About

I am a Snr Petrophysicist consultant (28+ years of mixed E&P experience), capable of performing a wide range of Petrophysical roles ranging from integrated Petrophysics studies for Field Development / well planning, strategic data acquisition/interpretation for exploration, development, WRM and surveillance, in a wide range of well types, OFF/ONshore and geological basins. I would be a great addition to a Studies/Execution team embarking on Field Development Studies/drilling campaigns, fit for purpose cost-effective Data Acquisition WRM/Surveillance programs (PLT diagnosis, cement/casing integrity logging), Core planning/acquisition and DSL/L&MWD/WL integrated Formation Evaluation, core to log integration, R/SCAL and integration of advanced logging tools data streams (NMR, FMI, Sonic/DSI, MDT and Fluid sampling, ADT, ECS, Pulse Neutron Capture/Spectometry for robust Saturation profiling/Petrophysical property modeling/upscaling to the 3D Static Geo-Cellular and Simulation Dynamic model. I am also hands-on as a wellsite Geologist (Operations: deployment and supervision of well program vendors for mud logging, DSL/WL/LWD logging, Geosteering, coring, cementing, casing, perforation, End of well Reporting, and daily drilling progress to asset Drilling Engr/Ops Geologist/Subsurface team. Another big aspect of my role is ensuring data integrity and QAQC and delivery of high quality log/Reservoir Engineering/Geological data. Detailed Cuttings description, Oil Show/GC analysis, picking Formation tops/Casing/Coring points and advising geosteering team in RealTime of Reservoir quality for optimized wellbore placement and maximixed reservoir exposure, drilling and well completion decisions, Having worked in a variety of geological basins (UKCS, GOM, ND, Borneo and recently MENA for last 12 years), I have a balanced view of siliciclastics and complex carbonate reservoirs I would be an integral team member for any asset team embarking on Exploration, Field FDP (Studies) Development / Well Planning, Operations, Production optimization, Re/Completion/Stimulation/Perforation WRFM/Surveillance, and will add to E&P value chain. Lastly I am open to remote opportunities, as I have a valid full Petrophysical package of Techlog on my laptop, and possess working knowledge of Petrel and StarSteer packages. With this diverse skillset I am hands-on in the office (OPS Geo/Petrophysicist) and at the Rigsite (Wellsite Geologist) to liase with DSV, well engineering and subsurface teams during critical drilling and completion proposal decisions.
