Objective

To contribute my petrophysical skills to an exploration, production, or

development team focused on West Coast, Gulf Coast, or Middle East basins.

Capabilities Profile

Manager of Petrophysics, Senior Operations Geologist, Project Engineer, and

Petrophysicist, accumulating 26 years experience in well log evaluation

techniques, well completion, perforating, cementing, drill stem testing,

and the integration of sidewall and conventional core results. I also was

involved in training for new engineers. I have a strong work ethic, proven

leadership abilities, and good communication skills.

EXPERIENCE

AVASTHI Cons., Houston, Tx . Sr. Petrophysicist Consultant (Apr 2008- Mar

2009)

Worked for REPSOL YpF of Spain on one of their Argentina projects as Senior

Petrophysical consultant with an integrated multi-national team of

engineers. Duties involved the support of multi-mineral interpretations in

highly complex carbonate and shaly sandstone reservoirs for the

visualization and conceptualization phases of a study utilizing IP

(Interactive Petrophysics of Schl.) software. Duties included log

normalization, rock typing, cutoffs, core data interpretation, evaluation

and optimization of development concepts, and preparation of evaluations

for field development

FUGRO-JASON,Petrophysicist,Employee,Houston,Tx.(Oct.2007- Apr . 2008 )

Worked in Venezuela as Senior Petrophysicist for PDVSA with a team of

engineers from different disciplines in an integrated reservoir delineation

project. Duties involved using Landmark, Halliburton, and Petroworks

software to validiate, QC, and normalize wireline open and cased hole logs

from different service companies and core and formation water analyses for

dynamic reservoir interpretation. Multi-mineral lithology interpretations

involving thin bedded oil and gas producing shaly sand reservoirs were

prepared and decisions made for the drilling of oil, gas, and water

injection wells.

Schlumberger,Petrophysicist,Consultant,Trinidad and Tobago (2007/May-

Sept.07)

Completed a feasibility study of an offshore field for Repsol YPF, in

Republic of Trinidad & Tobago as Senior Petrophysicist, Consultant.Working

with an international team from different disciplines. Evaluated the

protential of young turbiditic sandstones,producing from 34 zones,by using

Schlumberger's Petroview Plus,and Interactive Petrophysics softwares

.Getting the framework done,we mainly worked on quality control and

editing of all wireline and MWD logs, integration of wireline and

production data to get better saturation, and permeability, porosity

agreement with reservoir conditions, normalization of wireline logs to get

better clay content and mineralogy to create a living static model for the

reservoir studies.

IHS Energy, Houston, Tx., USA, Petrophysicist (Jan.2007-May, 2007)

Quality control, editing and merging of all kinds of open hole electrical,

and porosity logs recorded by different wireline and MWD Mud Log service

companies as reference to Oil Companies requirements with using Powerlog

software. Applied petrophysical interpret - tation skills and

experience,especially focused on Gulf Coast, Midland, Africa, Alaska and

Middle East data parameters.

Knowledge Reservoir, Houston Tx., USA,Petrophysicist,Consultant (2006-

2007)

Part time consultancy for BP America Inc.'s Wamsutter tight gas sandstone

project. using Petcom's PowerLog Software. Duties included the

normalization of GR and interpretation of shaly gas producing intervals.

TPAO (Turkish Petroleum Co.,Exploration Group)Operations Geologist (1990-

04)

Involved in projects focused on the delineation of fractured Cretaceous

carbonate reservoirs found in southeastern Turkey and throughout the Middle

East. Applied state-of-the-art Schlumberger wireline well-log evaluation

techniques. Evaluated thin, tight, oil and gas bearing Eocene and Miocene

age sand reservoirs in the Thrace Basin and planned well completion and

workover programs. Utilized wellbore data to prepare subsurface maps and

cross sections to integrate new well data into the regional picture.

TPAO, Manager of Petrophysics (1985-1990)

Evaluated all wireline logs taken by the company and made recommendations

for perforations, well completions, and cementation. Trained company

engineers on wire-line log techniques and assisted the exploration group

regarding logging and interpretation needs. Prepared annual logging expense

budgets and closely monitored the daily expenses submitted by service

companies.

TPAO, Petrophysicist (1980-1985)

Witness to many well site company logging operations ( Schlumberger &

Halliburton) Made quick look evaluations of hydrocarbons present in the

target reservoirs and infor- med supervisors of my findings; the purpose of

which is to determine if the well should be abandoned. Key deliverables

from well site included water saturation,porosity, water resistivity, and

net pay values. Later performed more detailed analysis in theproces -

sing center, including shifts of core to log depth, derived permeability

values were integ- rated into these analyses as well as fracture data from

dipmeters and image logs and the adjustment of Vshale clay content to the

appropriate water saturation equation . Lab-derived permeability values

were integrated into these analyses as well as fracture data from dipmeters

and image logs

TPAO,Mudlogger (1978-1980)

Well-site work that included description of cuttings, monitoring of the

hydrocarbon gases and visual shows, mud weights, pit volumes, and drilling

activities.
