About

Senior Geologist and Project Team Leader with 20+ years of upstream oil and gas experience, spanning both exploration and field development projects. Extensive experience working with a variety of reservoirs such as clastics (fluvial, deltaic, coastal, shallow and deep marine) and carbonates (shelf and ramp), across basins with extensional and compressional structural settings. Experienced in both operating and service companies, with proven ability to collaborate effectively within multi-disciplinary teams. My professional skills and competencies include: Geological Modelling and Uncertainty Analysis, Reservoir Characterization and Volumetric Estimation, Seismic Interpretation, Sequence Stratigraphy, Drilling Location Sourcing and Well Planning, Geological Support of Field Operations.
