CRAIN'S PETROPHYSICAL HANDBOOK

 

E. R. (Ross) CRAIN, P.Eng. -- PROJECT  LIST

WHERE WE HAVE WORKED
We work anywhere you work. Conventional or unconventional oil and gas, tar sands, shale gas, igneous, metamorphic, clastic, carbonate, mixed lithology, sedimentary minerals, open hole, through casing, or LWD - we have petrophysical experience that counts.
