Basin Dynamics provides innovative geoscience and reservoir characterization solutions dedicated to the oil and gas industry to quantify geologic risk and uncertainty.  The company's core strengths enable operators to replace traditional reservoir description with high resolution data derived from advanced knowledge of reservoir architecture, process sedimentology, depositional systems and sedimentary basins.

“I have never been impressed with a geological talk the way I was impressed with Jon's: clear, sharp, with lots of facts, and entertaining.”
