Lewan GeoConsulting has experience with and recognized organic petrographers that they use for documenting vitrinite reflectance measurements, which is important indeveloping an understanding of the thermal stress experienced by an active pod of source rock in a petroleum system as demonstrated in the re-interpretation of the thermal stress experienced by the Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth basin. This becomes important when deciding whether exploration strategies are focused on primary or secondary natural gas accumulations.
