Sabina Kraushaar is a geoscientist with expertise mapping the subsurface geology utilizing Petra software. As a member of Four Corners Helium, Ms. Kraushaar manages a database with over 100,000 wells, 17,000 geologic tops and over 10,000 digital logs. Ms. Kraushaar has helped prioritize area of interest in Utah and Colorado by mapping the structure, thickness, net porosity and net pay in the geologic zones of interest.
Prior to joining Four Corners Helium, Ms. Kraushaar was part of a private equity company who owned and operated 20,000 net acres in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico. Ms. Kraushaar was part of a two-person geology team who proved oil reserves by doing detailed petrophysics, geologic mapping and drilling three horizontal wells.
