About

Completed MSc in Integrated Petroleum Geoscience at the University of Aberdeen graduating November 2018. Attained BSc Honours in Petroleum Geology University of Aberdeen 2017 achieving high grades. Completed a 7 week independent mapping project in Assynt of the Northwest highlands of Scotland, focusing on the Lewisian, Torrdonian and Cambro-Ordovician sequences. Also collaborated with Dana Petroleum Ltd in order to complete a Masters project related to salt diapirism within the central North Sea. Currently working as a Geoscientist for the very active Exploration and New Ventures team at Dana Petroleum. Previously I worked as an Offshore Production Chemist and have worked on numerous assets around the North Sea and West of Shetland. Including the Lancaster Field, Catcher area, Bleo Holm and the Armada. I describe myself as a highly motivated, enthusiastic and eager to learn individual. A team player who pays attention to detail and completes tasks in a timely manner. Willing to relocate in order to further my technical skills in a challenging role.

    This role included and allowed me to, - Prepare offshore chemical test kits to meet high standards involving collecting and collating information from multiple sources. - Work in a lab where it was important to quickly and competently grasp a wide range of techniques and demonstrate high level of technical ability. - Gain insight into how operations are conducted; the challenges faced during and after production (specifically in upstream oil and water management); and the expectations of oil and gas production companies. - Gain understanding of HSE policies, procedures and guidelines and importance of compliance. - Improve interpersonal skills, relates well to others, open and honest in communication. - Further exceptional ICT skills with thorough working knowledge of all relevant Microsoft packages.

  • MSc Geoscience Intern (Thesis) at Dana Petroleum Limited
    May 2018 - Aug 2018 · 4 mos

    • Relating the effects of salt diapirism on Paleocene sedimentation in the Central North Sea; analysing how diapiric growth impacted reservoir deposition and distribution. • Studied the distal portion of the Forties Sandstone turbiditic fan system, reservoir lithology is sparser here and my research aided in finding the thickest and most amalgamated sections; improving economic value. • Seismic interpretation in Petrel on 3D data, which included, stratal pattern & geometry recognition of turbiditic complexes. Isopach maps were constructed to view better the distribution of reservoir fairways across the basin and their respective thicknesses. • Interpreted portions of a semi-regional megamerge survey to understand how similar stratigraphy within the region was impacted by analogous salt diapirs dependant on such things as timing and rate of growth.
