Experience:

Geophysicist and proven oil finder with 23 years of experience with a major oil company, an independent, and as a consultant. Experienced in successfully applying the latest technology in seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. Expert in the use of UNIX and PC workstations. Thorough, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. Geographic areas worked include the Gulf coast, the mid-continent, the Permian Basin, the Gulf of Mexico, Venezuela, and Mexico. Computer skills include Microsoft Office, Lotus 1-2-3, Freelance Graphics, dBase, Landmark, ZMAP, GeoQuest, Charisma, Kingdom, and Hampson Russell AVO Inversion. Familiar with Russian.

Interpreted 2-D/3-D seismic data over 400 offshore blocks and identified 100 leads for lease sales. Managed a seismic database with 9,000 wells on five workstations. Conducted south Texas and offshore field studies. Constructed maps for reserve audits. Performed attribute analysis and amplitude extraction on pay zones. Constructed fault planes and Integrated with horizon maps. Integrated petrophysical data with geology and geophysics to identify drilling opportunities. Created synthetic seismograms for modeling seismic signatures. Identified prospects for lease acquisition and drilling. Generated and matched synthetics from MIRA system to confirm phase of seismic data. Used attribute analysis and post-stack processing to enhance anomalies and inversion to estimate thickness of Tuscaloosa sands. Reviewed outside-generated prospects and joint ventures. Prepared sales packages for internally-generated prospects.

Mapped 1,000 miles of regional seismic in Texas using Landmark. Reviewed outside submittals in a five-county area. Generated leads for acreage acquisition. Reprocessed Vibroseis data to improve frequency content. Used inversion data to identify sand across expansion faults; modeled faulting to identify problem areas under growth faults.

Assembled a seismic database for lower Tuscaloosa Trend. Prepared a regional map over a 15-county area and generated prospects. Integrated geology into stratigraphic interpretations. Utilized inversion sections to identify Smackover porosity.

Remapped a field to identify additional development locations. Produced a regional map of the salt features in the Mississippi Salt basin. Generated leads in the Smackover in Alabama and Florida. Used VSP data to tie wells with seismic. Mapped deep Cotton Valley structures and shelf margin over five counties. Made regional studies of the expanded Tuscaloosa and Wilcox.
