Experience:

Geophysicist with 22 years of experience with a national oil company, service companies, and academia. Experienced in geophysical interpretation, integration and modeling of geophysical, well log, petrophysical, and geological data for prospect generation and reservoir characterization, AVO analysis, reservoir modeling and fluid substitution, sequence stratigraphy, core-to-log and log-to-seismic calibration, team supervision, project management, and budgeting and cost control. Geographic areas worked include the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, Latin America, and west Africa. Computer skills include Landmark, Z-Map, GeoQuest, Hampson-Russell, Freelance, dBase, and Microsoft Office.

Conducted projects with worldwide basin data to test seismic, well-log, mapping, and data management software on UNIX platforms. Developed methods for prospect evaluation and reservoir modeling from integration of seismic and well-log data. Extracted 3-D seismic attributes, calibrated logs, and mapped Gulf of Mexico clastic and mid-continent carbonate reservoirs. Appraised discoveries and dry holes from workstation interpretation to determine well locations. Performed pre- and post-stack processing, AVO modeling and analysis using multiple cross-plots, and attribute sections for an offshore prospect. Performed lithologic and acoustic modeling and constrained inversion of a pinnacle reef.

Evaluated prospects offshore and onshore Nigeria. Applied digital image processing, mapping, and GIS techniques to Earth Resources evaluation. Identified prospects and high-potential areas leading to discoveries, and recommended extending the leasehold. Analyzed sequence stratigraphy and correlated lithostratigraphy from log and seismic via synthetic seismograms.

Developed a computer model of fluid-substitution on shaly sands offshore Louisiana for gas and various GOR oils. Evaluated direct hydrocarbon detection in shaly sands from Domenico-plots of fluid-substitution. Improved shaly-sand calibration.

Identified new prospects in Nigeria from integrated interpretation and modeling. Mapped reservoir properties from seismic and log integration in west Texas, the Gulf coast, and the Niger Delta. Developed criteria aiding seismic-recognition of growth-faults on 3-D sections.

Mapped hydrocarbon prospects in the National Petroleum Reserve from seismic stratigraphy and structural interpretation. Conducted basin analyses and tectonic studies.
