Gregory Smith is an Adjunct Professor at Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. He holds an ORCID ID (0000-0002-6773-0425) and is affiliated with the Office of the Provost. With over 35 years' experience in petroleum and minerals geology, Smith has held senior roles at Exxon, BHP, Woodside/Shell, and others. His research focuses on 3D basin modeling, organic geochemistry, and geostatistical analysis of seismic and well data, often collaborating with Curtin's Statistics and Engineering departments. He is actively involved in professional societies like AAPG, PESA, and TSOP. His teaching emphasizes Honours, Masters, and PhD supervision in reservoir modeling, sequence stratigraphy, and AI techniques. Current projects include thermal modeling of organic maturation, machine learning integration with seismic data, and outcrop analogues for 3D reservoir modeling. Smith's work spans basins like Canning, Gippsland, and McArthur River, with expertise in TOF-SIMS and FESEM geochemistry. Despite no explicit awards listed, his extensive industry and academic contributions reflect significant recognition in the field.
Research interests include organic-rich sediment paragenesis, carbon cycle evolution, and reservoir modeling using Petrel software. Notable projects involve experimental design optimization for reserve estimates and 4D seismic integration in reservoir simulation. Smith’s collaborations extend to WA Organic & Isotope Geochemistry groups and the John de Laeter Centre. He advises students on topics ranging from basin modeling to AI-driven experimental design, though specific advisee names are not provided.
