SUMMARY

Geoscientist experienced in prospect maturation and evaluation, sub- and supra-salt interpretation, and well log correlation.

Seeking position with a mid to large sized company to generate and mature drilling opportunities

EXPERIENCE

Blueback Reservoir, Houston, TX (Aug. 2013 – June 2014)

Geologist/Sales-tech

• Posa Rica/Reynosa, Mexico – presented (in Spanish) to Pemex geoscientists the workflow of Blueback plugin (GDI)

for Petrel

• Port of Spain, Trinidad – presented workflow of Blueback plugin (GDI) for Petrel

• Petrel software training courses: Petrel Fundamentals, Petrel Geology, Petrel Mapping and Geologic Workflows, Petrel

Structural Modeling, Petrel Geophysics, Petrel Velocity Modeling

• Skilled user of Petrel and Blueback Reservoir plugins to Petrel: Blueback Geodata Investigator plugin and Blueback

Toolbox plugin

Statoil, Houston, TX (Jun. 2010 – Jun. 2013)

Onshore Associate Geologist (Jun. 2012 – Jun. 2013)

• Produced Pearsall project that included well log correlation, structure and isopach map creation, gross rock volume

calculation in area of interest

• Correlated well logs (GR, resistivity, sonic) of Sligo, Pearsall, Buda, Eagle Ford, Austin Chalk, Midway, Wilcox,

Queen City formations; generated structure maps and isopach maps of the Sligo, Pearsall, Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk

formations; generated isopach map of region using Kelly Bushing and DEM point set data to locate and resolve bullseyes;

introduced to well planning and geosteering

• Created Marcellus and Eagle Ford data management workflows that incorporated geologists, geophysicists,

petrophysicists, GIS analysts, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, PDM, geo-techs, petro-techs; workflow consisted of

pre-planning, planning, execution, production, and reservoir management phases (workflow project done under Project

Data Management)

Offshore Associate Exploration Geologist (Dec. 2010 – May 2012) Subsalt Prospect Maturation/Evaluation Team

Gulf of Mexico subsalt/suprasalt seismic interpretation experience

• Generated structure maps of subsalt and suprasalt formations from NAZ and WAZ seismic data in Green

Canyon. and Mississippi Canyon

1. Performed isopach mapping to identify most-likely shelf to basin sand transport mechanism to determine reservoir

risk

2. Determined subsalt trap (3-way or 4-way closures), seal (BOS or welds), source presence (based on analogues)

and likely migration route

3. Produced well log cross-section based on biostratigraphic correlation

4. Compared structure, fairway, and depositional environment of analogue to prospect

5. Incorporated previously created sub-regional base salt/weld maps, sub-regional stratigraphic cross-sections,

fairway maps and well ties to better evaluate prospect risks

6. Determined probability of success, recoverable resources, column height, critical risks; assessed volumetrics

(deterministic and Monte Carlo)

7. Generated amplitude extractions (suprasalt) to determine if amplitude conforms to structure

8. Presented prospects to colleagues and management

9. Generated and updated ArcGIS maps relative to Statoil active blocks, subsalt prospect maturation, and

relinquishments with intent to effectively prioritize prospects

• Other Salt experience

1. Attended Practical Salt Tectonics course by Mark Rowan and received other salt tectonics instruction in-house by

Xavier Fort and Jean-Pierre Brun

2. Experienced tour of Hockley Salt Dome mine (United Salt Corporation) in Hockley, TX; this 1000’ underground

tour revealed the halite formations in this salt diaper

1. Safety Committee Member – Met monthly with committee members to discuss safety issues, helped coordinate

ergonomics course and generated a Statoil ergonomics survey for those who participated in the course

Statoil, Houston, TX

Internship (Jun. 2010 – Dec. 2010)

1. Generated biostratigraphic correlation of subsalt flex-trend wells

2. Interpreted seismic data in GoM (Mississippi Cyn), mapped suprasalt deep water reservoir; generated structure,

isopach, and amplitude extraction maps

3. Evaluated produced resources and remaining reservoir potential; recommended options of side tracking, recompletion,

or plug and abandon

4. Generated volumes and calculated risk

Houston Community College (2009-2010)

Physical Geology instructor

1. Provided lectures on topics ranging from plate tectonics and sedimentation to coastlines and ocean basins

2. Directed labs on rock/mineral identification, topographic maps interpretation, geologic structures identification, and

block diagram completion

Oxy Corporation, Houston, TX (2008)

Summer Internship

1. Correlated well logs of Wabaunsee and Topeka formations (Greenwood Field, Morton County, Southwest Kansas)

2. Built 3D Petrel models (structural and property)

3. Organized an Excel spreadsheet of the Hugoton Deep Drilling Results of 2007-2008

Apache Corporation, Houston, TX (2007)

Summer Internship

1. Correlated well logs (manually) of the three largest producing sands (Eugene Island in Gulf of Mexico)

2. Generated structural and fault plane maps (manually)

3. Created stratigraphic and structural cross sections in Geographix

4. Identified anomalies in structure and stratigraphy indicating bypassed or attic reserves
