About Kenton Shaw

Geophysicist working the Delaware Basin with experience in the Powder River Basin. I have interpreted seismic data for the Bone Spring, Avalon (Leonard), and most recently the Wolfcamp formations for three years. I currently am working JiFi inversions for all formations, Bone Spring and Wolfcamp, using RokDoc software over all of Devon\'s Delaware Basin assets. My experience extends into execution geophysics, helping to drill over 100 wells as well as basin mapping of both structural and stratigraphic oil plays in the Delaware Basin using amplitude and inversion seismic data. Outside of Devon, I currently serve on the board as President of the Geophysical Society of Oklahoma City, Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma\'s Leadership Council Mission Committee Chair and President-Elect, and a member of the Allied Arts ARTini Event Committee.
