About DeepReserv

Pioneering geological excellence and sustainable energy solutions across Canada since 2007

Our Story

A legacy built on expertise, innovation, and integrity

Founded in 2007 by a group of veteran geologists and reservoir engineers, DeepReserv emerged from a shared vision: to revolutionize how the energy industry approaches subsurface exploration and reservoir management. What began as a small consulting practice in Calgary has evolved into one of Canada's most trusted geological consulting firms, serving clients from British Columbia to Newfoundland.

Our journey has been defined by an unwavering commitment to technical excellence and continuous innovation. In an industry often resistant to change, we've consistently championed the integration of advanced technologies—from 3D seismic interpretation and reservoir simulation to machine learning-enhanced production forecasting—while never losing sight of fundamental geological principles.

Throughout economic cycles and industry transformations, DeepReserv has remained steadfast in our dedication to our clients' success. We've weathered commodity price volatility, adapted to evolving regulatory frameworks, and embraced the industry's transition toward more sustainable practices. Each challenge has strengthened our resolve and refined our capabilities.
