Our Growth and Our Partnerships
The evolution of Sigma over the past five decades has allowed for the development of ample partnerships within the industry. Sigma, as an entity, played an instrumental role in the creation of the Chief Geophysicists Forum. Moreover, not one, but two of our presidents have held positions of leadership with the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists. Finally, and most notably, the founder of Sigma Explorations, Wes Rabey, is a standing member of the Canadian Petroleum Hall of Fame.
Get To Know Our Founder
Sprouting from humble beginnings, Sigma Explorations was founded in 1966 by our first president Wes Rabey. Having set the foundation of his career with Imperial Oil in 1945, Wes quickly became an influential member in the advancement of the geophysical industry. His contributions range vastly from founding Accurate Geophysical in 1950 to conducting the first participation survey in the history of the industry. In recognition of such achievements, Wes was inducted into the Canadian Petroleum Hall of Fame in 1998. Wes passed away at the age of 99 in June of 2021.
