Walter BensteadWalter Benstead worked in the oil and gas industry as a Geologist since 1965. During that time projects and employment have extended across Canada and overseas. Walter has a BSc Hons in Geology from Western University. My first assignment involved dong surface geology in the Canadian Arctic Islands. It taught more geology than any textbook or Professor. From doing surface geology moved on to wellsite geology in Northern Alberta and Libya with a major oil company. I spent most of my career years working as an independent. Later experience was with small Canadian start-ups My experience of this is that Free Enterprise and personal initiative work. Government handouts do not. The current Canadian Government is going in the exact opposite direction and will destroy the economy. With the recent American election, they could fall into the same trap.

I was given a solid geological science base but more importantly the tools to learn what I needed to know in science, industry, and beyond. Read More Read Less
