and reservoir activity. Currently pursuing a Masters Degree at Rice University in Houston, TX to enhance knowledge of geology and geophysics as well as business and management.
Completing two internships in 2016 with Cheniere Energy, Inc and Total Americas.
