Aaron Leavitt is the Vice President of Exploration and Chief G&G at Ovintiv
with more than 20 years of subsurface experience. He has been with Ovintiv
for 12 years and works out of Ovintiv’s Woodlands Texas office. His passion
for geology in context to the petroleum system has been key in gaining deeper
understanding of Ovintiv's acreage positions across the North American shale
space.
Aaron’s previous roles with Ovintiv include leading the reservoir
characterization team that helped unlock the value of the STACK/SCOOP
plays of Oklahoma through deeper investigation of the subsurface. He also
guided the team who collected and interpreted the data collection program
from the first few cubes developed in the Uinta basin that have helped unlock
the recent results from that basin.
Previously in his career, he worked on shore US and International for another
independent E&P, a short time in the service side of the oil industry, and for the
Dept of Energy at the Nevada Test Site. Aaron graduated from Brigham Young
University with a Master of Science in Geology. He and his wife live in the
Houston area, are parents of 5 children and one very recent grandson.
