Dave Robinson P.Geo.
Vice President, Exploration
Dave graduated from the University of Calgary with a BSc. Geology in 1984 and has practiced exploration geology for 37 years, primarily in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. He started his career working for Canadian Hunter Exploration in 1985 and was fortunate enough to be tutored in an environment of tremendous creativity and technical expertise owing to the leadership of its founders, John Masters and Jim Gray. When Canadian Hunter sold to Burlington Resources in 2001, Dave joined a small group of ex-Canadian Hunters to found Temple Exploration. This entity sold to Husky Energy in 2003 after growing production to 4200 BOED and delivering 6 times return on original investment. The same team began fresh and grew to about 3000 BOED before combining with publicly traded Cequence Energy in 2010. Dave’s role in the Temple-Cequence progression of companies has been grassroots generation of exploration ideas in new and emerging play types. Cequence Energy sold privately in the spring of 2021, and since then, he has consulted for junior exploration companies prospecting for new opportunities.
Dave is a member of the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG), American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and the Association of Professional Engineers Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA).
In addition to his love of geology, Dave has a keen interest in fostering lifelong learning in young people. He currently is the Board Chair of Connect Charter School and is also a member of the Calgary Academy Board.
