Hannah Chittenden is a Geoscience Manager at Diamondback Energy based in Midland, Texas. Hannah leads a multi-disciplinary team of geoscientists and engineers who specialize in subsurface injection analysis, passive seismic interpretation, and disposal zone reservoir characterization. Hannah’s industry efforts have been focused on developing tools to analyze and interpret hydraulic fracturing and induced seismicity datasets and has worked on large scale injection projects in every major shale basin in North America.  She has presented and authored several papers focusing on completions geophysics and its application to subsurface challenges in unconventional plays.

Hannah holds an Honors B.Sc. in Geoscience from McMaster University (Ontario, Canada) and a M.Sc. from the University of Bern (Switzerland). Following her graduate studies and research work, she moved back to Ontario and joined Engineering Seismology Group (ESG) in 2013.  Hannah hired on with Diamondback Energy in 2019 as a Senior Geophysicist working with development and operations teams to create novel workflows for analysis and interpretation of completions monitoring data. She has helped lead industry efforts for best practices related to induced seismicity response and mitigation in the Permian Basin.
