Additional Information

Abstract.

Geophysicist-Exploration Manager, Allen Modroo, Core Energy LLC, will present examples of “flower structures”. He believes these features can be building blocks for reef growth and allow hydrothermal fluid movement and hence “saddle dolomite” throughout the Michigan Basin in Devonian through Ordovician or older strata. Results or recent drilling on these 3d seismic-defined targets will be presented as well as Allen’s thoughts on additional dolomitized targets within the Basin.  

Bio: Allen Modroo

Allen graduated in 1975 with a BS in geology from Michigan Technological University and has over 33 years experience in oil and gas, holding positions in exploration and consulting throughout the United States and Canada. He helped form M&M Exploration Partners, a local exploration company, and is now a partner-manager with Core Energy LLC.
