Experience:

Geologist with 22 years of experience. Highly skilled in technical evaluation of hydrocarbon projects, prospect generation, and recommendations for horizontal, high angle, vertical, and re-entry drilling in the U.S. and overseas. Geographic areas worked include offshore and onshore Gulf coast, Nigeria, Gabon, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela. Computer skills include Microsoft Office, and GeoGraphix. Fluent in English, Hindi, Bengali, and Assamesse.

Developed sand maps, structure maps, and reserve estimates to prepare a general field study in Kazakhstan resulting in recommendations for horizontal and vertical drilling and participation in the project. Performed technical evaluation, generated prospects, and made recommendations for horizontal wells in Uzbekistan and for horizontal, high angle, re-entry, and vertical wells in Venezuela. Recommended approximately 10 horizontal, high angle, and re-entry wells. Increased production 10-12% and supervised wellsite operations.

As a geologist, performed a field study and supervised wellsite operations offshore Nigeria. Successfully completed drilling with no lost time, and decreased cost by working closely with the engineer and field personnel. Prepared structure and isopach maps, and cross-sections, in generating prospects for four different clients.

Supervised a geologic staff of 15 who produced effective field studies for field development. Performed onshore regional mapping and made recommendations for leasing and drilling in Queen City, Yegua, and Wilcox formations in Texas.

As a senior production geologist, was responsible for field development, mapping, creating cross-sections, and recommending several development drilling proposals using micropaleontology. Assisted in helping determine future drilling locations and programs. Developed offshore fields in Texas and Louisiana.
