COSIA Exploration Tools 2020

Land Research Oil Sands Innovation

Date: November 17 & 18, 2020 (Online) 

Time: 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. (MT) 

Find out more about the COSIA Land Innovation Opportunity, hear from leading innovators around the world and start generating your own ideas and solutions for approaching zero footprint exploration. The oil sands industry is aggressively pursuing collaborative and innovative solutions that will reduce the exploration footprint in Alberta, Canada’s boreal forest and support woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) and forest conservation best practices.

Keynote Speakers

John

John Molberg
 

John Molberg has worked in the UAS industry for over twenty years with CDL Systems, Lockheed Martin, and now as Vice President of Canadian UAVs. His focus has been on larger, long range military UAV programs, specifically focusing on command and control systems. The art of how to effectively and safely design and operate these systems beyond visual line of sight has been the hallmark of his career. 

At Canadian UAVs, Mr. Molberg leads the innovation group, whose focus is applying lessons and technology to effectively bring forth the necessary innovations to allow for the use of long range UAVs in commercial airspace. Canadian UAVs is a founding member of the SkySensus Project – which exists to allow for the integration of UAVs into complex airspace. Mr. Molberg is a professional technologist, having received his degree in Electronics Engineering Technology from DeVry University in 2000.

Jack

Jack Bouska

Graduating from the University of Alberta in 1980, Jack Bouska has worked at Seiscom, Western Geophysical, Dome Petroleum, Amoco and BP. His worldwide expat assignments spanned the America’s, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, managing onshore and offshore surveys. Geophysical inventions include Sparse-3D, Distance Separated Simultaneous Sweeping (DS3), and the BP-Stryde piezoelectric node. Jack’s contributions have been recognized with several best paper awards from the SEG and CSEG, and selection as 2009 SEG Spring Distinguished Lecturer in Geophysics. Jack has also served as an EAGE Distinguished Lecturer, and short course instructor in seismic acquisition design and processing.

Ryan

Ryan Hutchinson

Ryan Hutchinson is a technically sophisticated and business-savvy management professional with a pioneering career in new technology integration in the energy extraction and transmission industry. He’s been focused on implementing advanced technology and business solutions into the oil and gas industry to meet a diversity of needs with a record of delivering simultaneous large-scale, mission-critical projects on time and under budget. He has an in-depth understanding of Industry 4.0 including AI and ML, robotics, data science, IoT, 3D printing and VR/AR but more importantly how they relate to the future of the energy industry. Ryan has a degree in Industrial System Engineering and holds the role of Business Development Manager at Canadian UAVs.
