EXPERIENCE
BHP Billiton Petroleum, August 2013-July 2015, Houston, Texas
Operations geologist focused on the Re-steering of 30+ Bossier horizontal wells. Wells were used too accurately constrain structural framework and predict the different Bossier zones and petrophysical properties in the subsurface.
Built 3-D geologic model to identify key acreage in Bossier shale and prioritize well drilling when the play is developed
Developed and presented charge/access inputs for prospects offshore Australia
Black Elk Energy LLC, May 2012-August 2012, Houston, Texas
Made significant contributions as a member of a geosciences team tasked with optimization of mature oil and gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico
Delivered value to the team by identifying and booking reserves
Correlated well logs and constructed subsurface contour, net sand and net pay isopach maps to TVT to
determine original and current fluid levels in reservoirs
Vision Energy LLC, April 2011- February 2012, Lafayette, LA
Provided geotechnical support while learning the operations of a small independent oil company
Retrieved and correlated well logs for the Senior Geoscientists
Produced various geological maps for different fields of interest
