KEY CAPABILITIES
SEISMIC INTERPRETATION
Interpretation of 2D/3D/4D datasets, both in the time and depth domains, for prospect/target definition, equity redeterminations, structural/stratigraphic frameworks and reservoir definition
DEPTH CONVERSION
Velocity model building for depth conversion purposes, including depth-to-depth calibrations
WELL CALIBRATION
Well synthetic generation and calibration to seismic to determine picking stratgey for reservoir and overburden horizon interpretations, incorporating VSP survey results
QI
Fluid replacement modelling, seismic modelling, avo analysis, log curve modelling
WELLS
Target selection, well planning and documentation. Site survey data analysis for shallow hazards and soil conditions. Real-time support for drilling operations, incorporating intermediate VSP when available
IT/DM
Extensive software experience: Petrel, RokDoc, DecisionSpace, OpenDTect, DUG, Kingdom, ArcMap, GeoTeric, PaleoScan
Extensive data wrangling: Python, Oracle sql/plus (8i certified), machine learning, MS Excel
